It hurt just a little to watch you ripping on that old treasure! I've got 3 of them, 1 like this and 2 of the amphibious versions that can cross a lake. I use them to get through the swamps here in Alaska. I don't rip on mine like that! I treat them as gently as possible. There's a lot of expensive parts in that suspension, and a new set of tracks is just shy of $2500. No question, they are super fun, maneuverable, and will go almost anywhere. Thanks for putting one back into the public eye! So cool that 90k people have seen this in 8 hours. Few people even know what they are.
@@D2DAJIZZELLE they are the ultimate machine here where I live. Lots of them around here, all with tracks mounted. $40k is a more than I want to invest just to go mucking through the swamp. Last year a bunch of us made a run to a friend's cabin 6 miles out in the swamp for a BBQ. 5 tracked Argos and my little Marsh Model Trackster. I went everywhere they could go, but it was a workout for the little rig.
@@LandersWorkshop Unfortunately when we're in the deep muck we don't usually get out and film, we're too busy trying not to get stuck. Here's a cool little video of a bunch of Argos in the snow though, shot from my snowmachine. The ladies decided it would be fun to do a snow rodeo lol. th-cam.com/video/xp3ZjOHvlxY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=k2nnNz_dcBcB15Sr
Always an education with Billy! Over 70 years old and I've never heard or seen one of these! If I was younger I would have to have one. You could do some serious artifacts hunting with that! There would be no stopping you! Stay safe Billy!
You have introduced the ultimate vehicle to 'medical! A southern boys snow mobile-jet ski-tow truck-monster buggy- tractor-bass boat hybrid. Billy, you are genius!
Thank you for the laughs, sir. I always look forward to your one of a kind contraptions. Can't wait to see what you do with the 1974 Cushman Trackster.

The ex military in me, combined with the current machinist in me, wants to put on steel combat treads to replace the rubber treads, and see how it does. Betting it will roughen the ride a bit, but make climbing over things easier. Also, I as born in 72 and never saw one of those things. Remember 6 wheelers, but never a tracked ATV. Awesome find, Billy!!!!
Honestly, that thing is WAAAAAY cooler than a Ripsaw...mostly because the likelihood of killing yourself or causing massive property damage with it is roughly 1% that of the Ripsaw and you don't need a second mortgage to get one. Cushman's were made to work as well...so it should last another 50 years without much issue, just a little sand paper and primer each spring and some grease and oil every couple of seasons and she'll be fine
I feel like you could do a few simple mods to that a get a lot more power. Still won’t compare to a turbo diesel Ripsaw. Cool find though I’d cruise it around for sure.
We used one of these to get to deer camp and haul deer 20 years ago. They are unstoppable other than stumps. And LOUD was its only downfall. Ours had an air cooled 340 or 440 snowmobile engine, cant remember.
This was made in 1974?! Ive never seen/heard of them till now. It looks great! The design of the control mechanism is INGENIUS! They really knew how to make things back then.
I need me one of those😂. Ginger billy brings home a new toy every week or so, he gives his neighbors a show, what a great dude. He’s like A kid again in this machine 😂
Hell yeah, i got one of them, your never gonna get stuck in anything. Love my trackster and was so exited to see this, and your right itll leave your ears ringing
My five year old son is obsessed with you. We spend an hour just rewatching your videos at least three times a day. He's also obsessed with driving things... anything. And every time he sees this video, he has a fit. Cause he wants to drive and ride in that trackster.
My wife and I love to see you be happy and smile. You could have public auctions and make some coin on your former projects of Merican history. TRUCK GANG! :)
Remember the giant Belks catalog that came a few months before Christmas? I knew an old WWI vet who called it the wish and bet book. Wish you had it and bet you don't get it.
that is sweet ... i believe the exhaust should be upgraded along with the engine it's attached to. More power and faster is always better... Maybe a big track upgrade to really make it a mini Ripsaw
It’s not on high bro lol that’s literally on low throttle. When you turn the throttle up the cable is so tight that it doesn’t even actually go to full throttle.
Maybe some adjustments will help. Anyway idk if you seen my other comment, a pedal throttle would be awsome to have on there, I'm jealous. Well anyway ...Truck Gang!!!!
Wow! That's really 50 years old?!?!?!? Amazing! Never even seen one of those. I think you may have an antique worth keeping there. Maybe don't chop it up too much? 😂
Garage i worked at in HS/College 2000-2012 had a three wheeled kushman miniature truck big enough for one man, a customer left there before i worked there and never picked it up until the doors in that 80yr old shop closed for good. This is way cooler; and that was the most enjoyable job i ever had, good ol days.
Ginger billy you should buy one of those beer coolers that you can ride! My neighbor bought those on Facebook marketplace and know he is riding around my neighborhood having the time of his life 😂
My brother and I picked up our first Trackster in 1996 in Kenawick, WA. He now owns over 50 of them. He also supports them with parts and some services. You need the floating version.
Not only is the trackster cool af, and you made me laugh all the way through. But I can imagine now GingerBilly turning this bad boy into the worlds smallest tank.😂
Maybe you gave up too early on the car climb. Shoulda used your DOT approved wheel chocks to anchor the Festiver, then with that modified front end, ole Traxtor woulda clumb right on up. Keep on having fun!
The proud offspring of a mini tank and a 4x4 I want one!!! 😂 looks like a lot of fun! 😂 Climb over the spurit, think very doable with a little ramp to get over the bumper. Also, have the emergency breaks engaged plus blocks behind the wheels.
That thing is in great shape for being 50 years old, and with all of the standing platform space around the entire machine, there is room for another 8 or 9 more people.
Ginger Billy, this is the last one of your videos that my wife watched prior to her death. She thought this was super funny! Good job! Keep it up. You made her life better with your creativity and humor!
Being in the great white north I would love one of those to work/ play in the snow . I had bought a Tera jet they are like a Argo but only 4 wheels and 4x4 was fun but no suspension. so killer on the back. Had more fun fixing it all the time than driving it around the property. Sold it for what I had in it.

