John DeLorean made some money off those DMC snowcats. Made them in Ogden Utah, they were not cheap $250k. 1970 $. Sold it to finance his car. Great riding cats, had a suspension system, rode better then the Bombadier we had. Unfortunately the DMC was not as reliable as the Bombadier.
Thanks
When one track spins brake it and spin the left track . And Repeat
when one track spins use the other .
👍🏻
Hey, I helped build that machine! I worked at LMC (DMC) in Logan Utah for 14 years and loved every minute.
Sweet...
I'm in process of rebuilding/restoring this thing right now, hoping to have it done in about a month. I've gone with all aluminum top cabs, sorta like the 1500 style of the front cab
Up onto the Mountain in Snow I went
Got the Truck Stuck as far as I could go
Yes In a Blinding Blizzard I was so sent
Unloaded DMC Snow Cat I went slow
Repaired a Transmitter the night I spent.
👏👏👍🏻👏👏
Snow cat can go anywhere Eh? You fixed up,that track pretty quick .
Yeah, with right tools any repair is simple, just matter of time. Cats go places where most vehicle couldn’t
I'd love to own one of them, been fascinated with them since I was a kid. Have fun with that thing!
they are great... :)
First thing you should have did was remove that backup alarm😂
😂😂😂🤦♂️
Nice video, beautifil places. Waiting for more videos!!! Thanks
its coming, just got to finalize some editing...
We even dropped it in a slough, chasing coyotes
🤣😉😉😉
Был у меня СХМ-8 Ямал (он в ютюбе - "вездеход Ямал на снежных просторах и оврагах"). Зимой во время покатушек порвал гусеницу не доезжая до своей базы пару километров. Снега в тот год было много. Вечерело. Тащить было нечем, тк на базе и в ближайшей деревне гусеничного трактора не было. Поэтому возможен был только ремонт на месте. Стяжкой стянул место разрыва гусеницы (стяжки от фуры. 2 шт х 10 т. всегда возил с собой). С собой так же был трос-синтетика диаметром примерно 12 мм., метров 50. Этим тросом и сшил гусеницы (как ткань сшивают стежками ниткой). Продевал, стягивал и сшивал с большим запасом по длине гусеницы. На "додуматься и сшить" ушло минут 30. На "сшитой" гусянке добрался до места за светло без проблем. Рваная гусеница чуть позже была снята и пошла в ремонт.
отличное решение... главное чтоб было из чего под рукой! :)
Hey! Old Delorean (DMC) put a lot of paint on those 1450's. Hit that old cat with some rubbing compound and wax and it'll shine right up! Nice Video !!
LOL,, I guess so, its cracking up and chipping away... :)
Thanks for watching...
How often do the belts rip? Would be cool to watch a vid of the repair. I will check your other vids. Sweet ride!
They rip as often as they want to, but its preventable with better care during turns and proper preventative maintenance
As always, nice video. Very interesting to watch. Why so short?
Can't wait man, love these videos!
Just got to process all of the recordings... :)
budnixon I'm sure, I applied for some jobs with the US Forest Service in Oregon and Idaho and I can't wait. Im ordering a RTT from CVT for my 98 XJ and can't wait to make trips and record.
Классные видео у вас. Хорошо говорящий по-англиски русский на это всегда приятно смотреть.
Благодарю
That use to be my company snow cat, I’ve spent hours in that machine
Nice...
Watch through other videos on my channel... its been long since it was restofabbed and dont look anything like that anymore... Lives on Mt. Shasta now days by a nice cabin :)
@@budnixon it’s too bad, I tried to find who bought it because we had a bunch of extra new parts and very manual for the machine. Of course they’ve been all thrown away. I’ll keep watching
Sergejs Rubcovs
Most guys asked to make it shorter, so its simpler to watch... Plus wanted to divide this into few series rather than one long 2hr video...
Love it Nik!
Thanks,
Its coming along w/few more trips & fab works in the summer, than I'll need that tent probably... :)
Bro my uncle has the same snow cat except with a few modifications
They are cool machines
I was going to say I bet you didn't bring anything with you. Should have a repair kit on hand at all times
this was to be a trail break type trip, no gear carried, fly-on-the-go; in & out so to speak...
Its not very "deep" into the woods, so its okay...
О КЛАССНО давай еще отдыхаете мы за вас порадуемся
:) как то так... спс
Hi there. I have a similar snowcat (1980 Thiokol Super Imp). The grousers/cleats on your tracks seem to be a lot taller than on my tracks. Mine suck up the hills on our property in the mountains... I have seen in your other snowcat videos that you seem to be a DIY-er... Do you have any tip on how to make cleats yourself, or where to buy grousers cheap...? Called a couple of places, but they are charging 12-14,000 for just the cleats..
+Back to Nature Living with snowcats you got 2 options - learn how make all those things yourself, or pay someone else for it (which option is a matter of how deep the pocket is and how much time you have)...
Grousers are different on even same machines, since they get used differently on different type of terrain.
Its all about fitting to one's need.
Cheers
budnixon
Ok, looking into the DIY option. Thanks.
