Spotted in southeast Wyoming. The owner bought the Imp 7-8 years ago and it's not for sale, though he did mention its lack of power when climbing hills. Shoulda got a Kristi. :rolleyes: He also has a homemade snowmobile he built in '68. It has a Wards gas engine and a Model A transmission! He says it doesn't go very fast, but can haul quite a load.

Ahhhh! Nice to see a picture of a Bombi again. First snowcat I ever operated was a bombi when I was around 13 yrs old. We had it for a couple seasons till we got our tucker in '94.

I don't know if it is a Cletrac or an Oliver, but that sure looks like an OC-4 differential dangling off its butt! :thumb:


Looking at a Cletrac page now...
http://cletrac.org/



..ok, looks like it's either a Cletrac HG or an Oliver OC-3. I can't tell the difference.

It has a 4 speed transmission like my 195? J5 so that is most likely a 318, engine located behind the driver.

All those pictures and not one of the whole unit ???

Just north of Casper, WY...

The owner might sell the Spryte for about 10K, He's not sure if he would be willing to part with the Tucker, but make an offer and see what happens.

The first one is owned by some FF riff-raff. :rolleyes: The second one I believe to be the first federal cat I've seen in a long time. Most likely FAA.

Man, those are some sad pictures, especially the last one of the Thiokol. :cry:

I agree. The J5s look pretty good, though. And you have to admit that the body on the Thiokol is pretty straight :flowers:

This place was sort of half a Bombardier boneyard. These were the best machines .

I took a tour through that yard a few years ago, looks like the Nodwell got a new coat of paint since then. Lots of bombardier treasures spread all over the yard, but I guess it is the heart of < Bombardier> country , where it all started.

Somebody please explain to me what the difference is between a Snow Trac, Kristi, Thickol/LMC, Tucker and Bombardier.
They all look sort of the same to me after a while..
:hide::mellow:
I NEED to know these things.
