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.

Anonymous Cletrac K20 with Sargent snow plow 2 Jan 4 2012, 1:50 PM EST by Bshoesey
 
Thread started: Jan 2 2012, 9:20 PM EST  Watch
I have a restored 1929 Cletrac K20. I have a Sargent snow plow that was made for that tractor. The wood has mostly rotted off and I am left with a lot of disconnected iron parts. Does anyone have a picture of such a combination? I have one picture of the rig from the back but it does show how the front hook up works. Thanks.

FWDTruckparts.com Oshkosh Heater 2 Dec 2 2011, 1:09 AM EST by FWDTruckparts.com
Thread started: Sep 16 2011, 11:04 AM EDT  Watch
My FWD heater is leaking again. No one wants to recore it. I noticed that the Oshkosh trucks with reverse sloping windshields have a very nice heater defroster set up.

I am looking for a Good Oshkosh Heater that would be the whole assembly the box it is mounted in. I hate to look in junk yards I am afraid they might be in rather bad shape. Any ideas?

Other wise I will purchase a new Red Dot aftermarket heater.

The little ski hill that owns the walter in the video is looking for a quick buck and wants to scrap it by 10-29-2011. I just learned of this and am trying to get interest in a buyer. Contact me at idahobeamer58@yahoo.com or through my youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypSi6nzFEnQ
