...This is the "Snow Tank". Boasting a 2.5L engine geared for low end torque, this snowcat is one mean machine! Designed to be a winter workhorse, it can haul loads that would ordinarily destroy a snowmobile. I purchased the 1976 Bombardier Bombi in the summer and gave it some upgrades! In this episode, we used the Snow Tank to haul a trailer-load of materials into the remote log cabin build site. Things were going smooth until...well, you'll just have to watch and see what happens.

The shot of the snow cat showing it coming forward towards the camera up the trail around a bend was great. What caught my attention was that there were no footprints in the snow for setting up your camera. It's always amazing to realize the effort it takes to capture many of the scenes.

[@almoody7155]

I noticed that, too. Thought it was either the drone or his dad, because there was a little bit of camera movement a the end of the shot to keep the tank in view

[@Staroy]

@@almoody7155 Has to be the drone, otherwise, he would have attempted driving the track back on with his dad as a spotter.

Love your optimism when things like the roofing and tracks coming off are thrown to you! I think you made the right move waiting till the spring to install the right colored roofing!

[@kelleygiambro7542]

Even when things don’t go as planned, there’s that Outsider smile. Thanks for showing that hurdles don’t have to create a bad attitude, adjust, adapt, and move on. Love it. God bless you and your family my friend.

[@francoislepine4698]

You've learned the first rule of operating a sno-cat: minimum and intermittent steering inputs for whatever radius turn you want or need. If worse comes to worse make three-point turns. If you're lucky the adjustment on that rear idler wheel will be great enough so you can put the track back on without having to split it. If you're not, it'll even be a LOT more work as the lacing appears to be on the bottom side of the track as it sits. It would be a relatively easy job if you had another snow-cat to pull/drag/drive the Imp backwards out of the track, find the lacing, split it and pull/drag the Imp back onto the laid out track. But you don't. You MAY be able to "drive" the cat backwards and out of the track by applying full left hand brake (so the left sproket does not turn) and get the cat to limp backwards out of the track (with people or the snomobile pulling on the track away from the cat.... or on the opposite side pulling on the rear of the cat sideways to it goes backwards sort of straight). Good luck.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Great advice, from an obviously experienced operator. ...Long story short, we had to split the track. 😖😄 ...and yes it was a brutal job, especially without having a second machine to help.

[@francoislepine4698]

@@TheOutsiderCabin GOOD!....yeah, spent 25 winters, with a few breaks in between, grooming ski runs.....never drove a Bombardier Bombi like yours (in my earlier post I mistook it for a Thiokol Imp) but drove other cats with planetary diffs with steering brakes. The sprokets at the front were a distinctive Bombadier feature for a very long time. This lays the track "loose" on the snow ahead of the first tire...a feature that enhances traction considerably compared to the now universal rear sproket lay-out. The downside is it's easier to throw a track. If you do have to make a really sharp turn it's best to make SEVERAL small changes of direction...releasing the tension on the track between a few different brake applications. Long, gradual turns aren't a problem though. Nice job restoring that Bombi I must say. I'm jealous! Regards, F

[@GroomerGuy]

I can feel my old fingers freeze again from being out on the trail having to do that in the cold and wind. I run a Pisten Bully Trail bully now on the trails, its a Cadillac. When you are lucky to start to hear noise (Grousers rubbing on the frame) and catch it before it comes all off and you can reverse in back on that's a "OMG that was close"

[@michaelmacdonald7342]

In the long run the Snow Cat will be a great piece of kit to have, the issue with it is pretty minor and part of learning the new machine, it is good that you at least have a use for the steel roofing. Great video, that is a "TANK" in the snow.

[@heinrichnitschke5485]

The snow cat was an awesome idea, great fun and for emergencies. Fun too.

[@jacksak]

That's pretty funny about leaving the camera. It's so easy to forget that you are setting up all those camera shots. And, I just got through commenting on how difficult it is to shoot those scenes, which are so good that I forgot to think about you coming back for the camera.

