I know how much work you did to that machine. That is a great deal for what you are selling. I can attest to the hours required to take these things apart and get the tracks right, and swap motors...

That is super impressive! Its hard enough to rebuild a tracked vehicle, much less build one from scratch. Major props on the effort and the results.

You could say mine is rare. In my life I have only ever seen three, I owned 2 of them! Many people see it and say they know someone that had one or the power company used to have them. I agree with...
I do still have it but I stopped actively trying to sell it. If anyone is interested or wants to see pics I suggest IM'ing me.

This is a Series 2 Marsh model. Only 500 of these were made. This one was purchased several years ago in northern Michigan where is was used as an ice fishing vehicle. It is registered and titled as...
it is the closest thing to unstickable i have ever driven! I drive mine in swamp that would swallow any wheeled vehicle and it barely starts to sink in.
Awesome job Brushcutter. I have been out of touch lately but I keep checking in to see how you are doing. Looks like you did great! I would like to see that exhaust, I am still struggling with that...
So maybe I am too late with this one to add value but here it goes. I have had this Trackster for the past few years and I really like the machine. It is fantastic in really bad mud, I take mine into...
Glad to see you back. I did my 4 stroke conversion while you have been gone. I had a problem after I did it where one of the buttons on the shuttle valve got stuck and wouldn't allow the left track...
My trackster goes ~15 mph now with a Honda 24hp motor. It has never run out of torque on any incline. With the original motor it would run over 20 mph but the machine just really wasn't made for...
OK I have some pictures uploaded now. I am still cleaning things up but it is running and driving again and the improvements over the 2 stroke are immediately obvious.

At least you didn't accidentally buy a diesel K5 Blazer without asking your wife. Did I tell you I no longer have an ebay account?

I have been on the site for quite a while but I have been silent for some time. I finally seem to have my Trackster in a good place. I have had this machine for almost 2 years. I built a really nice...
Glad to see you working on it again Gregg. Hopefully it gives in and starts working right for you now!

If I remember right Rick Dobbertin basically started the pro street movement in the 80's with the Turbo and supercharged Nova he built and then ended it by making the wildest most over the top car to...
I had similar problems with mine. I would also suggest closing the gaps up on the plugs. The book says .040" but i don't think the old electrical systems can hack that. Im running mine at .020" and...
When I was in middle school there was a guy in town that had a 6x6 and a Trackster. He would groom local snowmobile trails with the Trackster. I was young and impressed and he said that it could go...
I was looking over my new Trackster today and noticed that the towing clips that allow you to move the machine if the engine stops running are missing. Does anyone know where you could possibly buy...
Well it has been a long long time since I have posted any progress on my project. I sold the machine that there is a picture of in the original post. I bought a series 2 marsh model in michigan. It...
If it was just a garage I would have let it burn. It is an attached garage!
The story is too long to give he details but suffice to say, always have a fire extinguisher ready when welding. A...
