Tucker Model Sequencing (in order)
- Thread starter DAVENET
- Start date
I think I'll just leave it and say that a 1444 looks just like this, as long as it doesn't have a V-8 (and a 1544 tag! 
) Since I've never seen a 1450 series listed other than on this sheet, I'm guessing everything with the V-8's were tagged as 1500 series. But yours may fit the in between status since it would have the larger engine, but appears to have the smaller carriers??

It has the Chrysler 318 V8, it's also been converted to fuel injection. And unlike my 1642, This machine can be shifted on the fly while the machine is still moving. The does read 74, 1544, I have the original order sheet at my shop, maybe I will snap a pic of it. I didn't want to screw up the thread with all these posts... we can delete them too if need be...
Arch, you're are set with your 1544. I should have clarified a little more. If yours had the 6 cylinder, it would be tagged as a 1444. Since I can't find a picture of a 1444 I figured I would just leave yours there as the example.
I think that instead of Tucker designating a 1450 series (as on the sheet above), anything with the V-8 would be covered under the 1500 classification. 1400's had the I-6. But, like all things Tucker, I am certain there is a caveat to that!

Tucker Model 2742
Last (?) of the 'classic series' is technically a 1742 Wide Track. But they are almost always referred to as a 2700 series (not sure if the id plates reflect that or not). Tracks are 38" wide instead of 28" and have 6 bands instead of 4.

Now that we're into the six-belts, here's an odd one-off. Not sure of the model number, but it's purportedly Tucker's prototype hydrostatic cat, built in '83. It was offered with what looks to be a 12-foot wide tiller.
Unfortunately the photos don't show the axles well. Would be interesting to see what's down there and how they did it.
Pontoon Princess - can you give us any history on this one?

That was just a semi-educated assumption (?) due to the added weight & torque of the diesels over the gas powered units that there must be additional bracing or gussets stock.
I would also assume that any 1600 that had a diesel as an option would have had those added on w/ the engine. But that is just my pure speculation . . . 
I guess right here with the hybrid machines?? How many of those were actually sold? I love how this one sheet shows the numbering mess/confusion.
4540. Wide stance torpedo. Makes sense.
4543. Wide stance sedan. Makes sense.
425. What??
4 series, 2 tracks & 5 doors? Who came up with that?