[@ciberbri59]

The snow cat is awesome. Not much stops you Canadians in winter but a thrown track. Looking forward to the fix video.

[@IR-nq4qv]

"Look on the bright side lad...., This could have been serious.., you could have easily been 20 kilometers/ miles away, alone and unprepared during a blizzard in minus 20 temperatures. The Snow Cat cosmetically for a 1976..., it looks awesome, in the hot rod world, some would say " But Chrome Won't Get You Home", I agree, engine and drivetrain is all important, everything else is convenience, I would focus on that. I'm just glad you are safe and leave it right there . Do a video showing what went wrong, what caused it, and how you fixed it. You can buy identical paint to paint the tin roof, it would be cheaper and easier to carry a gallon of paint back in the bush. All you need is a small scrap from the existing roof, take it to any paint store, they can match it these days with the equipment they have.

[@newandoldtech5634]

Welcome to the world of tracks! Your fun is just beginning and you will learn to only use them for "needed" work, to keep the repairs to a minimum!! SR

[@stephanelachance6195]

Could not agree more with you sir !! I have a 1988 argo magmum and even though I rebuilt the machine completely , it is still is an old tracked vehicule that needs to be operated with gentleness and cared for alot....otherwise it will make you pay dearly! Parts are getting rare and very expensive!! So I don't use it for "just fun riding" Nobody tells you this, you learn the hard way....like The Outsider did!!

[@filmbluff99]

@@stephanelachance6195 Yes the world of tracked driving is an interesting one. I drive, maintain, repair old military vehicles for a museum. Great fun. However the maintenance can be challenging. One tip I would give, pay particular attention to the recommended maintenance. With modern cars they can be relatively forgiving on some degree of neglected or delayed maintenance. Tracked vehicles and plant really appreciate the greasing and maintenance that is recommended. For some tracks it is strongly recommended that certain parts are greased EVERY time the vehicle has been through water. I am not certain where snow would count in this greasing recommendation. I will follow the progress of the snow cat with interest. Especially the job of replacing the track. I hope the Outsider has the recommended special tools if any are required for this machine. Most of my experience of replacing tracks has involved, splitting the track, winding it on, clamping it back up, and rebooting. It will be interesting to see how it works out on this machine.😀🇬🇧

[@stephanelachance6195]

@@filmbluff99 Your work at the museum really hit a sensible cord for me. My love for tracked vehicules dates a long time ago when I was around 8 years old. My uncle had a bombardier j5 ( the ones with the round top) that he used to collect maple water. Being to young to carry the heavy pails, my cousins and I would ly on the j5 top for a whole afternoon and I was hypnotized by looking at theses unstopable tracks turn through snow, mud and water. Even today at 52 years old, I can still remember the sound of the gasoline engine and the smell of the exhaust. And of course...I never heard my uncle swear...except when he threw off a track in a big mud hole. Priceless memories ! I truly envy your work in keeping theses vehicules alive , a respect to our past and the soldiers who drove them and lost thier lives for us.

[@onebackzach]

It seems like with every big project, there's a day where everything feels like it's working against you, and the finish line is nowhere in sight. For me, I take it as a sign to take a step back, take a short break, and reaffirm myself as to what I'm working towards and why I'm doing it. You can get so hung up on deadlines and small tasks, and lose sight of the forest for the trees.

The snowcat is so freakin cool! Not surprised you painted it yourself! You did a great job looks professional. Love the led lights too. I really like that you don’t edit out any issues that arise. You handle everything thrown your way, I’d be cussing up a storm. 🤣🤣 Yay the last 2ft arrived. Moms got her eye on everything what a comfort to know. Get some spray paint! It’s also not salvaged like the others. You turn lemons into lemonade every time. God bless you O. 🌲🪓🔦❄️

[@HM-zu6lu]

You are doing a fantastic job, - everyone can do a mistake and learn from it too! Perhaps you can work on something else; work from the inside of the cabin ie. have the stove going, and stuff all seams in the out walls with hemp or suitable material, then you have excluded the draft and can be in relative comfort. you can fit the windows from inside provided the openings are covered with plastic foil. The gable triangles can be covered in robust WPB plywood from outside and there is space for 2 square windows standing on a corner (ie 45 degr. offset) and a rustic cladding of western red cedar shakes on the outside, - it looks very good. - just a thought.

