WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE

[rackaholic]

 Just wondering what are the differences between R-12, R-18, R-15, B-7, B-12c, B-12cs, & C-18.

Rackoholic,
I looked in the "Maintenance Manual and Spare Parts List" I have and there is a paragraph on page 7 that states:

"The vehicle code number B-12CS is a code set up to a positive identification of the vehicle.  This particular code represents the following: B means Bombardier.  12 means 12 passengers, the capacity of the vehicle, C means it is powered by a Chrysler motor, S means the model is special."

Thanks Houlio,but what does the R stand for?

Rackoholic,
To the best of my knowledge, the "R" designation was for models that had interchangeable wheels and skis.  The "C" designation was used for the "C-18" which was an expanded version of the B-12 model, that seated 18 people.

I was told that the differences between a B-12 C and a B-12 CS are as follows:

B-12 C                              B-12 CS   

Chrysler T-112, 85 HP      Chrysler T-120, 100 HP (the special is for engine)        Engine
Center of wheels 38"       Center of wheels 41"                                                   Width
Width 13" 1/4                   Width 17" 1/2                                                              Tracks
