People must understand, lots of legislature has been passed on the last 100 years making american high quality items MUST break/stop working after so many years or the manufacturer will have to pay HUGE fines. It's all about making people continue working and replacing things

That is incredible-- from a standing start and no chains. I know the Walter Snow Fighter has 100% four-wheel drive, but how does it get any traction on the rear wheels? The back of the the truck appears to be very light with only a small bed.
@ROTAXD7 жыл бұрын
Look at the rear of the truck at the 42 second mark...that "small bed" is a solid concrete block. Not to mention, with that small amount of snow...a one ton pickup with no ballast could easily start from a standing stop.

As a youngster I'd lay in my bed, early (midnight) to mid mornings... we lived half way up a hill just off the state hwy. I'd hear the rumble as the 1936 SnoFiter rounding the corner. Stop at the hill bottom and they'd set the plow. A 10' Frink V plow and 14' wing. (He could clear the pavement from the road center. They'd always stop to allow oncoming vehicles to pass). Then the roar as it went through 1st n 2nd gear to the top of the hill shift up another gear and after a time he'd go out of earshot. Over a couple more hills on out into the country. But I could hear him off n on for several more miles. That Walter had 60" tires, sometime around Dec or Jan they'd chain up. Depending on the severity of the snow fall. The exhaust came through the hood, two 4" pipes cut off over the cab top. 903 cu in Continental gas engine. A 48" X 34"x 96" solid concrete block on the rear over the wheels. They'd go on up to "Frozen Ocean," the highest point in 7 surrounding counties before returning, then going again to "wing back" the high banks. That was in the mid to late 50s. Years later I moved out to the other end on the county road through part of the 60s & 70s. Same Walter, different driver & wing man. In talking (we were vol fire fighters) he told me that truck never had a head pulled. Only routine maintenance. These Walters were garaged through summer, and only plowed snow. When the oil companies arab holdings were nationalized, they began doubling their prices, gas became cost prohibitive. So went all the gas powered Walter Sno Fiters. Many county plows would have to cross the city and would hang their plows even in the worst blizzards. People complained..... well, it seems in years past they used to help the city out but apparently broke some curbs n such. The city back charged the county for repairs. Thus ended the free plowing for the city. That state contracted county plowing for some roadways. Around the mid 70s, being out north of town in white out conditions headed in from work, I came on a F250 Ford pickup and a Walter Frink, on the roadside. Seems the Ford drove right up the V plow and landed on its top in the adjacent ditch. Fortunately there was no serious injury beyond the Ford's roof. Ck out Plowing Tug Hill. 🇺🇸 They sure don't do as good as they used too. Oh well. That's progress 😂
