In an effort not to hi-jack Loggah's thread on his Lombard and  the work he did and shared with us
I thought this would be in order.

Do you have pictures with a snow plow on one ?

That is probably the best linn documention out there, even if they have a few lombard pictures described as Linns :D .My1925 Linn was originally a plow truck for the city of morris N.Y., was rebuilt in 1931 and was sold to Ford & Smiley Linn and Buick dealers in Skowhegan Maine. They sold it to Joe Chinchette  a maine contractor and was used for hauling and snowplowing. Joe Chinchette 's business is still going strong with family members,it is now "CHINBRO" bridge and highway contractors. Don

I'm liking both of these threads. Keep the history coming! I appreciate the work you're both putting out to us, thank you!
I believe in the hereafter, because every time I take two steps into the tool crib to get something I wonder " what did I come in here after"

If nothing else I'm always a good last resort or the guy to hold up as a bad example

now I have this overwhelming urge to build something very similar. I happen to have a 1987 Jeep comanche 2wd metric ton with a straight 6 in it. I bet that would be a fun platform to start with :)

A few years ago a person in Canaan had a old cletrac crawler,took out the engine and radiator ,and grafted the front of a small toyota  ,or datsun pickup to the front of it. I dont think it would steer very quickly unless he made up linkage from the steering brakes and put it into the cab, i didn't check it out that close. Don
