The New Snow Cat on the Job. Recovering a couple Chevy Trucks!

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

Related Channel kzbin.infovideos We are On the Road Again, we try out the new Snow Cat and while we are on the Mountain we recover a few Chevy Trucks stuck in the snow. This little guy will fill the small gap we had with the Nodwell. These little snow cats are not really designed for Off Road Snow Recovery, but they are great little toys. We will use it for recreational fun and some recovery work. Thanks for coming along for a ride and Thanks for Watching

Who made the snow cat is the company still in business? There are many maker's that have gone bankrupt!

@Caseys Off Road Recovery I was gonna say Thiokol.. I've got it's bigger brother (the 6 cyl edition) and use it from time to time when I feel like playing in the snow

[@phartsky]

Your dogs drive me crazy... seems like they're gonna get run over!! Great video as usual!! Thanks!

Blue healers are way to smart to get run over.😀

You have the very best videos on KZbin I can watch these all day a one-man army is what you are you got the power guy more videos please

Stunning scenery, thank you for the ride.

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@robs4517]

Actually that engine is a V-4 Ford. It is made by the European Ford division. The V-4 was used for years in the small Ford cars and trucks. It actually is a really good little engine. You can get a bunch of performance parts out of England and Germany.

[@HelterSkelter199]

I believe they were usually found in industrial applications in the US/Canada. We had an old White forklift with one and I think they were also in skid steers and generators ect. Parts were a pain to find in the US tho even 30 years ago, I think we horse traded it for an 50's Clark with Continental flat head 4.

[@edwardglamuzina3421]

I have a 1969 Saab Sonnet with that same engine.

[@clivehorridge]

In the UK it was used in the Ford Executive. At that time in the 70s, it was a hi-end car, super plush, quiet and powerful, in its day.

[@dartmoordave]

The v4 was sh*t. Endless problems. The v6 "Cologne" engine was far superior.

[@doomman700]

I would find a 4bt or a kubota diesel and never look back

Folks like Casey's off Road Recovery makes me still have faith in America!!

The snow cat looks real good running through the snow. Thumbs UP !!

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

The little bugger gets right after it. The engine will out run the suspension!

[@sonofalbion7651]

Really enjoy your videos, Casey. No two of them are ever the same and it almost always involves something that most folks don't get to do. Sometimes you are working your **** off, sometimes you're just goofing around and other times you're doing things to help others. Thanks and much appreciation!

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

I appreciate that!

Casey the snow cat is a true work horse for sure. It pulled out two trucks pretty easily

I am amazed at how fast that thing can actually move !

Saabs used this V4 Ford Motor after they stopped using the two strokes in the sixties and early seventies. Todd the retired trucker.

Mr Casey Glad to see the Snow cat already getting put to work. Thanks for sharing and stay safe

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

The old girl still needs a few odds and ends. That was a good test run.

[@markreetz1001]

Very impressed with the towing capabilities of those snowcats!! Good stuff Casey!

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

You have to be careful with them, but they will get the job done. You really should winch the vehicle out in deep snow so you don't tear up a track or break a rear axle. Overall they are very reliable. Thiokol has some of the most sought after cats by far. Thanks Mark

[@hamiam2243]

That’s going to work out well ,good find.👍

[@jerrynielsen5014]

Loved the "rooster tails" coming off the tracks as you are cruising.

Love the screams and laughs had your bouncing around

[@blueman5924]

Gorgeous scenery with the snow ! Thanks for sharing the adventures. 🌲

[@charlesb4267]

How big of a pain is it to remove the fuel tank to really do a good flush and get out all the junk once and for all. You are so right, once a person has been used to using a nylon rope its painful to go back to a chain for that type of work even if its a steady pull as any slack that develops in the chain is oh so painful.

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

Ya we did get the tank cleaned out real good and hopefully we won't have any further problems. The chain didn't bother me much and the rope was froze in the 4 inches of ice in the back of the truck....so..... lol

[@charlesb4267]

@@CaseysOffRoadRecovery Good to hear you got the tank issue sorted out, I had a lot of struggles this summer from an old truck on the farm that had dyed farm gas used in for all those years and gas evaporated out of the tank over the years leaving such a mass of the most horrible crap, it coated the inside of the fuel lines and made it into the carb and plugged up a stupid mini screen they thought was a great idea to put in just before the float valve but only able to get at it by disassembling the carb !. Thought I would mention that in case your carb has something like that inside as well. As to the soaked frozen rope, I bet pulling hard on that would cause internal damage, can't see it being too good for a rope. At least for the most part you have decent weather in Hurricane and can thaw everything out "usually" !

