HOLY CRAP!

What post-apocalyptic movie is that from?

The sci-fy channel could buy that and produce about 15 Saturday evening movies about it.

Classics I tell you, classics.

The thing looks pretty beat-up, but I'd drive it to work.

Fenway should buy it. Paint it black and put INGO on the side. Then name it the northern force. It will look great parked on the dock next to the ingo aircraft carrier, and the ingo Marauder.

OK looking at that, its an older model designed for use on snow. It, very likely, will not work well under any conditions if that is real steel plate. Looks like it might have been a movie prop, if so that might be something painted to look like aged/weathered steel pretending to be armor. But if it is real armor then that tired old Tucker better not go where it was originally designed to go because it will sink.

Realize these machines are designed to impart roughly 0.5 to 1.2 pounds per SQUARE FOOT of pressure on the ground. So they are designed to be very lightweight. My unit is so light it can be heli-transported by a modest size helicopter and lifted into mountain passes. Mine, being a narrow track machine, imparts just about 1 foot of pressure on the ground. The wide track version of my machine only puts 0.45# of pressure per square foot onto the ground and can glide over snow while mine will plow through light snow. This Tucker probably is putting 3 to 4 pounds of pressure per foot on the ground if that is steel plate. That added weight will cause it to sink in snow.

Further that track design is not a particularly good track, Tucker discontinued it many years ago and has gone to an all rubber track with greater flotation and greater ability to be used on a wider variety of surfaces.

The other factor is the old Chrysler engine that powers this thing. It is not designed to move around a heavy steel machine, I suspect that it is over worked, tired and will need to be replaced if this machine ever sees much use.

^ Killjoy.....

The rear-view mirror was a nice touch, though.

the small block chrysler doesnt scare me, they used those in plenty of industrial applications.

but everything else you said pretty much ruined my fun
