Hi all,
The Hydrostatic Imp (yes, hydrostatic!) is for sale now by a friend of mine(neighbor).
This is in good condition. You may contact the seller from the info below. If you would like any additional info or pics, I will be in the area on Sept 6th.
He is only selling it because he needs a full size groomer cat to push snow.
This is a great cabin access or utility cat.
Here's the link and a couple pics,
Vance

Here is a rare 1977 Thiokol Imp hydrostatic snow cat. From what I am told Thiokol made about six hydrostatic Imps as prototypes. Imps and Super Imps are typically brake steer transmission driven, which is a thing of the past. Any 2-track snow cat made today is hydrostatic. So this cat moves like a newer one meaning you can spin this cat around in the same spot. It has hook-ups in the rear for a small groomer or a log splitter or anything you want to run that is hydraulic. It has a 4-way blade on front. All lights, wipers and the heater work. While most Imps have 4-cylinder motors this one has a straight-6 for extra power. Comes with a lumber rack which can be removed without tools or you can wrap a tarp over it and you'll have a covered cab for people to ride in the back seat (fits 2-3), plus the two standard seats in front. All hoses are in good shape, rubber and grousers on tracks are in good shape. Could use two new tires in left back, tires on right are all good. Has an extra radiator in back for heat for people riding in back. Driver door window is cracked but still working. Snow cat is located at Donner Summit, California. Pick up only. I'm willing to drive it onto trailer if you have it shipped. It has ~7,500 hours on working Hobbs meter. Please feel free to call Mike with any questions: (530) 613-2764.
