    Close Call, Check your tie rods for wear!

    We had a very close call late yesterday as were loading up to haul the 9600 lb trailer 7hr north on the freeway. The tie rod end on the drag link connection to the pitman arm snapped off creating a total loss of steering. Fortunately, NAPA was still open late on a Sunday and stocked the part I...

    Amazing footage of the Trans Antarctic Expedition

    What an adventure this must've been. The footage of crossing the unknown terrain, crevasses opening up beneath the cats and having to rescue them with whatever the folks had with them. Tucker freighters and tow sleds full of equipment and fuel making history. Cool stuff! :thumbup...

    Tucker roller grease fitting

    I'm sure this has been discussed plenty over the years but I haven't been able to find a clear answer. On the steel track Tuckers, what grease gun tip works the best? The three I have tried from the local auto part store put more grease on the ground then in the bearing. I'm also finding that...

    Tucker 544 out for a cruise today

    Although the weather was not too good, we had a great day crawling around up in the hills of Skagit Valley. It had snowed a few ft up high and the forecast called for wind and rain over the next couple days. We decided to get out while we could before it melted. As we were unloading the cat...

    what radio do you use?

    It's my understanding that "Rugged Radios" are Baofengs that are preprogrammed with proprietary titled channels/ frequencies.

    Tucker 544's shiny pontoon

    Late last season I noticed that one of my fiberglass pontoons was missing a skid plate and had been operating like that for some time. While greasing the rollers, I saw some damage where it looked like the rollers had cut through the bottom of the pontoon on both sides. Further inspection found...

    what radio do you use?

    They are a great radio and they now offer an 8 watt version. There is a small learning curve to get them all programmed, but YOUTUBE has some excellent guide videos. Very happy with Baofeng.

    what radio do you use?

    We have the Baofeng handhelds. That are programmable scanner radios with 5 watt capability. I have also programmed in a few GMRS channels so I can talk to folks with the bubble pack radios too. The Baofengs are great and are pretty inexpensive comparably.

    Tucker 544 gets new shoes

    Over the years, the original pontoon skid plates have deteriorated a bit and were in need of replacing. It appears that a loose track may have allowed the rollers to shift a bit and wear through the welds along the bottom edges of the roller guides. Rather than try and salvage the old ones, we...

    Can anyone confirm what size the axle hub nut tool needs to be to remove my pontoon? 1969 Tucker 542 with 1 Ton International axles. I haven't been able to get a measurement and the part stores need to know if it has A/C or not......:doh: I looked at some old international listings on Rock...

    Tucker Skagit Valley Adventure 01/08/2016

    A big storm was set to hit NW Washington on Sunday so we decided that football would have to wait and we would spend the day taking the Tucker out. We invited a couple friends to ride along to get some fresh air and take in the views. The mighty Tucker ran strong as we made our way up the...

    Have you ever regretted selling your cat?

    Well, that was a close one for me..... I had convinced myself back in August that the cat needed a new home for a variety of non cat related reasons. I put it off till just last week and placed the ad. I seriously have been stressed ever since. Lots of back n forth discussions with the other...
