Snowco ''GT" Trailer

Recommended Posts

70sVintageTrikes

How many of you guys or gals have a Snowco implement trailer to haul your GTs around on? If you have one, then post a picture of it.

 

They were built here in Nebraska (In Omaha)  and that's one reason I like them and also the same brand as 8 or 10 of my trikes.... :)

 

I have 2 of them. First one is a 954, 900lb capacity 54'' wide 10' 10'' long. Second one I just got yesterday is a 948, 900lb capacity 48'' wide 9' 9'' long.

Did you know that SnowCo also made snowmobile trailers that were re-badged and given Wheel Horse model numbers?  The greenish regular SnowCo was available both before and after as an Allied attachment, but for at least 1970 Wheel Horse had these snowmobile specific trailers.

 

There were two available. The single place trailer was model 9-0501 (SnowCo model 637) The two-place was model 9-0511 (SnowCo model 863)

 

This image is from the 1970 Snowmobile Accessories Brochure

Very few are known to exist among collectors.  There are a few of the single place, and mine is the only two-place that I know of.  Here's a few more pictures.

 

These are before / afters of the same trailer as it's changed hands.

This was an NOS deck and tongue that had been purchased at a dealer auction and built using available axle parts.  Somewhere I have pictures of these decals to send to Terry, gotta remember to look for those.

This is my two-place trailer.

The SNOWCO trailer looks like a golf cart trailer.

Very nice for hauling 1 GT at a time.

You can use a wet sandblaster attachment to a pressure washer to strip off the rust (mentioned in another topic).

Lets just add water to rust... Makes perfect sense.

I am a commercial sand blaster and the 948 is tore down and waiting for free time to be blasted and painted.

The boat trailers have the same frame minus the floor panels.

Well here is #3........

 

A local Shriner Tri-Scat's group member showed up at my work Monday looking for the "Trike Guy". I said here I am.... He said he wanted to trade 3 for 1. (Trike wise). I said hey check out this trailer im redoing over here and its even a Snowco..... He said hey I just sold one of them to my son. I said is it forsale? So he called him and told me where to find it here in town. Lets just say the bills flew out..


More pictures.

That makes 3 models I now have. #1 is a 954, #2 is a 948, and #3 is a 1154. There was 2 models for the Snowco "Series 48" 948 and 1148. Then for the "Series 54" 954, 1154, and 1554. For the "Series 66" there was 2066, 2866, and 3566.

 

If anyone doesn't know how to decode the model number, then this is how it was. The first number on a 3 digit code is your capacity and the last 2 digits is the width. The 4 digit codes are same way. 

 

The number of leafs on the spring sets determines the load capacity. 3 leafs is 900 and 4 leafs is 1100. (This pertains to the Series 48 and 54)

Those colors are the closest I could find to the listed oem colors on the brochure. It says (Pearl Gray) & (Foam Green). The gray has a good tint of blue to it and that's how the color looks on one of my other trailers for reference when I was choosing paint. I use Diamond Vogal paints Industrial (IB) line. "Iowa"
