abn deuce

do you still have the two christmas poems you posted last november ?

uts christmas day , all is secure and the other A different christmas poem? i tried the search but nothing came up

I took the photo at the portsmouth southsea D-day event in June 1989 . I have posted more photo's from that trip on a thread I think by the same title , I think others had made some comments about it . Thats all I know of it .

Thanks for the reply , The chains I was referring to are the large bicycle type on either side in the front engine bay area . I wish those snowtracs were still being made and sold here as they are more practical than an open snowmobile , I like snow but dont want to be OUT in it lol

I had a couple of questions about the snow trac's , What are the items mounted on the front fenders of the trac's , are they patches for the track? How many people can the trac carry ? Since these units use Volkswagen air cooled engines and I have had a Bug so I know the heat out put isn't great ..... do they add any other heating system as in electric or tap into the engine oil to keep the cab toasty . Is there an automatic oiling system for the drive chains or simply oil before each use ?
