Snowmobile 1926
Subject: snowmobile of 1926
Check out this snowmobile from 1926 ! I've never seen anything like this. It's pretty cool! I'd sure like to build one of those! It's just my speed --- Old, simple & usefull ! None of the modern day electronics to complicate things!

Re: Snowmobile 1926
The only reason they built it is that they did not know that it would not work. With reverse on one side they could go sideways too, really nifyt, should be a product.
But there was no osha to assist the development.
Iam guessing that it was steel drums, and I wonder how they welded it back then, Gas torch I assume..........
Really appreciate you puting this up, and it was a good sales photo, but it never got the light of day???????
Enjoy, Woody

BTW, Woody, you got a huge extra blank area in your sig.

The one near me in Sugar Creek Ohio has been on our local news several times for being cited for cruelty to animals, and the guy who runs the auction has been fined over $160,000.00.

Re: Snowmobile 1926
That thing is pretty awesome!
As for the horse beating, while I certainly don't condone it (my late brother was a multi time World Champion Quarter Horse Trainer) you have to remember that this was shot in the 1920's and people did things differently, and thought differently about things, back then. Remember, this was only about 80 years removed from a time when people used to own people - and often treated them similarly.
Thankfully, times change.
