It finally got shared to RUclips! Saw an add on instagram a year ago or so. It's fully restored! The original black and white videos are stunning. It's amazing what it can do! Hauls so much timber. Amazing the idea was dropped after the failure. I wonder what even failed? I did see there are ones that exists in Europe! Very very few and maybe only one.
The Fordson was developed on the east coast of the USA, where the snow gets more compacted. In Alaska the snow is much lighter and the Fordson tended to just dig itself in
i'm surprised no one makes a vehicle like this...it would be the ultimate for ice fishing.
You've never heard of a snowcat?
@@charlesfisher3983looked up snowcats... They have tracks.
I had always been interested since I saw the original video. Now I am so happy that someone has redone the video recently.

It is Art !
20hp and it goes thru all that! imagine if you put a 450hp turbo diesel engine in it
Best comment.
Kewl!
As enjoyable as this is, some narration/ history, and or engine sound would have been much nicer
What happened to the other 2 that were brought to Alaska?
Dislike for the music. We want the engine sound
