My slave cylinders are leaking and local hydronic shop is having a hard time rebuilding them. a couple of questions. This is for a T16 rear end. Can’t find the proper cups. Anybody know where I might find the right parts?

Who can tell me about ram steer? Sounds like a power boost for an old brake steer cat.

Jackson Hole is experiencing the biggest snow year I can remember in my 40 + years living here. My 1971 FlexTrac Nodwell is working hard to keep my Sleigh trail groomed. It has been running well all winter in cold soft snow. I can "carve" a smooth turn in this type of snow even while pulling a...

I need to replace the ballast resister in my Nodwell. What are the pros and cons of the present rotor, points and condenser seat up versus an electronic ignition system? I am trying to learn about these two systems. Thanks for any input you may have.

Flextrak Nodwell FN15 Snopacer pulling my Junk Yard Drag(Pat Pend) designed and built by Dirtbag Engineering.

I have figured out how to make my Nodwell run but I'll be darned if I can figure out multiple image posts. Hate being limited to one image/ post. I know it can be done but don't know how.

Anybody have knowledge of the slave cylinder on this old Nodwell. I think the rear end is a T-16. I would like to rebuild the slaves. Are parts available for this?

A lovely spruce log floated onto the bank last spring during high water. We have been eyeing it ever since. Today was the day to harvest it. We cut it into 15' pieces and used the Nodwell to drag them onto the bank. A good snowpack made it possible. Nice looking wood. In a few years this...

Meanwhile, back at my office, the Nodwell is running like a bear. This is part of my daily run, grooming the sleigh track at Jackson Hole Vintage Adventures. The homemade grooming tools work just fine. I add and subtract certain tools from this array as snow conditions change. Can lay down a...

An early winter storm just deposited well over a foot of new snow in the valley. Time to get the Nodwell fired up and start packing the sleigh trail. I had to change one tire that had a slow leak but once that was done all system we go. What a joy to work under a bright sunny sky in fresh light...

I need a trailer for my FN 15 Nodwell. It is about the same size as a Thiokol Spryte, 8' wide and about 15' long with the blade attached. Weight is around 4500 lbs. Would like a deck over tilt bed style. Any info on where I should be looking for such a trailer would be appreciated.

OK guys, you are going to love this one. The front tensioning wheel fell off my Nodwell and it now sits in the field in need of care. Seems I failed to tight the lug bolts enough after fall repairs and it came off while driving. Nothing else got tore up but I must now retract in the field...

Working to get my '71 Nodwell FN 15 up and running for the season. What type of oil should I use in the T-16 rear end?

Time to put the boats away and get the "new" Nodwell ready for the snow season. Ran fine when I brought it home in March but does need a new exhaust manifold gasket. Started by taking the tracks off. Guess this is something I should know how to do. Much better look at the guts of it now...

I have been hosting this cat for the Boys Scouts for the past three winters. It has a Cummins Deisel that runs very well. Needs a good man to keep it up. The Scouts would like to sell it along with the truck and trailer. You can PM me with questions. SnowCat for Sale – come to Jackson Hole...

What kind of additives do I need to add to modern gas to run in this old motor built to run leaded gas?

I just purchased a1971 Flextrac Nodwell FN 15. The engine is a Ford 200 straight six. Got to thinking that engines of that vintage were built for leaded gas. Will I need to add lead to my gas? what octane should I use? Y

Just checked out a strange cat called a Flextrac Nodel. Built in Calgary, Canada. Kinda looks like a Spryte with many of the same features. This one has a Ford straight six 200, NP435 four speed manual tranny and a T16 diff. Plate indicates that it is a 1971 vintage. anybody got parts for...

Have been grooming my sleigh trail with a Spryte 1200 for tha last few years. It runs well and has given me few problems. Lately I have been noticing the rear end temp gauge pushing past the 200 degree mark. Today was a warm day in Jackson Hole, 30 degrees plus and my rear end temp gauge hit...
