David Herbert Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Does it still have its engine and transmission ? Is it for sale ? Where is it ? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 My son is doing a drainage job and in the middle of the bog that is the field is an ST4. Apparently it was abandoned there years ago when the fan belt broke whilst playing in the bog. Before you ask , no, the owner won't sell:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ucap Andy Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Rubbed mine down and given it a new coat of paint, black to add later. Also had some powder coating done, fixed the oil temp dipstick, renewed the rubber wing tops. Still a fair bit to do! Need hood sticks, light guards and back doors.

snowtracdave Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Two Snow Tracs for sale on E Bay at the moment - listed under other vehicles , one is definitely an ex military vehicle - you can see the lifting points on either side of the bonnet in the photo's . It also has a Land Rover hard top sitting on it - think that might let a bit of fresh air in ! . Its listed at 1250 but it now or offer & the seller is Mactrax sales. The second civilian one is up for 2750 , same seller . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowtracdave Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Two more ST's just come up for sale . A very nicely presented one on Milweb and a second one on E Bay in the other vehicles section . Had a lot of work done including conversion to diesel with a Golf engine . From the photo's the ebay one is definitely a civilian one , the milweb one I can't say for certain . Could be genuine ex services , could just have had an appropriate paint job . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew JWB Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 snowtracdave 10 Brigadier Dear Dave, Are you still on the topic of Snow Trac's? I thought you may be interested, I purchased an ST4 over a year ago, it was ex military, I believe it had been in the Falklands war! It is possibly the unit that is described with the Land Rover/ Ifor Williams back and Ford diesel conversion also with the lifting hooks etc. Although it is a runner I had to do a bit of work to it by replacing the glow plugs, tyres and bits and pieces. We have been using it the last few days to feed sheep in the deep snow from the "Beast from the East"! unfortunately one of the spring leafs has broken and destroyed the 400 x 4 tyres! not sure what went first, looks like I am going to have fun looking for replacement parts It would be great to hear back from you.

snowtracdave Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hi Andrew , interesting to hear about your ST . Not heard of many surviving Falklands ST's , if you can manage to post up a photograph or two it would be good to see . As you may have seen , I recently sold my vehicle after having owned it for over thirteen years . It was hard to see it go but I never used it as much as I intended and I needed the space and the funds for another project although , ironically , that too has had to be put on hold . The recent spell of weather has made me wonder if I did the right thing but we managed alright and I think the ST has gone to a good home as it is now in a private collection in Germany .

Andrew JWB Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hi Dave & BoBo, Sorry for the lack of replying, its been a bit manic after the Beast from the East struck this area. Great Picture BoBo, no midges up there I bet! As mentioned we managed to break a spring leaf and damage an idler wheel, I contacted Owen's springs to see if they can help me but they haven't come back to me yet. The machine has had a fair bit of alterations done to it, it has had the engine replaced with an 1800 Ford Fiesta/Escort Diesel engine, it has lots of torque and is easy to control. it also has a converted Ifor Williams metal hood on the back rather than the canvas sheeting. The electric cooling fan wasn't working so I have temporarily wired it direct so it is basically running all the time I have had the ST for over a year now and sadly haven't had as much time on it as planned (Story of most of us on here I guess!!)I have to get a few things repaired on it example put breaks on it! the old brake bands are pretty tired with a broken hand brake cable, I am thinking about replacing the brake bands with brake discs and pads it. I would like to replace all the 4.0x4 tyres with solid tyres, half of them are these already, one of the 600x10 rear tyres has a tractor tread type tyre on it, it appears to work ok but I am scared it will catch and break the metal track guides. My plan is to get it running well enough so we can use it when on hill fencing jobs, it will give my guys something to run tools, their lunch bags! and some lighter materials out to the fence line, it will also give them shelter when the weather turns rough, we are working on a hill job at the moment which is about 1500-2000 feet, I have an old Nissan Terrano with 90% off road tyres, you would be amazed where this thing goes! I will get some picture put up when I get a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
