lol, what the hell!??!

Brett

i thought it was pretty freakin cool lol especially considering it was 1924 and i thought it was even better how the put it on a car at the end

dude that thing is sweet! I'm really surprised how well it worked, especially for being 1924 when it came out. dang.

DEVILSTOY

damn thats really cool , i wonder why the design didnt stick around on somne of the more modern things

1jeepman

That thing is wicked cool.

Brett

i was thinking the exact same thing! it seems like those cylinders would need less maintenance than a track... and the seem too be just as if not more effective. kinda makes ya wonder what happened to those prototypes too lol

DEVILSTOY

even if its something they used in alaska , the machines they use there seem more complicated then anything , i bet you that thing is in someones barn somewhere , lol lets go look for it

that is sweet,very surprised it didnt stick around

lol, yeah, it's actually pretty interesting. i was trying to figure out how the steering worked with those big corkscrews until i saw the close up of the steering linkage going to the back end.

my grandpa would probably love this. he has a 1932 Farmall he bought for a couple hundred bucks. over the course of a year he torn the thing down, repainted all the parts this bright fire engine red, and put everything back together. thing runs like it was brand new again. a big old 3-speed with tires on it that would probably make most of us jealous on the forum.

Brett

haha yeah you start over there and work your way west ill work east and meet in the middle first one to find it keeps it and the loser buys the beer! we could have our own reality tv show!

i vote we call the one with the car body on it "the first modded rig" haha

Brett

or the first all terrain vehicle lol its got my vote!

ltlgreenXJ

i wonder if we can start seeing XJs with that setup soon?

Brett

well the beauty of it was that it was designed to be swapped on and off so the tractor and or car would go back to normal wheels and tires when you didnt want to use those cylinders... would be sweet to be able to swap it on and off your xj when winter rolls around lol
