Oh boy. With both you and Matt working on tracked recovery vehicles, I smell a collab coming up this winter! 😊
Winter off road wrecker games
@johnmoore1025 my thoughts exactly in desser
@jeremyhanna3852 just waiting on fab rat's to get a snow cat
Don’t forget, Robby had one to
@@brianwaldroff4125 I was thinking the same, "Kitty ", just need Paul and Rory to get one now.
That machine probably could tell some cool stories about it's past recoveries. It's going to be fun seeing it in action once you get her going again.
This is hands down going to be the coolest snowcat on YT. Maybe Matt will start hosting a winter tow truck olympics, I mean games, so you can dominate with that beautiful beast
I couldn’t agree more!
That Tucker is the coolest snow cat of any of the channels. Old school cool!!
What I think is cool is it's gonna be a true working machine not some content creating machine!
@MrDan1509 Umm, you do realize this is a LUBETUBE channel & without CONTENT it is NOTHING. Everything they do is content. 🤡
I like to use a propane torch with the tip removed, and a long rubber hose to keep engines running while trying to start them
That thing is too cool! Imagine if you had this back in the day when you recovered that S10 that was stuck in the snow for three years.
On a side note: You should try to hook up with Holley and put EFI on that thing. They seem to help out a lot of TH-cam channels so you never know, can’t hurt to try.
Lol....my "new" daily driver is a 1982 blazer k5....carbureted!!! I got it because there's no computers AND no fi....but to each their own

rebuild the carb and swap points for aftermarket ignition module(something like pertronix), carry a spare sealed in bag inside ammo box. if you're really worried, carry points, condenser, cap, rotor, wires and plugs also.
that's what we did for trail/right of way riding in West Virginia(mostly all vw powered rail buggies). sold and changed points, electronic kit, cap/rotor, wire and plug spares to someone on the trails a handful of times. never had any go bad on our own, but people there always needed something and we always helped to keep the fun going, when possible. 😁
That is one kewl machine. Great to see Mara out and about and trying her best without hurting herself more to help you. I think she will understand that you NEED the parts to get it off the trailer safely.
All respect all she does is run her mouth to the old man people don't even watch know because of her.he built everything from a,old toe truck and his skills.
Your calculations carried forward with the 6240 LB curb weight is about 1 PSI empty and with a 1,600 LB payload makes your ground pressure total 1.26PSI. Pretty impressive.
I could tell it was a Chrysler engine by the sound of the starter. Can’t wait to see it in action this winter. Matt’s Off Road Recovery eat you heart out 😮😂
Eric ,that snow cat is super cool and your going to have a lot of fun with that!! The type of recoveries that you will be capable of doing now will be awesome and really fun to watch. Once you get that 318 industrial tuned up it will be a very reliable old friend! Thanks for the fun video.
I'm sorry Recoveryteam, but now I'm wanting you all to get some good snow, just for my TH-cam viewing pleasure. 😂
Right 🎉😂😂
Find an old UPS truck, or potatochip truck with a 6BT Cummins and Allison automatic.
Use the 318 for a boat anchor, or at the bottom of a hole for fill.
The Tucker is an A#1 addition to the team !!
Good to see Mara in the videos, and happy you have steady help with camera duties!!
Thank you ALL for sharing the adventures !!
I'm surprised that mid 60's 1 ton GMC dump truck didn't jump on the trailer for the ride home!
Looks handier than a shirt pocket!
Well, you have to replace the carb and fix the clutch to get it off the trailer because you want to have the trailer available if you need it. She should agree with that.
Thanks for the update on your snow cat Eric well done getting it home. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed ❤️❤️👍.
Those old Tuckers are something eles. I've been to their factory and the shop where they refurbish and restore old Sno-Cats. There is a big club in Idaho that has a get together. They run from Sun-Valley over to McCall.
I am so excited for your business to have this piece of equipment! This makes most of the other channel's track vehicles look like kid's toys! Now I can't wait for winter to see this machine in action.
That Tucker will make jobs like the swamp S10 and winter recoveries easy peasy
That Tucker has cool written all over it !
Watching you guys recover all the way from Guam
The snowmobile tracks on the trailer is a Great idea.Muddy tires could grip too.
As for a name,as mentioned below; "TRACTION". Tracks,and action.
Ha. My father repurposed old snowmobile tracks onto the deck of his trailer in the early 70’s for the very same reason. Made a big difference especially when there was ice.
