chip61 658 #5 Posted June 26, 2013 I saw a picture of something similar that Ford had done with a tractor back maybe 60-70 years ago to run in the snow. Not sure how well it worked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CasualObserver 3,408 #12 Posted June 26, 2013 That came from OH, there was a guy there who built all kinds of crazy things, all out of Wheel Horses. He had an auction about 5-6 years ago and all the toys got sold. There was a forklift made out of an extension ladder, a half-track, a road grader, this crazy screw-drive thing and others. I feel like there were about a dozen total. Maybe Brrrly or Nick can say something... I seem to recall one of them lived just down the road from the guy. Edit... found an old thread with a couple pics of some of the other stuff this guy built. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff-C175 7,199 #13 Posted June 26, 2013 Good Lawd, that's awesome video! BUT, I gotta say, that man whippin' that horse should be shot. Just cuz the horse ain't got wheels is no reason to whip the poor creature! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CasualObserver 3,408 #19 Posted June 26, 2013 Look at the link I put in my last some old pictures of his other builds..... I just found the only picture I can find of the forklift built from an extension ladder. I think I had more, but they must have been on an older long-gone computer This pic is from one of the ebay ads after the auction was over. A bunch of the projects got sold at the auction and were on ebay the next week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
