Just received this pic (along with a lot more interesting shots) from Darrin Wright.

It was taken at Monegeeta, the Australian Army's proving ground, although I don't know what era.

Bombardier Muskeg (or Bambi) - one came up for sale in the Queensland auction.

Also see Snowmobiles and Penguins.

Hi Keith, these sites will give some insight on these tracked machines.

I work in Kingston Ontario Canada and we still have some Bombardier SW48 plows that we use to plow sidewalks. The model in your post is I think a J5 and if I remember it would be powered by a Chrysler flat six of either 251 or 265 cubic inches.

Thanks...
 

I thought it might be something like that.

When were these built?

I think the J5 model started in the mid fifties up to around 1969. I can't be sure of the dates because some of the models are very similar in appearance.
