1966 Tucker Sno-Cat

[@bobjohnson1710]

I can't believe you two went through all the trouble of popping the hood and didn't even bother to give us a quick peek at that Chrysler Industrial Motor! You need to take a Mulligan on this one and take the time to move that camera around a bit more so we can see the guts of that cat!

[@dannistjana901]

Agreed, also there are three levers in the cabin that we have no clue about! Wich is fine since we know how to find a particular tree in the woods! 😆

[@oldschool8432]

1 gear head to others, who wouldn't want to see the Chrysler industrial 318-1bl. But being that age I guess it was the 318 wide block either way if you have a truck channel you have to be showing the engine's

[@MarcStollmeyer]

Also didn’t show us the actual operation of the vehicle. Just a quick shot of it driving from a distance.

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Need to study Leno, and Osborne, just a little, and get plenty of stills, and sweeping shot videos, to show.

I worked with Tucker in the 80's and actually designed the hydraulics on the Hydro-groomer with JIm. I consider Emment, Morris and Maralee as friends. They sell there machines all over the world. They are decent, hard working people with principles. The experience with Trucker has motivated my interest and dedication to Low Impact Tracked Vehicles and Iguana Amphibious Truck. Like the guy with Bonneville Power Co. who had a choice of snow machines said; If you want to get back home for dinner; "take the Tucker". Iguana

[@trappenweisseguy27]

I’m surprised it works as well as it does with tracks that are 98% nothing there. No track pads or shoes at all 🤔.

[@devilsatan2973]

How do you rack up the miles on one of them? It's really easy actually! These machines were made for work. It's not meant to be a toy! Their used at ski resorts, in oil/natural gas, telecommunications, and search & rescue. It's not hard to put some miles on when your working in places where this is really the only rig that can get you there.(and back)

[@ianweniger6620]

Winter math is fun! 13000mi in 46yrs = 280-ish mi/yr. Peak snow season = 6mo/yr = 180-ish days. Daily vehicle use = 280/180 = 1.5mi. Winter math also helpful to figger out if you'll ever use snow gear enough to justify actually buying it.

[@toddbertram6556]

Hardtop imagine the day will soon come that these type of machines are lost and forgotten. We gotta hold on to the past and what it has to teach us. I love these old toys

[@debi5292]

oops my bad the rear shaft is just hidden...

[@mikerostomily1988]

All I can say, is I want one!❤

[@debi5292]

At 7:26 you can clearly see the rear drive shaft is not turning! You might want to check that out. We have a Snow Trac St4 here as it works better in our area where Tuckers are too tall.

[@Deezle_Gaming]

Look closer, that's not the driveshaft you're looking at.

Great vidio awesome that these old snow cats are still around.even more amazing is that Snow Cat is still around and had parts!!!. Thanks

[@cameronmcpeak5183]

The amount of fantastic innovation present in the early and middle of the 20th century are truly amazing. Is there any chance we can get a video of one of Legacy’s trucks doing a multi day trip up in the hills?

[@thisoldtruck4719]

Man, I would love to do that. Multi-day episodes of This Old Truck would be really cool. One day, inshallah.

[@danb.709]

I love how in a list of nasty winter places Wyoming is first, I'm not sure my state is ahead of Alaska in that regard, but I suppose it is nice to be acknowledged.

[@joedirt7832]

When I was stationed In Kodiak Alaska with the Coast Guard we had a Tucker Sno -Cat. It was a beast and kept going.

[@benlzicar7628]

Because of the gear reduction in the transfer case in Tuckers, you're supposed to divide the mileage by 2.4, at least for a 400 series of that area. Still..... 5,000 miles on 60yr old Tucker ain't bad.

[@jessiehughes9432]

Everytime I see a snow cat it reminds me of the movie 'The Shining' 😳😬

[@bobjohnson1710]

"Ice Station Zebra" for me!

[@mikec9349]

I live in Medford, Or. I'm going to stop by Tuckers shop. Never realized they where still in business. Back in the day we u sed one of these in the winter trouble shooting telephone line outages in the Cascade Mountains along Hwy 140.

[@thisoldtruck4719]

Send us pics of the shop! This Old Truck would love to see what you find!

[@mikec9349]

@@thisoldtruck4719 I stopped by the Tucker Shop today. How can I private message you with some info?

[@kennethlewis4641]

My granddad used to operate one of these for the FAA to access the transmitter at Montebello some years ago. Before that, they used a Polaris Sno-Traveller.

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Imagine this amazing machine, pulling your big cozy perch fishing shanty five miles, out on Saginaw Bay....

[@michaelguerin56]

Thank you. Nice point of difference. I have been interested in the Sno-Cat ever since I acquired a copy of Vivian Fuchs’ book about the Trans Antarctic expedition that was part of the International Geophysical Year activities in 1956/7?

[@A3Kr0n]

Old truck? I was fully five years old when that was made!

[@jeffsiegwart]

Very Cool!

[@garthmcgibbon4285]

Forgot to mention where you found it!

[@bobsrepairshop]

Question, how do you put 13,000 miles on a Tucker? You work for AT&T, driving daily to mountain top microwave sites, every winter for 15 years. In reality it was more like 30,000 miles. Loved my old tucker, it was super reliable..

[@Vince-ml9gw]

Awesome.

[@hadleymanmusic]

I remember popular science and these.

If Jack Torrance spent more time in his, he may not have gone crazy.

Its so damn c9zy i wished I could afford one and live in it.

[@percyfaith11]

If you could afford one, you wouldn't live in it.

[@RADIOACTIVEMASCULINITY]

I want one even though I have no use for it 😂

[@wz7285]

What you described about the steering is the same as I experienced on Cat Scrapers, with high hours🥴

[@willrector9716]

Need some summer rubber for that thing

[@garylockwood1332]

I have a Tucker snow cat , I think it’s a 1970 it has the steel tracks, do you know where to get the rollers for the steel tracks?

[@michaelosborne9674]

Here's a q for ya....if the top of the track is moving 40mph, how fast is the bottom of the track moving?

are you going to restore it?

Nothing fancy but it just works, a bit rattly but no worries, it just works.
