... who was a rural mail carrier in South Dakota could have used one of these:

A criação Demo film of the Armstead Snow Motors Company.

Instead of the airplane fuselage on skis that he built.

Hmmmm, I wonder if it can be adapted to a 40...

Love how it's built under aa tractor. Too cool.

They forgot the disclaimer:

"No horses were harmed in any way during the production of this video..."

Interesting that the operators were all wearing neckties, tophats, and sport coats.

That is cool!!!

Isn't Marc an Engineer? If they made it back then, why can't it be replicated in these days? Where is that spare 40 when you want to build?

I'll quit my job and build one of those if somebody will support me and my family and pay my mortgage.

You would not have to do it all at once. Sure parts are more expensive now than in 1922 but we do make more now. Think about the guy that built that can crusher. Isn't he quite rich? I didn't finish my engineering degree but piece it together a bit at a time and who knows? Who knows what money you can gain from it. Personally I went from wanting to teach to engineering to want to write, so I am one confused SOB! Marc, YOU CAN DO IT! Crap, If I didn't have the 40 sold, imagine what that would be like??? And think, many college kids survived off Ramen Noodles

There's one at the mining museum in Butte Montana...

I'm guessing that tracked vehicles must have proved their superiority over that screw-style because that's what you see used for those same purposes today.

Ahh, jeez. M

I'm kind of curious what would happen if one side hit a sharp rock while hauling a$$ down a trail...
