The “Universal Car” – Wintertime Conversions for the Model “T” Ford: Photos of vehicles from the early days of motoring built specifically to deal with adverse winter conditions are always interesting. Above is a prototype driving system fitted to a Model “T” Ford in 1918 by Charles H. Martin of Springfield, Massachusetts to test the idea for a proposed light tank.

Below are mailman in Colorado using Model"T" Smowmobiles and at the bottom is a photo of the Fordson-based Snow-Motor. See and learn more about all of them on The Old Motor.

I have seen a youtube video of that tractor in action. Extremely impressive in the snow.
