I'll be on the road for a few weeks, so until I get a chance to check mine, here is what the manual says... If you need anything else, member Boggie is an excellent source.

You will fix it, and love it, and care for it, and drive it around to the delight of family, friends, and neighbors. You will take it to military vehicle shows, trailer it in parades, volunteer it for SAR, pull stuck wheelers out of the muck, and, of course, wax it on Sundays. :whistle:

She's beautiful!! The reg# says it's a '61. Have a picture of the dataplate? Baddabing...http://goldcordmine.com/manuals/Thiokol%204T10/

Pictures, man, PICTURES!! :deadhorse: If the sheet metal is good, and the drivetrain is intact, but the tracks are garbage and the engine doesn't run, I'd shoot for 1-2K, and might end up at 3K. Pictures will help in guessing a value. I got mine for 1200.

Those are some beautifully blue bottle caps... :whistle:

Almost forgot. This cat came with a row of airline seats, the defunct Eastern Air Lines I think.

At a snowcat forum, found a link to this video. It's the Swamp Fox II test in Panama during the early '60s. A Thiokol 4T2 makes a regular appearance, never stuck, and frequently pulling out other vehicles. The cab as been mostly removed and a roll cage added. Without seeing the rear end, I ID'd...

Parked and tarped.

With the missing front wheel and axle, the cat just wouldn't roll off correctly.

Arrived in my secret desert location, but the struggle was not yet over. Made a wide arc in preparation to unload the cat, and got stuck in the sand. Multiple times. aua Hi-lift to the rescue. The smaller cut up track sections proved handy as well.

A picture of the area of the missing axle, and the barely still there existing axle. Full frontal nudity and a butt view...

A few en route pictures. First, City Market Starbucks in Moab, UT. The second snowcat you may notice is one of my Kristi snowcats that was also rescued from WARWAGs. About 800LBs of cut up track in the bed of the PU, and another 1200LBs in the 4T10. And Starbucks in Los Lunas, NM.

Two aching backs, one and a half extra days, one unplanned hotel room, and a few ounces of blood over budget, but got her home. Here is the rescue from WARWAGs snowcat graveyard. She has not weathered well the last few years. In that time she has lost several parts, including the right-front...

The 4T10 will be on the move next week. I head out on Tuesday morning from New Mexico to Nevada, and then return on Wednesday and possibly Thursday. A map of the route and a link to the KMZ below. The route. I will be in a mad rush to get out there, but it will be a slightly more leisurely...

Check your PMs for a lead to a Bombi. He has some military cats as well.

From my 601 thread...

It's called a Power Divider or Selector. It takes the power from the transmission and divides/splits it to two drive shafts, one for powering each track. One of the problems with a braking differential (like those on most non-hydraulic snowcats, old tractor crawlers, dozers, etc) is that when...

It just chafes my hide when the natural beauty of strata blue gets covered in garish orange, white ...or olive drab. aua

One posterior and a few interior...

Some eye candy from a partial teardown in 2010...
