Very rare Model T snowmobile

These are pictures taken by a friend of mine's grandfather. His grandfather made this snowmobile back in 1930-31. It was from northern Minnesota. Bob.

Boy would I love to see more details on that buggy! I cant even imagine the frail front end holding up to the side loading those tracks would impose on turns. Thanx for posting!

I suspect that it may have been “all track drive”, using a T 4 wheel drive. Then it would make good sense to me.
