thats pretty damn cool

 

WOW ! That IS COOL !!!!!!!!!

 

That is amazing! Does anyone have any more info on these things?

 

I bet that thing is sitting in some farmers back field somewhere in MI


I seen a similar thing built on junkyard wars years ago


very cool video

 

Kevin in Mn,I better not be missing my culverts under my driveway tomorrow,if I am..I know you took them for a new project!!!!!!!!!!! That is a cool video !!!!!

 

Yup, culverts... just what I was thinking.... I was also thinking some sort of single drum version, like a modern snowmobile with ski's up front and outriggers in back... motorcycle engine and hve it be chain driven.

After that I go to work making it snow here.

 

Looks fun, until you slip and fall and it squishes you to a******* pulp...

 

Cool,,,that thing is unreal,,,and the Chevy hi-boy touring sedan is even cooler,,,,Thanks, HRP

 

Wow, that's a different approach!! very cool!

 

Why didn't this concept last?
It's a great idea IMO - someone bring it back!

 

Thats funny! But really, I want one!!!

 

that was cool as hell,,,,,,i felt sorry for that poor horse, though,,hahaha

 

Now that is cool. thanks

 

Cool as hell !! I really like the hosre part as in ""Just beat the***** out of the poor thing he'll keep going"" Install a********** Warmer on that thing and you'll be in bussiness LOL >>>>.

 

Yeah, not sure I want to risk becoming a smoothie. Might be a lot safer with some fender covers on top of those babies.

 

I want one,and it doesn't snow here!!!

 

Great Vid!

I remember the junkyard wars machine too..


Check out this 1942 Tatra V855 snowmobile!!

 

that guy was flogging the hell out of it! I can Imagine the horse thinking "ASSHOLE! Can You not see what the problem is here? Hit me with that stick again,******, And You're gonna be a permanent Snow Angel. Did You not see those letters pop up a second ago? Horses SHOULD NOT BE RIDDEN IN THE SNOW. Dumb****. And Your buddy has the tractor, but noo...You gotta drag my big**** out here and see if I can make it. I can, but not with 200 pounds of dipshit on my back..."

I hate the snow, But that looked like fun. The chevy touring supersnowmobile looked like a riot. a cold riot, but a riot, nonetheless.

 

Thats the coolest Snowmobile I've ever seen. And I've NEVER seen a snowmobile. ever.

 

Thanks for posting that, they made some great things in the 1920's based on Fordson tractors, hope someone has one of these conversions running today.

 

I wanna play with it. Looks fun, I would've chased my sister with it when I was 12...

 

If you made one with big enough, hollow pontoons for the screw drives it could work on the water as well. I wonde if they tried it.

 

I think it has been done.. I remember seeing an old clip once.

 

When I was a kid, on a marshy area on our farm was an old swamp buggy. It had two 55 gal. drums for "tires" in back with angle iron welded on around them as cleats, and one in front, tricycle style. The thing had a car transmission on it, and some sortof old single cyl. engine. Evidently, it got left right where it stalled or got stuck, and there it sat. The water level came up and it's now under several feet of water, but I remember begging my Dad to go drag it out with the crawler when I saw it!

 

My thoughts exactly. I bet he was thinking "just wait till be get back to the barn so I can kick you in the head - jerk."

 

badass.

 

Very cool. Kinda like this

Armstead Snow-Motor. Some others had the same idea,including the German's and Russion's. The last picture shows that one survived.
