Old Snow Plow Equipment Home PageThis is a featured page


Welcome to a website dedicated to the old snowfighting equipment from the 20th century. We want to invite both collectors of the old iron and those who have an interest but haven't yet bought that Walter, Oshkosh, Linn or FWD to get started. There are currently pages for all the truck and plow makes and models listed on the left, a truck register page, and buy/sell/trade. I hope you enjoy what is here and take advantage of the website's easy-edit process to add information, post photos or add comments.

Home - Antique Snowfighting Equipment

Enough of the cheese truck/snow plow picture (see photo at bottom of page)- let's move on to better things.
The following clip is from some home videos from the early 90's. It shows two
Sterling chain drive trucks clearing a parking lot somewhere in the Boston area.Take a good close look at the great condition of these trucks. I wonder where
they ended up. Anyone who can put a model year or era on these trucks, please add a comment. I'll see if I have any photos and then maybe set up a Sterling page

New Website!

Member Sterlingluver has set up another wetpaint site covering a wide range of antique equipment including trucks, tractors and fire fightting equipment. It is located at:

Give it a look and sign on as members. Bill




I've had this picture posted at the bottom of the page but decided to bring it up so no one missed it. It is a winter readiness picture from Bedford County, PA from the forties or fifties.

So you like snow, do you? I found this snow total report from a 4 day storm in January
of 1997 and thought I would share it. If you look closely you'll see totals of 84" in Lewis and
Oswego counties in New York. All that at elevations around 2100'. Lake Ontario is notorious
for lake effect snow because it is so deep that it never freezes, giving up lake effect even in
April and once in a while May!

Check this website for snowfall records on Tug Hill. It remains a goal of mine to travel up there during the winter, especially a good one.

This video is very reminiscent of the old Walter-Frink "Plowing Tug Hill"

Hi my name is Tim and I am the proud owner of a 1952 W712 Oshkosh Snow Plow. I plan on buying several more to add to my collection and I have my eyes set on a 1920's model that needs some TLC.
One of things that I am most proud of is that for several years now I have been a collector of Oshkosh Truck history and memorabilia with the dream of someday retiring to Oshkosh and opening up a museum for others to come and enjoy. My collection is valued at close to $10,000.00 with many rare items in it. I have many great friends who work for OTC and by far my best friend is Clarence who has helped me with my collection since day one. For now I am trying to spread the word to all that I meet about my collection and ask for everyones help and keep an eye out for Oshkosh items.
Thanks,
Tim

A great way to help preserve and respect these large to X-large trucks, which got us through many wars, the cold war and just kept this awesome country moving!!!

Is anyone taking trucks/equipment to Owls Head for the show this weekend? I'm not making the trip as I am saving my weekend away for Hillsboro. My Dad is going to be up there though so I want to let him know who he should be looking for... Plowman's Linn would be an easy mark, but I'm not sure on others rigs. DavCut
