Its an Armstead Snow tractor made in Detroit in the early 1900s ,built on a Fordson tractor with a spiral drive system designed for snow.. mud.. and icy conditions mainly in the logging industry ............Fingers

Based on an early Fordson

It's just Dave showing off his "Steampunk" gear again!!

Well done and yes scotty i thought of steam punk straight away. I found in a yard today completely by accident an old traction engine in a shed. The stuff is still out there.

I would have said the lost Thunderbird from the TV series.

Holy crap - you wouldn't want to fall off it sideways while it was going

Here's more - Make sure to overdub some music of your taste - the music on the video is crap.;

That thing looks like seriously good fun if you could get it going again (and we all know you can !!!)

I'd say it is either chains or a gear train. Either way the drums are driven from the rear. It may be mentioned in the link or somewhere else. When I did the search there is a lot of stuff about these unusual machines.
