Fordson Snow Machine

The Fordson Tractor was a product of Henry Ford's 22 track mind. Considering he was raised on a Dearborn Farm, it's no wonder he decided to go into the tractor business in 1917.


The Fordson Snow Machine was developed by an aftermarket company, Armstead Motors using a Fordson tractor as the base piece of equipment. Enjoy the video below, and click the link below to see photos of existing Fordson Snow Machines.

Site News and a Big Thank You

First off thanks to all the readers of this blog, we passed 12,000 page views yesterday! While this may be small potatoes compared to other sites, I never figured this project would take off like it has.

I have alot of neat things ready to go including photos of Edsel Ford's personal cars,  Henry Ford and the soybean and more of the "Then & Now" Assembly plant photos. Plus a few surprises...........

Thanks again for all the comments- I do read them all and they are much appreciated.

As always check back often for the only blog dedicated to 1903-1940 Ford Motor Company History & Trivia.
I guess we can all drink to that. Forget the Ice Cream & Refreshing Soft Drinks this is time for a cold beer!
