Pretty darn nice looking Tucker for it's age.
Prime candidate for some one to lavish some love and grease on the old girl, and bring her back to life. Some one is going to get a great machine here, I think... But what do I know, I own a Snow Trac..
Regards, Kirk
Kirk Kirk Kirk,
and what do you know? you are a pretty smart guy, you have a snow trac,
FYI, far far far cheaper than buying a $5K project machine and spending $20 plus grand to get it into the same condition, just start with the rollers, 248 needed and they will cost you approx, $50.00 for new reproduction ones, and that comes to: $12,400.00, that is only, if you want to do it right. it all adds up very quickly.
And the Thiokol looks very clean as well
as far as nimble snow cats, the size and ability of the A model spryte is tops.
Tuckers are great, iconic and have that all american family story, but Im sorry they are pitifully small. Why the tracks are out to 96" and the cab is +- 50" wide is a mystery to me. sure they will go anywhere, eventually..... Yawn, yawn wipe eyes........
The A model cat is light, fast, responsive, Large enough to close the door with out leaning in front of the passenger.(s) Up to 10 comfortable passengers, hell each person could pack a lunch and still have room for a cooler of liver stressers.....
5k and climbing...... go team thiokol, dmc, LmC
< I always pull for the under dog>
the thiokol sold for $11,381.50 with buyer fees, if I did the math correctly.
I think that is a good value for the money.
ah, what do I know, I drink orange Kool-aide...
hope the new owner is happy and enjoys his thiokol for years to come.
$11,381.50 works out to $15,069 CAD, plus transport and other fees - still seems like a lot of money for that cat to me
yup, that is a LOT of money, transportation and fees, do add even more to the cost, hope the new owner enjoys lots of smiles, mile after mile of trouble free snow catting, otherwise it is a long way to snow shoe out. hopefully, it is a good very well cared for and property serviced machine, with little to no issues.
the only answer to the high cost of getting a snow cat, is for every owner to give their snow cat away. even better, they pay you to take it away.
yes, sadly, it is a lot of money.
it would appear that owning my low mileage 1344 is better than having money in the bank
Are any of you willing to say if you’re gonna bid on the Tucker?
ah,
lets turn this around and ask, are you bidding?
I’m kinda starting to fall in love with the ‘56 443’s now.......