That is one cool rig. Can’t wait to see it work.
Love those old Mopar 318
This is going to be quite the recovery vehicle.💪👍👍
Served in Army with a guy from up your way. Really good people. Always enjoy watching. Form California.
Eric i am looking forward to seeing build videos on Seat Covers Truck and the new Snow Cat wrecker. At this rate you may need to add people to the team with the fleet of recovery vehicles you have now
That thing is sweet! Gonna be fun to see it in action.
Ah good ole Amazon! Making that cat roll again! Can"t wait to see it running!
Looks as if they made them really easy to work on! Lol you should see if you can find some old 3 or 4 ply conveyor belt would work well for the tracks!
You actually still see quite a few of those sitting around over here in the upper peninsula. I know our local towing service has a 4 door tucker they use for recoveries in the winter.
Very cool! You'll love it! Hopefully we have another 7' snowfall total again next year!!!
🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
Eric, cool rig, I just want to give you food for thought, since you're not in a rush the Carter 2 bbl carb is super simple to work on. I have no doubt that you could rebuild it, good luck!
Wow, I love that thing. When you get all the wrinkles ironed out she is going to be a beast.
Thanks for the walk around. Shows why it doesn't like going over logs. The tracks are welded right to the axles, so you have to twist the leaf-springs to angle the track up and over a log. Fixing that will be a bit of a head-scratcher to figure out the right link and strut config. (if it's even worth fixing?)
recoveryteam, Thats one cool looking SnowCat. Needs a LS. I do like how the Radiator in upfront Hope Ya are All Well. God Bless
I'm happy for ya Eric that's a great find can't wait to see it in action for the winter runs.
That's crazy, the snowcat has the same engine as my 1995 Ram! Very reliable and easy to take care of engine.
Medford Oregons Finest piece of Equipment Them Tuckers Were Tough! Glad to See it in one well almost one Piece Eric
Hey Eric you get that thing colored up in bsf recovery garb and you will have the coolest snow cat on TH-cam brother 😎 that thing will be bad to take bone awesome
I definitely see a need for this! My Ex's eldest lives 100-ish south of you in Osseo, I94 & US10. ( NORSKE NOOK! ) I lived there 90-91, escaping west to Denver after 3 weeks of below zero for the high. Now playing around Las Vegas.
Ok, I really dig this Tucker Snow Cat. Glad to see it running. I had a 68 Dodge pie pan Dodge van that had a 318 in it... should have kept it.
It seems like you have a great base to start with. The 318 is a good basic reliable motor. Master cylinders, possible slaves are going to be simple. The track belt’s just seem to be the most effort and biggest hit to wallet. That is what it looks like from 2500 miles away!
Oh you know that's definitely getting a small block Chevy or an LS swap.
@@chaddesantis4191 if it runs without rod/lifter knock and burns little oil. just rebuild the carb and slap in aftermarket electronic ignition conversion(pertronix or similar). keep it simple :)
@@throttlebottle5906 just calling the shot before it happens. When a hard core Chevy man buys a poorly running machine that's powered by something other than GM, and he's got his own junkyard full of GM, I'd say the likelihood of the tucker getting a GM powerplant is pretty high.
You will like this one when winter arrives. Bud Nixon from Oergon uses on for fun. From what knew of the old ones used for trail groomers, neglect was their biggest problem. They let them sit for 8 months of the year and then hopped in and expected them to go, of course most everything was volunteer in those days. Maybe the oil was changed. I doubt if they were greased regularly. That aside they still did the job which meant they ran for almost 24 hours each time because they are not fast. They sort of remind me of the Model T with tracks.
You should challenge Matt and the boys on a snow cat tow truck games in your backyard
You're the best. Looks like you're going to set yourself up for All seasons which is wonderful to watch . You should take care of that wife first wives always come first the matter what God bless take care.
Awesome can't wait to see it out in the woods doing recoveries.
That will make a good snowplow for the place as well
At first with the backfiring out the carb I figured it had one or more sticky intake valves, but they should free up the more you run it. The original carb is a Carter BBD, it can easily be rebuilt and put on the shelf as a spare.
99% chance the accelerator pump is near zero output, which will make for endless lean out backfires on throttle presses.
What a cool machine, can’t wait to see it finished and working
Can't wait til snow comes back around...😏
That Chevy wagon looked awesome, nice build!