When things get tough you’ll find Outsider making lemonade. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Adversity just means your course gets slightly altered, but you keep the end in sight.

[@abitofapickle6255]

With my experience as a Abrams Driver (Now gunner), tracked vehicle maintenance is imperative. If your tension is loose, and you make too tight of turns, especially in sand, dirt etc, you WILL throw track. If it can happen to a snow cat, it will happen to a M1a2. Material like that will physically push against the track, as well as stack up, pushing the roadwheels up and over the center guides, walking it off the center guides, and off the sprocket. I've seen sprockets pop off from that as well. Welcome to life as a tanker.

[@florencediaz7713]

Go Sr. Outsider! Love watching you plow through the snow with that Snow Tank! Whoa! It is a beast.

[@TheUserid82]

Sending in a sample can be a pain so the easier one is to go to a place that has a tester to get the color code of it.

[@Zach8264]

Could also just paint the steel to match. Just have to go to a decent paint place that can do the mixtures with the galvanized primer and whatnot. Plus you'll want that paint anyways cause if there's hail or heavy winds that damage the roof I doubt he's going to be able to re do the entire thing out in the bush, be better off patching and painting to match

[@johngreydanus2033]

Of course, without knowing the details of how he is ordering this steel roofing, I would think there might be a receipt or email of the original order; simple case to check the details there, dates, how much, cost, color.

You can still throw track by continuously turning which show/mud/sand can get stuck and push the roadwheels out of place. what I've been taught was chop steering which is basically you turn then straighten out to clear the debris in the track then you repeat the action.

Usually there is a grease cert that can be opened to allow the track to loosen even more. Then use a comealong to reposition the track. Last, use the grease point to stretch the track back into position with correct taunt ness.

10 steps forward and 4 back. Just the name of the game. I have had the same problem with choosing colors over the internet, sometimes it's just a crap shoot. But, it still shows wonderful forward progress. And, thanks for the unintended update on Mrs. Outsider. I am assuming that she helping you to choose color means that she is up and functioning. Also, it was great to see Outsider, Sr. He looks better everytime he appears. The only ones we haven't heard about are your grandfather, and little girl Outsider. Hopefully, all is well with them as well. The cabin is looking smart!! You guys are doing such a wonderful job. I love watching, but have no desire to come and help. I grew up in the snow and loved playing in it, and the work needed to exist and live in it is not worth it, that's why I moved to a place where, if you want to have fun in the snow, you have to drive there. Luckily, I am not used to it anymore. I absolutely love your videos! Keep on working at it, you'll be done before you know it. Well, gotta run, be safe, stay well. Oh, it's not clear why a young man who started a project with an axe, chainsaw, some property from his grandfather going spare, and Jesus, should be down because of some minor setbacks. With all you currently have, you have been blessed beyond belief.

[@fetobeatle]

I'm a professional painter, what you can do is: match the green color of the original metal sheets in any Sherwin Williams paint store with direct to metal paint, also you can rent an air less for half day in home depot and spray the metal sheets, in your garage, just in case you don't want to wait 3 or 4 months to finish the roofing at the cabin .

[@clutelmm]

In the Marines, I was a Tanker. If you turned the Tank like you did with your snow cat, you could throw a track. So. As not to do that, you would turn, let up and go straight a foot or two, turn, let up, turn, let up some, and head straight onto your intended direction. It just hit me! If you have the opportunity to buy a, "Hook and Pintle" hitch setup. That would be a better towing setup for, off the road towing.
