Hello all I have a Bombardier Bombi and I was wondering if anywone knows where to get odd sized tires . It has 10 x 450 tires, which im starting to believe are quite rare . I dont know if any of you have seen one of these or not but there a small tracked vehicle with a Ford industrial engine coupled to a 4 speed transmission which drives what appeares to be a dana differential whith the spider gears removed and has the replaced with long spur gears which drive individual planetary drives with brake bands in oil . All this in backwards with the operator sitting towards the front . Mine is equiped with the 24" inch aluminum cleated snow tracks there made by Bombardier the Canadian snowmobile company that biulds Ski Doo . anywone know anything about these ?

I know a little about them. I have owned a number of snow groomers, and muskeg tractors. The tires are available from snow groomer suppliers, but are expensive. I found that the small size emergancy spare tires for cars work really well and, if you go to a junk yard they will give you the tires!! Check that out before you buy any. It worked great for me and really bummed out the snow groomer supplier when he found out about it. He had never thought of that and hoped the word did not get out.

Hi there, my grandpa made a Bombardier Bombi back in the late 70's, Now I'm a kid who's still in high school and I have taken it upon myself to restore it.
One of the axles is bent and thats why my grandpa parked it, it has an Austin car engine and I'm guessing its around 150-200hp.
So if anybody has any info about how to straighten a bent axle please post some info on this post thanks.
