Tucker Sno-Cats

[Shrimpy]

Have a few questions about these.

1. How much does the 8-10' blade (front) weigh?

2. Ever heard of anyone having trouble with the Dana 60 axels instead of the 70HD or 80?

3. Questimate of average hours a machine would see in a season.

4. How do they hold up?



I have looked at new ones (don't ask how) but they are to rich for my blood. Is buying one used a gamble or just like buying a used CTD, check it over REAL well?



Thanks

Planning on some snow in Texas??????? A guy I know had one, it had an old Chrysler slant six in it so I don't imagine the axles would get hurt by that power plant. He had real good luck with his.

Shrimpy, PM me if you want info on Tucker Cats. I am pretty familiar with them. Used to sell em and the tow behind equipment that went with them too. I might be able to answer your questions if I know your intended use.

That is one of the original Tuckers for those that dont know about these. I have seen it in the flesh and blood at the Tucker Manufacturing plant in Medford Oregon. It is pretty neat to see a piece of history like that!



Shrimpy, just got your PM, let me go put in my new Fuel system and I'll PM ya!! Oo. Oo.