+Back to Nature Living visit ForumsForums website, there is a snowcat section, anda lot of helpful advise!
budnixon
Cool. I will check it out. Thanks for your help. I have seen ForumForums on some places, but did not really realize what it was :-)
+Back to Nature Living great community of "everything"
great machine, no snow here nor mountains unfortunately
we get it sometimes
I love watching the camaraderie
love this vid. what kind of engine is that?
Ford industrial inline 6
Did you say "Tacoma"?
T A C O ;)
Where can I find a 1404 or 1450?
I’m got my Argo Centaur on sale
your snow vehicle unable to get up the hill because the under carraige is too low and hits the deep snow
Nice vid.
Thanks for watching...
Love it
Thanks.
Where can I find a 1404 or 1450? Great videos!
I’m got my Argo Centaur on sale
@@budnixon Do you know of any thiokol 1404 or 1450s for sale?
@@anderson5562 No, but my Centaur thats for sale is a much better machine with a better power plant, see other videos
@@budnixon Do you have it listed? Where? How much?
Salem Oregon Craigslist, look for Argo Centaur
Классный аппарат,движок дизель?
спс... линейная 6ка бензо
@@budnixon по звуку дизель напоминает,классный аппарат всеравно
did you pic it up at the jamboree!
no, this is from someone else
I don't see any antennas...sat phone on board ?
Whats the need/purpose for it? Are you talking about communications with "world" in case something happens?
budnixon
I was on a team that ran path profiles for LOS microwave shots between Anchorage and Fairbanks., and spent quite a few hours in them little machines...
things happen. We were always ready for at least spending one night in the cold, but we had HF/SSB.
Most of us were out of shape techs and engineers...Humping 50 miles in knee deep snow , we would never have made it .
But probably your just off the roads close to a cell so there is no need for that type of safety margin.
nice video....
cdfgh1111
That is correct, mostly its a walking distance to the tow rig (under 10 miles) and our weather conditions arent exactly harsh like Alaska...
Thanks for understanding - most people just think its stupid without thinking it through... :)
can you not apply brakes to make the tracks both work. my track-machine both tracks drive all the time tell you turn and then it releases by means of clutch and brakes.but yours is nice and has more room and power. it will be like new when your done with it no doubt.
Its either way, that driver controls it... Techniques I've used were specific in order to break the trail and make it more level for the following snow storm & 4x4s to follow in
Good ratrack?
Мне нравится
Какой смысл в траках вразбежку, длина разная в смысле,через один?
если честно не совсем понял вопроса!
budnixon По краю гусеницы смотришь один трак смещен в одну сторону следующий в другую. (Может траки у вас по другому называются,короче про сами железные снегозацепы)
mihas
ааа... если честно не знаю почему именно так, но на ратраках часто это встречается; хотя многие и в ровень идут на всю ленту. По большому счёту думаю так меньше веса и материала уходит
Давно смотрю гадаю, думал мож знаешь ответ ) По весу.да один вариант
Privet.
Zdaroff
I want one
Gotta find one...
I've been trying there's a none where I live that we could afford
Cats are much more scarce and be ready to fork out a lot for a junker nowadays
We used to live in Buffalo New York and my dad had one I think it was from the '70s and he says he only paid like $2,000 for it and it was in great condition
Finley Parker back in the days there were more of them
It almost seems like your jeep could do the same stuff??
Almost... yet this thing just gets you there no matter what
Do you really think a jeep can go where this does? Doubt it!
Mike Brown
Mike,,, it all depends on how the Jeep is built, and whos driving it... :)
Yes your right I thought about it after watching another of your vid's!Nik thank you sooo much, you dont realize how much you have helped me!
Mike Brown
Not sure how /which way I've helped, but glad I did.
Fajn 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃🔧
Какой то он плохо проходимый для гусеничного вездехода.
как есть... но я так же далек от "профи" за рулем подобной техники... учимся
Thats dangerous. Close that door
Thanks for caring… ;)
@@budnixon Still trying to get over what happened to Jeremy Renner. Still doesnt make sense to me. PistenBully snow cat supposedly 1433 lbs. (I dont believe that weight but what do I know Im no expert)
Also it looked like you coulda tipped over a few times there coming out of those streams. Some other CZcamsr who does snowcat vids said about the Renner situation that 'thats sounds impossible' (regarding it running him over or rolling) but I dunno. Also dont put any dogs in your snow cat. Ive heard stories of them accidentally hitting the brake lever and the cat running over the owner when the were outside it.
stay safe
it happens... accidents, but always try to exercise best common sense possible...
А такой получится сделать? czcams.com/video/JLnSlJVAsvU/video.html
на по воде и болотам ходить не приходится... плюс грузоподъемность не та... :) А так аппарат этот видел - генеальная конструкция для скаута...
Да, техника потрясающая, я когда первй раз увидел, был в удивлен... Да что там удивлен, я просто обалдел. На рыбалку на таком ездить по последнему льду супер.
junk without enough ground clearance
+ABC ABC in reference to what is that comment?
