SNOW MACHINES
CHAPTER #8

 
Tucker Sno-Cat

Tucker’s Motto=No snow too deep, no road too steep
One of the best machines for our area,
was the Tucker built in Medford Oregon. 
 Equipped with 4 floating pontoon track assemblies,
and a Chrysler 318 engine these things would  go just about anywhere. 
  Only draw back was the high center of gravity, and smaller cabin. 
They were a little shy on deck space also.

The machine above is equipped with a chrysler 318 V8
mounted over the front tracks
This is the style of Tucker I used
in the late 70's and early 80's
4 person cab, 4 speed manual transmission
and hydraulic steering wheel
Great comfort, and fast speed!
These babies were nice machines.

This new machine is equipped with a diesel engine
mounted in the rear
I believe this is a series 2000 machine