[@mattc.310]

Cool little cruiser.

[@duggydo]

That's a cool little machine. I love the V4 engine too. It will save you some wear and tear on the Noddy.

[@BillSprague]

Your pup so much wants to add to the commentary! 😉

[@scottbobcat8450]

I really like the snowcat I'm quite confident that you'll figure out the few little things it needs it's going to make a great rescue and Recovery vehicle you have a lot of space in the back with the two bench seats to be able to rescue several people

[@goldviper5280]

The SnowCat looks like a lot of fun and very functional at pulling people out.

Best idea yet !!!

[@glennahoopes2895]

[@henrikmgeltoft7209]

The engineblock is from a Ford v6 used in among other things European Ford Capri, they chopped of two cylinders and made a v4 and used it as an industrial engine, Saab was looking for a replacement for their two-stroke engine and found this v4

[@dartmoordave]

Sadly, what was a reasonably well balanced v6 became a very unbalanced v4.

[@BWGPEI]

Too much fun there! Or that just me a sour grapes? South Western Ontario hasn't had enough snow yet for me to be having any real fun with it, but I am glad you have the opportunity.

[@lyndonhamby7432]

Good job Casey 👍👍

[@NameNaameNameeNaamee]

I'd line the inside of the snowcat with Armaflex (10mm should do the trick). That stuff is usually used to insulate boats, but I used it on my trailer and it's amazing how temperature stable that thing has become. It should also make that thing a LOT quieter. It's super easy to deploy, it comes with adhesive already in place. Just keep in mind that it's quite sensitive to physical abuse, so the ceiling and the upper walls are fine, everything you touch on a regular basis should get a cover of plywood or similar.

[@mrmoses2434]

Call it "Postman Cat". Not sure if Americans will get the reference. There's an old English cartoon called Postman Pat. Your cat kinda reminds me of his van. Also consider adopting a black and white cat to take on recoveries 😆.

Was a little bit worried about the 🐶🐕 dogs running behind the snowcat... Anyway, thanks Casey for taking us along for the ride...👍

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

Those dogs have all been chased by vehicles, cows, horses, mules and a Mountain Lion. They usually stay out of trouble and out of the way. You sure wouldn't want to let a city apartment dog out in a situation like this. When dogs are exposed to equipment, vehicles, animals from day one they tend to stay out of the way. Most dogs would die to live a life like my dogs are living! I would much rather expose them to risk that to lock em in a kennel, apartment or a backyard.

[@Dsdcain]

Thanks for posting all those "Purty" landscape shots. 👍 Oh yeah the recovery part was cool too. Take it easy man, and stay safe out there. 😎

Back in the 80’s I worked on one the looked like yours. It had a Wisconsin 4 cylinder. The problem with that one was the pet cock on the fuel tank. It was corroded. Replaced it with hose fitting.

A beautiful day in the mountains!! Thanks for sharing!! The engine in the Snow Cat i compatible with with most all parts for the SAAB V4 that was used up to early 1980's. Parts are readily availble at least here in Scandinavia. Souds good, that small V4!! Best regards from Norway!

[@brucemitch928]

Don’t want to be a doom n gloom merchant but we never had any luck with that V4 Ford. I worked for a Ford dealer 1976/88 and there was a never ending line of vehicles with the V4 that required engine work. Cylinder head gaskets, electrical gremlins/misfires, cracked exhaust manifolds, cooling and fuelling issues but the show stopper was the camshaft drive gear, it had bonded on nylon drive teeth running on the crank metal gear, the nylon teeth would strip off the cam gear, that kinda spoils your day. Think Ford did eventually updated to a all steel cam gear. Been a Ford man all my days but sorry to say I’d have no faith in that V4. Super video, that’s some office you work in.

[@parteibonza]

someone once told me "Towin's easy. Gettin towed is hard" This is an example of that. It must have been a pain in the ass holding the brakes and keeping the truck on the road WHILE going backwards.

A couple chains and an old tire work well in a pinch.
