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:

Here is a video of Snowplow Alley at the Cole Museum in Bangor Maine. The old fellas in the video were great.

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.

Hello everyone, I have been working with a gentleman from NH about old truck literature. I have purchased all the Oshkosh items, the FWD items have sold and the gentleman has Walters items left. Old factory photos, manuals, sales ads, etc. If anyone is interested please send me a message and I will get you to the person. I am unsure on the asking price and not sure what all is there.
Be safe out there!
Tim

Says he's going to send some of the collection, including a number of old Brockways, to the scrapyard soon, and this plow, whose only real defect is having too many coats of paint, is apt to go.

Not a snowplow, but I am looking for a 1948 Oshkosh W1600BDH 6x6 Truck that my grandfather bought in 1948. It had a Franks drilling rig mounted on it. Use in Kansas into the 1950's. Sold to a company and moved by train to Michigan. Last seen around the Allegan Michigan area. Reward offered for information leading to truck whereabouts. al_kasishke@yahoo.com
