A friend of mine just sent me that link yesterday. He was all sentimental cause the guys that were testing it reminded himof his departed father with the old hats and over coats etc... Pretty cool stuff. At least it was a Fordson tractor! I wonder if there are any of those coversions left in someones barn somewhere!

This reminded me of a similar design I'd come across in my Googling for Marmon-Herrington information. This one is a swamp application, but sure is based on the same principles. Here's the link. Stu

That is one of the neatest things I've seen, I wonder how hard it would be to build one using a small garden tractor and hot water tanks. It would be nice to get hold of some drawings to see what all is involved, great link and thanks for posting it.

That was a pretty cool clip, not only practical but that thing actually looks like a lot of fun to drive too.