I'm 40 years old and grew up snowmobiling, riding 3 wheelers and dirt bikes.. and I've never even heard of this thing. Now I want one
how is it i live in arizona and ive seen these. lmao. the utlity uses em for power line maintenance. used too anyways.
I'm with you i didn't know this existed
Right? Im also in my 40s and never heard of one either. Pretty cool, man. Thing has massive torque.
I saw one in the bed a pickup in the 80s
Thats cool

Good one
Wouldn’t doubt it
Make this happen!

Stug lll
"This ain't a ripsaw, this is a jigsaw!"🤣
Billy you never let us down 🤣🤣🤣
Watching him can always make me laugh even on the worst day .
Yup he's brightening my day as well. He joy is contagious.

Them traxter’s are really cool, definitely don’t see them very often. Definitely a good score.
I feel like we need a wish tank just like a strait up m1 abrams made out of cardboard
Me too
Lmao
You see it coming too huh?
Shhhhh…don’t give away all my secrets
@GingerBilly what, if you get mad, you'll just make a cardboard killdozer instead, and thats still cool.
Ginger Billy always giving me the best laughs
Billy is my FAVORITE giant 10 year old on Earth! lol
A good start of the day
I could not imagine having a raging sunburn all the time. Cool ride!
You have introduced the ultimate vehicle to 'medical! A southern boys snow mobile-jet ski-tow truck-monster buggy- tractor-bass boat hybrid. Billy, you are genius!
Omg, ur comment is genius, lol!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Billy is excited over his new toy
I love that you bought this in my town. That looks like something they'd drive round here
Thank you for the laughs, sir. I always look forward to your one of a kind contraptions. Can't wait to see what you do with the 1974 Cushman Trackster.
pretty neat little ride! cant believe how GOOD of shape it's in!!
That thing is 3 years younger than me and looks to be in WAY better shape, lol.
😂😂😂
1970? Me too.
😅

That's what happens when you're not garage kept.
If I were Leia, I would forgive you IF I got to drive it on weekends lol... that girl really gets the purple heart lol Love you guys
Her life is very exciting with me in it 😂

@@GingerBilly No excuse not to get food/supplies if the road is too muddy or "gasp" a blizzard dumped 17 inches of snow.
From a non US stand point this is hilarious. Ginger billy is the most American, American ever. This guy is classic. Don’t you ever cancel this gem
There are some hilarious innovative characters hidden in the hills and mountains of the USA.
Build a plywood tank like structure to go on top and you can have your own Sherman tank!

he could go drive some crown vics
He follows me on IG but I never get invited to that stuff lol

Call out cleetus for a racing match.

