DR.R:
Good evening everyone. I have an easy question(I hope). I picked up a snowbug put the ID plate was not replaced when they painted it. Some specs are as follows:
- Narrow Gauge.
- Length app. 17' 3 " not including front bumper.
- Lights set to the front of machine.
- 4 round windows/side.
- Motor 292 6 cyl. I was told it was a Chrysler motor but Ford made a 300, but that was in the 80's for trucks.
- Trany is 3 on tree long shaft.
It was used for only a few hours each year for last 6 or so years so everything is slightly gummed up. I want to buy new parts but want to narrow down the year best as possible. My estimation is a 52. Any other info required? Thank You!
DR.R
Swamp Dawg:
Is there any way to tell the vintage of a machine from the hatch location? Our 52 has it in the back, but I see others that have it in the front.
Cranman:
Many of the early metals didn't have hatches unless they were ordered . Don't think any of the woodies had them. Those that did were up front over the seats and were cut into the first roof support. Those installed after by owners were usually installed behind the roof support so they are a foot back or so. That is where I put mine in my early 1953. I like it better because you can have someone standing in the hatch without interfering with the driver or passernger. It's a great view from there and plenty of fresh air.
