Default Only survivor

I think it is the only one. I heard mention of another, but nothing to back it up. It is possible that both people were speaking about the same vehicle when in different ownership.



Engine and drivetrain complete, seems to be missing the instrument panel ( with serial plate - rats ..... ) all the glass, all the lights, plus the tracks.

Tracks are only conveyor belt with bolted-on grousers and drive lugs. I'll probably get a UK conveyor belt producer to cut two lengths of elevator belt ( conveyor belt with moulded-on lugs ) and join them, then Vulcanise the joints. Drive lugs will be bolted-through turned nylon bar or the like.

This vehicle was offered to numerous people but turned down because it had no tracks. As presumably the only survivor of 36 built you would have thought someone would have wanted it. I have no issues with the vehicle or the work, but as usual the cost of transporting from California to Scotland is the killer - had to be done though.

I have four M19 ski / wheel trailers here, so I have two 1950 units to tow behind the Tucker and two 1944 units to tow behind the T-36.

PS - still needing two Dodge hard cab military door window surround frames when you run across a pair.

Gordon,
You are definately a man with snow machine issues,(M-H Sno-Go, Tucker Sno-Cat, T-36 Snow Tractor, numerous ski trailers, ect)!
Great to have something to spring you out of bed in the morning, and that rare vehicle is as good a reason as any.
Hope the project goes smoothly for you.

Have one good window surround here that you can have, so if you find another you'll have a set......
Regards, David

Default Thanks Dave

I think I've put about five gallons of petrol in the Sno-Cat since I got it, so they aren't expensive. I suppose I could always fire up the T-36 and sit there running the sprockets - save a lot of track wear.

I'd have that surround please - easier to pay for it and post it or hang on to it in case you run across another?

Gordon
