I've had a couple of similar machines in the past, just picked this one up a couple of weeks ago. 1976 tucker sno cat with a 3.53 detroit diesel engine, 5 spd manual trans. I've been tinkering with it off an on when time permits. Split the tracks for idler wheel bearing service, grease the carriers, change oit oils in the axles, transfer case, engine... fuel filters, some fuel line work... More work to do but I've got it running and functioning pretty well.
The detroit diesels were stout, dependible units. 2 stroke diesel engines that used a roots style blower to evacuate exhaust from the engine (scavanging effect). This one is a 3 cylinder, 53 cubes per cylinder.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
Send it over. My house is right up against the north facing mountain and is always late to thaw. Neighbors across the holler are having a cookout and I'm still snowed in.

Also, I'm not familiar with a "roots style blower."
Is it kinda like this?

There sure are a lot of America haters that want to live here...
