I found two more ex-USAF Tuckers recently. They're for sale and the guy wants a very fair price for them. I'm a little cash-poor at the moment (just bought a restored '50s johnnypopper), but hope to add at least one of them to the squadron soon. [thumbzup] I'll put pictures in the MV spotted...

While cleaning up my computer, found an old picture of a mustache on a Mona Lisa...:roll:

The Tucker Co just sent me these pictures of their latest delivery to Fairchild AFB. Not my color, and military markings not yet applied, but you O.D. types might approve.

I just asked the Tucker company through their website about Tuckers sold to the military, and got a pretty quick response... Still gotta find one with military markings...

As far as I know the Torpedo never saw military duty, but until last week I had no idea ANY Tuckers saw military duty. So I've spent a little bit of time over the last week looking for more military Tuckers. No luck yet, but I know it can be a challenge even finding a civvy version of one of...

Although Tucker Sno-Cats are pretty amazing, there are some obstacles that can be a bit of a challenge.

Here is a Tucker Torpedo, of the sno-cat variety, that is currently being restored in the UP, and what it should look like after restoration.

While I'm sure this would do fine in mud, I wouldn't recommend it only because the roller bearings would be a pain to maintain. Instead, try a Thiokol that was designed to be all-season. There are quite a few former USAF Thiokols out there, and maybe even a few Army/Navy rigs. The most popular...

Ha! You again! :lol: Too bad there's no real snow in MO.

No, completely unrelated, at least as far as two people with the same last name can be unrelated. E. M. Tucker, Sr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_Sno-Cat I assume by pure coincidence, they both produced a model called the 'Tucker Torpedo'.

Brainerd, MN, www.mn-outdoors.com. He currently has about 6 military snowcats and a couple of S250 shelters, maybe even a mil gen light set or two. If you contact him, make sure he remembers that I have first dibs on all USAF snowcats. :mrgreen: And not military, but if you're in MN, how did...

I had a nice surprise last week. While looking over the inventory of military snowcats, comm shelters, etc of a highly respected snowcat dealer/restorer in MN (he told me to say that), I stumbled across this little gem. I had no idea Tucker produced snowcats ('Sno-Cats' in Tuckereese) for the...
