1958 Tucker Sno Kitten Model 222 (Locke’s Ski Tow)
- Thread starter Track Addict
- Start date
Kitten has been taking some laps and getting exercise moving around for other East Coast Preserve specimens.
New correct radiator hoses, clamps, water pump rebuild, plus making the headlights and wiper great again coming soon. Sourced the period correct wire loom, cloth wire, and non insulated terminals waiting for install.
Other preservation cats have yielded the missing hardware with correct patina to plug some holes in this project.
Winter vibes en fuego!

This kitten spent its life grooming a small ski hill. The original hitch wore out so the prior owner added this piece of angle iron to continue its service life.
I am breaking my preservation mantra of no further modification for a worthy cause.
The SKI TRAILER is getting ready for sharing and travels nicely in an enclosed 3 place snowmobile trailer.
Here the addition of a 2” raw steel hitch tube should rust in and blend nicely over time and allow the Kitten to be a great support vehicle for the trailer.

Big hitch for a little kitten!
Would not want to tow much more than this empty trailer. I have a cool pintle wood slat roller project to honor its grooming roots!

Kitten had no lights and no wiring to them when I got it.
Dismantled buckets to find one of the OE copper ground tabs was broken. These don’t always ground well and make the bezel harder to install.
So I made a upgrade mod to ground stealing a rivet stud that most won’t notice.
New matching cloth wire, terminals. and asphalt loom from brillman roughed in.
Switch needs to be replaced with something same/similar.

Period correct ignition switch and fused on/off pull switch from Brillman installed. Sourced a Bakelite LIGHTS knob which is of the period. Turns out this stick switch knob matches the wiper switch which is on the list with the motor that’s disconnected.
Gauge lights sourced and installed. Couldn’t figure out what this resistor was on the fuel gauge but cracked the code after studying
and 
manuals. 
party lingo typical of Boston!
Dodge clusters of this style were 6v and 12v. 6v amp gauge read 0-50, 12v read 0-30 amps. This is a 12 volt but I bet Tucker had a bunch of 6v fuel tank senders to liquidate and this resistor was the solution.
I already replaced the sender with a 12v not knowing and it reads weird. Will clean up this circuit next and see what happens…

Under dash wiring is complete for now. Lights all working but confirmed the generator is not generating and the wiper motor is DOA.
Kitten keeps dropping plugs and starts hard. Not sure where I sourced the plugs but they were wrong with Champion RH10.
Ford Anglia 100E manual says use Champion L10. Those were discontinued and became L86C. Modern resistor plug is Champion RL86C. It’s a longer plug that what was in it
but not GMoose hit the piston long.
Fires right off, idles awesom, and Kittens great again!

Kittening!
I can't believe you put that hideous screw in the headlight almost looks "factory"!!
What’s the link? Hope they are doing as good a job as me.
Only finding my Kitten in the UK:https://vintageandclassicspares.co.uk/1958-tucker-sno-kitten/
Found it on FB. It’s cut from the forums.
Reached out to mess with the user.

Got to be a scam…how can we get these people…any ideas they used to scam in old tractors now they switched to cats…
I was buying it back for 30,000 and only had to but 2000$ down.
Thought I would need gift cards or bitcoin but Zelle is the preferred method for scammers

I flagged multiple ways. Seems to be a BOT.
Facebook won't, will not, take the page down, which tells me, Facebook supports fraud, scammers and thieves.
Same they disagree with me. Calling DOGE now…….
I am done with Facebook, never needed them in my life. truly a waste of time
I've reported scam and virus posts to FB, and have gotten back the "this doesn't violate our standards" reply. If a freking virus doesn't violate your standards what does? #@%$&$@$%@@
Full roller grease job done by Jr for youth punishment. Some say punishment fits the crime others say I gave him a vacation!

Thanks to all the Veterans and Tuckers who served for us!
God Bless and President Trump!
