Tucker Model 722
Although never produced, and I was informed there was no official 722, one prototype was made that used the 700 series pontoons. Maybe there was too much pontoon surface to allow tight turns or too much wear on the bearings from being side loaded while turning so it was never made?? Maybe it's hiding in someone's barn covered in dust? The 'Super Kitten':

Tucker Model 740CF
Busy weekend for everyone?
Question for the curator- was a 742 built? I have a picture of one, but can't determine if it was original or was just a chopped off 743 (since the rear window shape is odd).

Question- would the European and IGY cats be a 743CF ?

Well-known member
I'd like to have a ride up to the advertised 10,000ft area in that one! I wonder how many times it actually made it up that far? I'm guessing zero but who knows?
The Timberline Sno-Cat pictured is not an 800 series cat but a 700. It had the larger displacement engine 354 c.i. as did other larger Freighters. If you look close at the 800 advertisement I believe that there is some mixing of the series shown.
The Timberline Cat was driven up to Triangle Moraine hundreds if not thousands of times. The elevation is closer to 9,800 feet than 10,000 feet. This was the standard turn around point as it had a flat area which made unloading much easier than on the 35 degree slope of the mountain. I have been above Devil's Kitchen in a Tucker which is above 10,200 feet. Gets steep there. Now the wilderness boundary prevents machines from going this high except for rescue work.
Been that, done there.

My mistake, I thought that the photo below the advertisement was part of the advertisement. the photo shows 700 series Tuckers.

Tucker Model 843
Ahhh, I see now. The 700's have 37 grousers w/ 1" rollers. The 800 series had 30 larger grousers with 1.5" (??) rollers. Below is a picture with both. The 700 is rolling forward and the 2) 800's are left & center. Noticeable difference in grouser / roller / pontoon size:
