That's incredible, being from a farm way back I find this very intresting. I wonder what happened with the design as at the time it would have been very advanced and usefull.

Welcome to it's 6th thread. LOL :beer;

what i was thinking... just saw it yesterday on a different thread
i think that video is hilarious though... check out its turning radius and how the guy demonstrates maneuvering over obstacles... oh.. and still dont get how that steering works. dont understand his sign language

 

[CrazyCanadianCat]

That's cool!

One guy on another thread said he knew where one is right now. I'd have to research it to tell you where it is.

Would definately be a cool thing to see at a Vintage show.

Funny, it's like the thing was just released to the public last month. I never saw anything on it until recently and now we have it all over the place. Maybe the video just surfaced.

The Eliason Motor Toboggan. 1924.

This one is often overlooked. From the 1920's, in Wisconsin.
I've posted this before, but in case people missed it, here in the link again.

Anyone see a snow segway coming?!?

 

[Doolerious]

I can picture it now......Two guys are sitting around the shop having a few drinks trying to figure out how they can get there car unstuck from the deep snow. They then decide to go grab the dozer with tracks on it to pull out the car. They succeed in the effort and go back to the shop to figure out how to put the tracks on the car. After many more drinks and failed attempts one of them says "Screw it!!", and the idea is born. At least that's how I think it happened.

Snowmobile from 1924 - cool!

The Armstead Snow Motors vehicle of 1924 used screws instead of tracks or skids - this is an actual movie from 1924 - no sound of course! Gotta love the creativity of those old farmers!
