It's winter and some of you are snowbound. Maybe you need a Fordson Snow-Motor to get you around. It's a little bit of an antique (1926) but it has a unique propulsion system. I wonder why it never caught on?

That was trick as sh*t Don.
I want to say that this type of propulsion has been introduced in a videogame that I'm playing. Apparently the tanks use this instead of tracks. Once I get the add-on I'll try and let you know.

That is pretty cool. I wonder if there are any around today? One problem, what's with guy beaten on the horse. Poor thing was set up to fail.

I was thiking the same thing. The horse didn't have a chance and it wasn't the horses fault.

Genius! The first donuts on record! Would have loved to see it going down hill with the two loads of logs behind :ha

Sad ... but the farm animals in the 20's were considered 'beast of burden'. Horses pulling wagons back then didn't get pampered like the Budweiser Clydesdales of today.
