Bombardier is an active Canadian company, with many more parts and divisions than just snowmachines. If you contact them in Valcourt, Quebec (it is the one business in that town), and politely ask about drawings or steel specifications for some of their very old equipment, you never know what luck you might have. I see some of their crawler vehicles regularly used to lug small drill derricks and rock drills around, so that part of the entreprise is still functioning.