Won't work.
That iss prolly the most bad ass thing Cushman Ever made. and Cushman has made alot of badass small machines. KEEP ROCKING BILLY!!!
The first 5 seconds in and I’m already cracking up 😂
This man is so funny definitely would hang out with him
Honestly, that thing is WAAAAAY cooler than a Ripsaw...mostly because the likelihood of killing yourself or causing massive property damage with it is roughly 1% that of the Ripsaw and you don't need a second mortgage to get one.

"In the pictures, it looked a lot bigger.
Put that in the list of things his wife told him
Lol, that's what she said! 😂😂😂
I feel like you could do a few simple mods to that a get a lot more power. Still won’t compare to a turbo diesel Ripsaw. Cool find though I’d cruise it around for sure.
Yeah, that won't compare to the Ripsaw, because how much more advanced it is than the Ripsaw 💪💪
If it had the power of a ripsaw, you’d only ride in it once, but it would be the best damn ride of your life cause it would definitely end.
The horizontal shafts stopped my hyabusa engine idea
@@GingerBillyturn the shaft into chain drive. Plenty of ag parts could go axle shaft u joints to smaller solid roller shaft then weld sprocket
I love all of your videos. Thanks for all the laughs 🤣🤣🤣
I remember those as a kid. All us boys wanted one SOOO bad.
Looks like Christmas came early for Billy
Too Cool. Bet that is a rare ride

Can’t wait to see what this turns into
Ginger Billy , you are a brilliant and funny comedian. Love ya man
My grandad had one of those. He was a rancher and used it around the property whenever he could keep it running.
OMG!😂 Billy's so happy riding his new toy! 😂❤
Im SHOCKED I WAS THINKING GINGER BILLY HAD GOTTEN A F 35 cuz we lost one
That's gotta be one of the coolest things . I am super jealous. Love the toys bro keep the laughs a coming

Ha I have a CF struck mini bull dozer from the early 60s. Its wicked fun to ride around
That's actually pretty bad ass, I don't think I've ever seen one of those
I ain't never seen 1
That Trackster has more horsepower than the Festiver...😂
My wife and I love to see you be happy and smile. You could have public auctions and make some coin on your former projects of Merican history. TRUCK GANG! :)
I’ll say that I appreciate the seatbelt speech. Just had a friend who lost her teenager from a side by side roll over.
Remember the giant Belks catalog that came a few months before Christmas? I knew an old WWI vet who called it the wish and bet book. Wish you had it and bet you don't get it.
You need to drive all over the woods in that Bigfooter costume and see if anyone else sees you driving it 😂😂😂😂.
You have the humor of a kid! A funny kid! I laugh a lot! Thank You for the gift of humor you are blessed with having!
Thanks for showing us the cool mini tank lol have a great day billy
that is sweet ... i believe the exhaust should be upgraded along with the engine it's attached to. More power and faster is always better... Maybe a big track upgrade to really make it a mini Ripsaw
We’re gonna def put some exhaust on it…probably silencers. Bc it is soooooo loud
Don't run that engine so high my man. That thing is sweet. It will also pull good for you
It’s not on high bro lol that’s literally on low throttle. When you turn the throttle up the cable is so tight that it doesn’t even actually go to full throttle.
Maybe some adjustments will help. Anyway idk if you seen my other comment, a pedal throttle would be awsome to have on there, I'm jealous. Well anyway ...Truck Gang!!!!
Nice to see Billy has built a garage to house all his cool inventions
Can anybody else tell how happy ol’ GB is with himself? Freakin’ awesome man!
Wow! That's really 50 years old?!?!?!? Amazing! Never even seen one of those. I think you may have an antique worth keeping there. Maybe don't chop it up too much? 😂
Now you need to put a Rotax or Harley-Davidson engine on it!

What an absolute beast of a machine! And the trackster is pretty awesome too

I want one!!! 😂 looks like a lot of fun! 😂
Climb over the spurit, think very doable with a little ramp to get over the bumper. Also, have the emergency breaks engaged plus blocks behind the wheels.
This guy is going to really build ripsaw body panels to make a mini ripsa. I know it! lol
Shout out to Cleetus was cool.. what a hell of a collaboration that would be hell yeah brother!
Dam I bought one 34 years ago wish I had never sold it good on you brother
Dang it's loud
😂 I love his videos
Now I want one of those damn things
Wow! That was impressive how nimble it is!
Its like a baby tank!
You could plow the snow out of your driveway quick!
if only it had a steerin wheel, pedals and a gearshift
Lol love it
That thing is in great shape for being 50 years old, and with all of the standing platform space around the entire machine, there is room for another 8 or 9 more people.
