Help again. There is a  box 16 or so inches  behind the transmission.
At an angel from the transmission a drive shaft connected thru a universal to the upper part of this box.
Beneath that drive shaft is another drive shaft going to my differential at the front of the vehicle.
Anyone know the name of this box and what is it for gears ?

Thanks

Trip canceled for now. Everything checked out fine and we decided to do a trial run. No power, can't even take a small hill.
The next thing we check is the speed box. Any suggestions where to purchase a replacement ?

Regards

The distance from Rankin Inlet to Chesterfield Inlet as the crow flies, 60 miles. I'me guessing 120 miles overland.
Not sure what we will run into as far as terrain. We are going to  send the Rino ahead and pick the easiest path.
The fastest route is via the sea ice but we are not experience enough.

The machine is in great shape, we just lifted all accesses to expose motor, transmission, gear box and hydraulics for skid steering.
Every thing is ok.
Now that we have it apart, I will change all belts,hoses. points. plugs, coil and hi tension leads. For sure we will rewire all electrical.
Hope to make a trip to Chesterfield Inlet this week. Pulling a sled witn a small hoe (10,000 lbs) and our Bombardier Amp Tramp wil carry  misc. materials for a project plus fuel. For need of faster transportation a Yamha Rino on tracks will accompany us.
Hope all goes well.

Thanks guys
That explains it all. My machine is stored in a temp shelter and its to cold to open it up just for a look.
Its been -50 something for ever here. Just guessing but if you added up all the days its been that cold It woul be ii would total more than -1500.
on a good note the snow is hard and travelling with my bobcat on mattracks is easy. Can go anywhere. Now if it will just warm up.

Thanks once again

Barge arrived at Rankin Inlet today and I just  unloaded a new (old) toy, 1960 Muskeg S67 carrier. Out of gas and dead battery.  After fuel and a boost, seems to run ok. The only thing I dont like is the standard transmission. It has the industrial 318 for an engine. Anyone ever put an automatic in one of these?

Regards

Good afternoon grfishmaker and old trucker
I am at home working, but I am sick of paper and so I've wandered to this site.

Heating up; the only time we had a heat problem was pulling a load 7000 lbs (sled & load). We did not over heat but the temp was climbing. We were on the sea ice and a very sunny day. End of April begining of May. We dont get 24 hr sun here but close and if there is any type of reflection it can get hot.  We just opened the motor compartment doors and all was ok.  This unit has a trany cooler and I supose that helps. I saw the pics of the cooling fans, good idea. I  plan to install a system like my boat engine room has, using one side as intake and the other as exhaust.

Churchill trip: had to cancel, too much on my plate. My son has made that trip and I met him half way and continued on to Rankin, I would like to do it again.

Talk to you soon
Bob Fitz

Hello Everyone
Thank you for responding to my questions on the custom Bombardier called Amp Tramp. This machine sat at our staff house for the last two years as we did not have a any work for it. We use it to haul electrical supplies, conduit  and such. We find it useful as it has a pipe rack and a deck.

Have had many comments on the quality of the modification, most being favourable. I agree it is not a vehicle for everone, but it suits our needs. Runs well and have only had minor problems with it.

Once again thank you

The lighting is switched direct using 20 amp dc swiches, one switch for every two lights. We have installed two batteries and an isolater  with a 83 amp alternator.
The engine is a gas 318 industrial chrysler. We pulled a sled with an older suburban on it (6600 lbs) and had no trouble. We have different snow conditions here.

Is this a factory unit or was it fabricated in a private shop. It is very well put togeather and even without the square structure on top it is sound.

Regards
