I've added a temporary link here to pages inside the website, related to the Kemp Auction. We've been getting a lot of hits related to the sale so this may make it easier to find once you get here.
The main collection of photos and some written info is located on the New England Tour 2008 section. You'll have to scroll down to the first subsection.
Kemp Collection
The discussion thread is named "Kemp Auction" and can be found by clicking on the "Discussion" icon in the header. Bill
Welcome to a new site 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.
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"

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.

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!

I'm not finding many of these restored except in military museums in places like Nebraska or Texas. I the summe rof 1920 the NY State Commissioner of Motor Vehicles and highway engineer offered these and other militray surplus trucks to municipalities just for the cost of shipping and license, the state fairground in Syracuse was used as a distribution center. One of these was cannibalized for parts and left on the farm of an old mechanic in Rome, NY and Portner ended up with at after the auction of the mechanic's farm out in Ava, Oneida County, NY so I'm guessing it was owned by a local municipality. Portner wants to sell it, and I don't need another project. I found video on youtube of a restored one down in Texas at a aereodrome but sorry didn't save th link. You can reach Portner at 315-336-4242 or flowerpower282@juno.com Yes it's rough, driveline is gone, wood all rotted away, but wheels and hard rubbe rin good shape, unfortunately the guy who moved it snapped the spring hangers so the one axle sets out on top, it should have been jacked up out of the ground first.

Now I'm trying to think of the person, I think he lived in MA who had a registry of Sterling owners, memory fails me if it was Sewall or Perkins. I think there is regularly Sterling material on Ebay, their novelty was the use of chain drive into postwar years. You don't often see them as plow trucks, usually they were used off road, logging, mining, construction, etc. and of course by the military. The only one I know of used for plowing was a military surplus truck used as a backwoods logger in the Central Adirondacks into the 1960's, a friend of mine spent almost a week changing the transmission in it as the replacement unit holes didn't match up. Looked all over and can't find that (c. 1990?) registry, but think the man's name was Perkins.
