At about 1400EST tomorrow I will begin driving my new deuce from a friends place in southern NY to my place in northern NH. In order to do this I had to just drop everything at work and will have to pay for it later, but I've got to get this move done ASAP. Being unfamiliar with the truck, I...

And this looks like the simplest configuration and cable list:

Pinouts for the two cables you mentioned:

Yes, and dunno. If you find a (reasonably priced) source, lemme know. Here is the complete VIC-3 cable list from the maintenance manual (can't find the -10) that I have just downloaded: A3206017 Power Cable A3206018 Highway Cable A3206019 Radio Cable A3206020 Bailout Cable A3206021 Alarm...

And here's this page with me at the controls... (yes, I know, I'm in deep kimchi) :oops:

The Tucker Co just sent me these pictures of their latest delivery to Fairchild AFB. Not my color, and military markings not yet applied, but you O.D. types might approve.

I just asked the Tucker company through their website about Tuckers sold to the military, and got a pretty quick response... Still gotta find one with military markings...

As far as I know the Torpedo never saw military duty, but until last week I had no idea ANY Tuckers saw military duty. So I've spent a little bit of time over the last week looking for more military Tuckers. No luck yet, but I know it can be a challenge even finding a civvy version of one of...

Although Tucker Sno-Cats are pretty amazing, there are some obstacles that can be a bit of a challenge.

Here is a Tucker Torpedo, of the sno-cat variety, that is currently being restored in the UP, and what it should look like after restoration.

While I'm sure this would do fine in mud, I wouldn't recommend it only because the roller bearings would be a pain to maintain. Instead, try a Thiokol that was designed to be all-season. There are quite a few former USAF Thiokols out there, and maybe even a few Army/Navy rigs. The most popular...

Agreed. Very nice guy and passionate about his mogs. [thumbzup]

Ha! You again! :lol: Too bad there's no real snow in MO.

No, completely unrelated, at least as far as two people with the same last name can be unrelated. E. M. Tucker, Sr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_Sno-Cat I assume by pure coincidence, they both produced a model called the 'Tucker Torpedo'.

Brainerd, MN, www.mn-outdoors.com. He currently has about 6 military snowcats and a couple of S250 shelters, maybe even a mil gen light set or two. If you contact him, make sure he remembers that I have first dibs on all USAF snowcats. :mrgreen: And not military, but if you're in MN, how did...

Just last week I found another '50s USAF ahh... off-road vehicle ...with the same registration number scheme, but with a 'J-'. See here...

I had a nice surprise last week. While looking over the inventory of military snowcats, comm shelters, etc of a highly respected snowcat dealer/restorer in MN (he told me to say that), I stumbled across this little gem. I had no idea Tucker produced snowcats ('Sno-Cats' in Tuckereese) for the...

I haven't taken delivery of my deuce yet, but someone had questioned what I could possibly do with such a truck. So I searched YouTube for possible answers, and here they are. If you see your truck in one of the videos, give a shout! Rock crawl Pull stumps Navigate muddy roads...
