1929 Vehicle
 

this is a really cool invention back in 29. Probably dangerous as all hell if you fell off but pretty inventive for the day. Worth a look if you are into mechanical things.



YouTube - Fordson Snow Machine - 1929 Concept

Paul for some reason nothing loaded on my end. I knew after I posted the pics emoticons I shouldn't have.

you can't see the you tube?

Works great on my PC! Wonder why the concept tractor never made it commercially?

I want one.

Pretty impressive for back in the day. I wonder how well it worked up a steep grade?

did you see it pull 20 tons of logs towards the end of video? pretty darn powerful but man if you fell off the side it would make mince meat of you. I can't imagine it would have any trouble with a steep grade.

Looks like grapenuts driving that thing :rotf2:

So Paul when you going to build one? That is what i cal American ingenuity!!! I wonder why the concept did not take off as it seems better than a snow cat.

Awsome machine P. everything running off the Power Take Off.

Before seat belts. :D

Pissah video Paul...

now...hows this rig for Snow Removal?

Paul, I just know you have it all worked out in your head....

Karl - that looks like something my son would build:biglaugh:

Have gun will travel !!!!!!:rocketem:Karl !!

I can see paul now going down the boat ramp heading into barnstable harbor an taking a short cut over sandy neck , back in at low tide straight over the flats /water? we don't need no stinking water/ an back up the ramp after a day of fishing..it'd need a combo sticker.

I don't see why you couldn't build one that runs on water too. Awesome post
