I have never seen or heard of this machine before. That Fordson Snow-Motor is a pretty unique idea and from the video, it appears pretty impressive. I agree Frank, one has to wonder why it never took off and was never expanded on. One thing for sure though, the Fordson driver's are alot better dressed than you bomber drivers. ha ha

BIGDAVE:
Have seen a couple!!!!  A restored one in truck/tractor museum outside Sacramento, CA at Woodland.  the unrestored other is at old settlers museum at Fairbanks, AK.  Have pics and some history.  We have also been looking for more footage of a screw auger driven 1930? Tucker.  We have some scratchy footage taken in the Sierras.  BIGDAVE

oops, the engine tag is a radial airplane engine.  The tractor is a conversion of a Fordson by Armstead Snow Motor‎.  Google that!  The Hedrick Ag History Center, Woodland, California  is the place to find the restored one.  BIGDAVE
