Whoa! Is that an Ohara Caliber there in the bacK? Not sure I've ever seen an Ohara machine actually in service here in the states!

Well, at least we know they've made one sale!

How would you like to groom with this for a season. Pulling a drag behind you. Mogul Planner was nice to run behind this. Then go put on a Powdermaker. It was real fun when you lost a drive shaft. They were a good climbing tractor. Not much for heat and needed 40 acres to turn around.

Early in my dad's ski industry career, he spent some time in an early 60s Tucker with a gas engine with a 3-speed manual, plus original steel tracks as pictured on this machine (the small pic above):

I'm digging the old cat pics, the Tucker especially. I think driving one of those would be awesome; a REAL challenge...and maybe a little scary too -keep you on your toes for sure. I like the history, and that it's different. I don't have any old or different cat pics to post, but here is one of our two BR500's, straddling one of our BR350's. Yes, that is actually a BR350 in the middle, not a BR180.

That's weird. One of my 500's is missing. Where did my other 500 go? :D

EDIT: Had to resize the pic to get it to fit. The 500's were TOO BIG!! lol.
