Fordson Rail Tractor
Cool, these things really got around. I saw one in Nome, Alaska too.

I just noticed that the one in Nome is a four wheel drive Fordson. They even added weights in the front for more traction.

WOW! That would take a long time to drive a Fordson from New Zealand to Nome, Alaska! Even longer hauling that log.
See how the Nome tractor drives by an outside crank, while the NZ one drives by chains on sprockets inside of the wheels (chains missing at present it seems!)
