HorseFixer 2,013 #4 Posted November 28, 2010 It was the Fordson Snow Machine - 1929 Concept Yep it was quite the machine as you can see in the video below! For that price and if it worked Id be all over it thats alot of fabrication to make something like that as long as its not cobbled together. heres the link below to U tube Video.

refracman 167 #6 Posted November 28, 2010 If I remember the story right, it was a guy from eastern Ohio who made it. He made somewhere around 20-30? one of a kind Wheel Horses. He pasted a couple of years ago and they were split up. There is a story about him on here or one of the Y groups. He definitly had some fab skills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C-Series14 15 #17 Posted November 28, 2010 I have posted about this tractor before but will do so again for those who did not read it. That one along with the D-Series with the 427 big block engine were made by a friend of mine here in SW Ohio. That is my truck in the pic behind the D-Series. I drove the D and it was awesome. My friend has since passed away but before he did, he sold off alot of if mot all of his collection. For years I have been seeing them pop up here and there. I got a few pics but wish now I had taken pics of his ENTIRE collection, he had some wild creations. He also was into to tractor and truck pulling. Pulled a truck called "The Educator" as he was a retired school teacher. He still had his pulling truck when I last visited him and it still ran! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HorseFixer 2,013 #18 Posted November 28, 2010 The one I posted is about 15 minutes from me. If anyone would be seriously interested , I could go look at it and take some video and pics for them. Cavmedic Yes I would!!!!! Take as many pics as you can if you would please. Altho I have a few projects ahead of that, I someday would like to make one of those (SIMILAR) anyway! By the way, I just come in from outside too got done with my lights on the Duke "O" minium its the first time in 28 years I have ever put up X-mas lights!!!! I must be getting soft in my old age or too domesticated or ! Or maybe when ya give a little thats why I dont hear a word when I go buy a tractor! C-Series 14 to bad about yer Budd Would have liked to have met him! I can appreciate his Fabrication skills! ~Duke :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C-Series14 15 #23 Posted November 28, 2010 Yes Marv, the first and last ones were his. He almost always used an old small piston for the shifter knob or other knob somewhere on the tractor and had some sort of toy horse as a hood ornament. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,411 #24 Posted November 29, 2010 That half-track was his too, I remember it being in the auction pictures with the others. Wish I had a pic of the road grader he built. Thought I did... just haven't been able to find it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
