i would like to know where it spent its navy life i happen to know where there is a navy st-4 and there are only a few places the navy would have had one in the us wales and st laurence island come to mind also i would bet there was a navy instalation up by barrow cool find if the navy had a toy like that yu can bet it had a use
the navy snow trac i'm working on getting was stored in side of a buildig about 50miles south of the arctic circle and only had 150 hours on it its still sitting in that building some 15 years after the navy turned the building and stuff in side to the village and has never been run since the last person that seen it was a dot mechanic and he said it looked like new on the inside but the out side was covered in dust.Trying to track the history down on this, but it spent 2.5 years in Missouri, prior to that sounds like mostly stored and rarely used but only for transporting school children as required in of all places Texas.......in a town of less than 100 people if it snowed it took them to school , no snow days in Texas I guess. before that it came from the Navy but do not know why or where yet. but we have someone working on it .
Has anyone ever seen a 601 tagged by the Navy?seems to have all the same inside as the Air force units ( Blue) orange roof stiffener just never seen a Navy one anybody?
the navy had nothing to do with the dew line but around here on the coast what i can talk about because i know more than the locals is they boh had a deep port for supportof arctic opps and a summarine base both are now closed any thing after that i can't talk aboutNice 601 Boggie......What I know about Thiokol and the Navy, is they DID badge some for the Navy and also the US Marines Corps. I have a small factory pic of a 604 badged in US Navy. The pics are in black & white so its hard to tell what color it is. However it looks the same shade of color as the Air Force blue cats in other factory pics that I have. This 604 that I have a pic of is meant to float and was intended for fire fighting according to the note on the back of the pic. Now on the other hand the pic that I have of Thiokol Cat badged in US Marines Corps, they also call a 604 BUT it can not float and dose look different that the 604 that floats. So my "guess" is your 601 did belong to the Navy, and probably for ground transportation around a Navy base in some cold region along the DEW line.
I think he would have preferred it to be blue myself.what an insult painting a m37 krusty orange must have had some left over HA HA
the only real color is 24087 simi gloss olive greenI think he would have preferred it to be blue myself.
Perhaps that is why Bobcat is absent.. he may be busy going green....the only real color is 24087 simi gloss olive green
The navy still operates an active station here in North Idaho!i would like to know where it spent its navy life i happen to know where there is a navy st-4 and there are only a few places the navy would have had one in the us wales and st laurence island come to mind also i would bet there was a navy instalation up by barrow cool find if the navy had a toy like that yu can bet it had a use
You guys are blind! That vin tag says 603. NOT 601.
I guess a good scrubbing could get that funky Navy smell out of her..... Maybe.
yep, did have a smell mouse nest under the front seat, but the 3 as in 603 was a photo magic opportunityof someone ( the three appears bigger) , definitely a 601
Well you guys believe what you want to. But that looks like a 3 to me. Who has the 603 now? Just ask them to get a picture.
Ask and ye shall receive... here's the line-up.
And there was NO photo-fuzzing with the Navy tag. Note the Navy one is from a lossy video while the other two are still shots... maybe it's a case of 'jesus toast'... I dunno. Boggie...why don't you just take a still photo of it?
Trust me it is a 601, do not need a photo. it has already been polished, it lost its blue haze. new glass,new tubes, new front tires, new vlave cover gasket,new battery in the tach sending unit, new master cylinders, original styled mirrors, new spotlight, rotating light fixed, etc. etc. ready to be driven.
was not drivable the way it showed up the tubes were so old you put air in and it just leaked out.
