Yeah, look up the Russian made GAZ-60, GAZ-65 or MM-60, etc.... That was the Russian made half-tracked commercial vehicles that were based on the original US Ford Model AA designs.

Here are four examples of the various track set-ups that they produced:

....a GAZ-60:

...another GAZ-60:

....or this GAZ-65:

....a later MM-60:

Many thanks Brad - Bob, very interesting.


I like the way the Skis are mounted on the MM60 Picture. Quite simple really. The Gaz 60 Conversion looks very close to some of the A's on snow tracks. Food for thought.

Almost wants me to live where there is snow - nah not really.
But it may be fun out in the sand dunes of the SoCal desert.

Yeah, nothing new there.....they've been driving tracked Ford AA's in the sand long before your fancy pickup hit the dunes in SoCal:

.....and the Russians in the mud as well:

To get back "on track" in the USA, there is currently one in NH. He actively uses it every season.
