CJ-6 Snowcat by Sno-Ball

• CATEGORIES: CJ-6, Features, Unusual This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Paul found this special government-ordered CJ-6 with a little extra traction.

According to the website usual locomotion, “Sno-Ball Jeep CJ6 Snowcat, 1956. Contract between Jeep and Sno Ball Corp. created this vehicle to transport crews over deep snow. They were provided to the US Forest Service and the FAA. 20 were built in 1956 and only one is remaining. Tracks are rubber belted and the grousers are in steel. This Sno-Ball Jeep stayed in Colorado and was sold in 2004. The Snowcat used a Jeep engine, transmission and cab in 1956. Original wheels and axles could be mounted back but there was an extra frame lift.”

Sure looks like a dually to me. And, it includes an overdrive! This won’t last long. I suspect it had a wrecker or trencher on it. I wonder if it has a PTO as well.