Your idea of snowmobile tracks works great, I have seen it used often here in Northern Alberta where they use all sorts of track units for swamp and ice areas. I think this will be a.highly used unit in the winter once you get it going and set up. ❤❤❤❤
This going to be an awesome build! I’m glad you found this and are going to use it again as a wrecker. Do you have a name picked out?
Not yet, ideas welcome
Something simple,and obvious,would be just "TRACTION". Tracks,and action.
"creeper"
Edit: referring to the name for the tucker
@@offroadrecoveryteam Chitty-Chitty Bang Bang.
Freaking score man! Im happy for you. Seat cover won't let you forget about hers though, watch.
Nice add on to the team....... Great barn find Eric..
Man what a beast that thing is wow killer wrecker
I love the Tucker. Looking forward to seeing it do some work.
This is the coolest rig ever way better than everyone else
Wow that's an awesome machine. Congrats on the find.from Quebec Canada
This is a very cool addition to the bsf fleet👍👍
That's a cool looking snow cat! I can't wait to see it out on recoveries.
Love that old GMC dump in the background at 11:19.
Me too !!!
Cute as a bug's ear !!!!
Always hit the like button in the beginning, enjoy the ride alongs on your adventures,just have the mosiqtoes and a couple dragonflys take it back to the shop, great video
That thing looks soo cool... cant wait to se it fixed up and in action...
Front and rear hydraulics? You can mount a plow to it; which will take some strain off of the Plow Truck, especially in the deep snow! Very cool rig!
What a great addition to BSF recovery team. Sure would like to find one of those Sno Cats! Dang , sure wished I was closer I could help you out with the rubber belting. I have about 40 ft of barge belt I could have gave you.
Seatcover has to get fully recovered 1st anyway. We want her in prime fightin form when she is ready! Looks like a great addition to the fleet
That old snow cat is going to be just the ticket for some of those winter woods recoveries!!! Don't worry Eric, I won't say a word to "Seat cover"! LOL!! I'm looking forward to her truck build AND now, the snow cat project!!!
This will be an awesome rig.
must have a real good starter in it
Wow all them west coast off road tow guys are goin to be jellyfish for sure..😂😂😂😂..🎉🎉🎉..cheers
jellyfish
@tyendor503 yea jellyfish..there goop in my cowboy boots...haha
I think you win the snow crawler prize for this gem. Should be a good addition to the fleet once it's operational. I'll bet that cat has seen some stuff in its time.
its a 318, it'll run forever. I bet a master cyl rebuild kit would fix it right up.
That boy is bad. I’m excited to see this in action.
Great find Eric👍
That will make a good addition to your fleet
Eric, this looks like some interesting videos for the future for sure . Thanks for sharing and stay safe 👍
Now you need a loading ramp on your property, keep it safe
Man this is so cool definitely top contender for coolest recovery Vechile on the tube love the stacks please keep them 🇺🇸👍
That's a cool tow truck make a great addition to your fleet
A little strange seeing a video of my neighbor’s place. I’m glad the snow cat found a good home.
Cool find. Can't wait to see you use it.
Nice find and addition to fleet!
Sounds like an old 318, those motors are beast
Great video and great job with the snow cat and stay safe and God bless from GA
Sweet looking machine
Matt was right, those Tuckers do look cool
Cool bit of kit Eric
Thanks for sharing 👍😀
Eric, your skills are amazing
Great find.With the amount of bite those tracks have she ll have a lot of grip to haul stuck vehicles.....
I love it, what a beast 👍
Lots of people install a HEI dist or remove Chrysler box and simply use the HEI 4 pin module
Good job 😊. Oh no. Mara is going to kick your butt. She’s comes first before snowcat. 😂😂
SWEET!!
Love Tuckers.
Good to see you again you two keep up the good work your videos are very great
Its amazing that there is that many grown men standing around and not one has the for thought to wack the carb with something to get the floats from sticking and flooding the engine.
I was waiting for Mira to pop up at the end saying, I don't think so.
Then ok fix to get off trailer & thats it.
Lol
For the track you might want to look for a conveyor beltand then add the metal pieces to the belt to make your tracks
That other truck won't really expand any of your capabilities, it's just going to give you more of the same, but if you spend this summer fixing and modifying the snow-cat, then this fall there won't be anywhere you can't go,😉👍, thanks for sharing.
