I'd certainly like to see photos though.
Steve will doubtless point you at the M29C.com forum, and I have the Classic Sno-Cat Forum, at least a couple of places to look for someone to give it a good home. Gordon

Thanks for the encouragement...will give it a try sometime as i have had no luck so far in posting pics. This is just the larger version of the other Canadian aluminum bodied machines. Was advertised at Levy's 30 years ago for $7500 and nobody was interested. It was scheduled to be flattened for its aluminium value. Has DC3 type cargo doors on both sides, flat front ) a Canadian trait like a 13 cab - sort of) and a large red maple leaf painted on either side. Also has the military marking of the era something like 53- XXXX

If my aging memory works I remember seeing that beast a few years ago.... she is a beauty...... big but very nice....... would be worth saving.....
Bob can fill in the details. Bob PS...playing with ACDC..... shocks look like civvy P/U truck shocks ... maybe even M37 shocks.... tracks must have been 18 to 20 inches wide..... double sprocket in front..... could not read the small tire size..... driven from the front sprocket... engine must be located midship or back two thirds for balance. ....would not take much to haul that to the barn.....hihihi

Thanks Bob for posting that picture. This creature has a rear mounted FAGEOL bus engine, aluminium block, 6 cylinder inline with an overhead cam and an ignition system that appears identical to a2.5 ton G749 GMC. Track was about 2.5 to 3 feet wide, just flat belting with aluminium cleats bolted across it. I got several boxes of spares with it including new track hardware. Transmission is midship - again an unusual English automatic transmission with airshifters on the controls, controlled diff up front. It has a double set of upright tillers for steering / maybe brakes? Inside lined with plywood in robins egg blue. Very calming! Tires are just implement type tires. It got pushed and pulled around the yard at Levy's until they went broke and then it was heading for scrap- but it was running and like new when they got it!

Fageol engines..... 6 cylinders.... were used by Twin Coach and used by the Winnipeg transit in early 50s...... the engine is referred to as a Hall Scott engine (gas, propane,diesel)
One of the Fageol owner was a racing boat ut and raced a 404 c.i. 6 cylinder rated at 275 HP...... .... and the Fageol history is intertwined with Peterbilt trucks...... Fageol trucks were also optionaly equipped with International and Waukesah engines over the years. ...wonder if it fits in the barn doors....... now where is my chain saw....?? ....Rob and Grant are going to kill me...... Bob
