Interests:
I have been interested in Bombardiers and other types of track vehicles since I was a kid. In my previous life as a heavy equipment contractor we owned a number of track vehicles, Nodwells, Muskeg tractors and Cat dozers, used mainly for bush work and opening up winter roads. Over this period of time we actioned a number of major rebuilds in our shop facility.
Presently I run a small manufacturing company specializing in the manufacture and marketing products used in ice road construction.
www.bigice.caWhen time permits my partner and I (Swamp Dawg) have a number of projects on the go. Our 1983 Bombardier Muskeg tractor is under going a ground up rebuild, the Bombardier 1952 Narrow Gauge is slowly coming back to life as it has seen a new driveline, tracks and body work, and the Bombardier 1974 Wide Gauge has not seen the shop to date.
General:
We recognized that there was no location on the internet that offered information resources for Bombardier Snow Bus ( Bug) users, so we created
www.Northerntracks.com to try to provide a medium where interested individuals can view and exchange knowledge that is necessary to optimize the performance, reliability and looks of these fantastic over the snow vehicles while at the same time many new friendships develop with folks of mutual interest.
Going Forward:
I would like to encourage more viewers to consider offering their help or views that is required by the various Bombardier owners/rebuilders. There are signed in members that undoubtedly have an enviable amount of Bombardier knowledge by virtue of the fact they may have spent a life time working, repairing and rebuilding these great machines.
We would like to thank all that have contributed to this forum to date and look forward to hearing from them in the future.
