The little holes in the glass are the clamp marks made during the tempering process.
What an awesome vehicle, definitely not something you see every day.
Great content. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your info the dots/holes on inspection do look like they are supposed to be there 😁🤙🏼
G'day to you! I still have my Matchbox Model in my collection of this little Cutie, didnt know it was a VW Variant, cant what for you to finish,keep up the good work Mate!👍PS Back in '71 I had a '58 Splitty which I drove around OZ!
I had a Matchbox version of the Snow Trac when I was a kid in the 1960s. Had no idea the real ones were powered by a VW engine. :)
I had too.
@@ivanholubec ~ us three! Still have it!
I didn't know this existed until your videos. I love this Snow track. It blows my mind how rust free it is. That can't be common.
The aluminum body doesn't rust. but the steel frame members where they are covered by the skin frequently are. It's not visible until the body is off.
I grew up with VWs, the tank is unique and holds my interest. But having your son be a part of your journey is more important to me to see. A positive experience and memories for him to see later. I'm sure your friends & family likes watching your journeys too.
Thanks for your positive comment we do enjoy our vw’s and yes the family do watch to see what we been upto 😁🤙🏼
I had a Matchbox toy version of this back close to 60 years ago. I'd almost forgotten about it until I saw these videos. Some years back I read Alistair MacClean's "Night Without End." The characters were traveling across the Greenland ice cap in a Citroen snow crawler. I always envisioned one of these...
I would love to own one of those little tractors from San Jose CA 🇺🇸👏👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Literally looks like Shrek coming out of the mud pit, then taking some bath! Wonderful. Keep the videos coming Brother!
😂😂😂
Thanks! Will do!
You don't only have amazing vidoes, you also have amazing taste of music! Brings me back to old gold era! Keep it up, you are amazing guys!
Thank you very much!
Nice
The next thing I would do is raptor line the hole thing
Wow.I could use one of those. I live in the NW state Washington mountains above the snow line. Snowing now. Could really change our life. Gteat video. Thumbs up n subbed. Dandahermit🎉😅
Very cool!..CONGRATULATIONS! on an absolutely wonderful find!!..👍👍👍🗽🇺🇸
I think matchbox made a red snowcat toy of that snowcat. It had green windows and white rubber tracks.
Yes they a did do a toy 🤙🏼
So cool watching this video
Thank you 😊
WOW ! Sure would like to see the restore video !
Wendy and Danny escaped the Overlook in one of those😮
I’d love to own one too. Nice find! Can’t wait to see the resto. Looks like it was orange and red back in its previous life before the paint brush treatment.
Yes I think it was 🤙🏼
I would like to see the engine bay cleaned with a little chrome and a nice hot camshaft! And headers, what the heck, some jams too! Gotta have some leather in there, just for grins!
I can’t wait to start some proper work on it
It's an amazing piece of engineering very nice I'll take two please
Haha
DEFINITELY ONE COOL VEHICLE... SHE CLEANED UP NICE, NOW COMES THE FUN PART... KEEP PUSHIN ON BROTHER... PEACE, FROM CREEL CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO...
Nice one thank you 😁🤙🏼
I want to see this striped and rebuilt to factory with tech and safety upgrades, then go into town to fill up 😋
Haha and so do I lol 😊🤙🏼
i've never seen one of these before, looks so freaking cool and nutty looking. i'd love to drive one of these
Thanks it is fun to drive
This thing is really neat. Thanks a lot for sharing. you have earned a new subscriber.
Nice one thanks for your support 🤙🏼
Ap much better mate looking forward to seeing the progress
Thanks resto videos coming soon
@@VWFarmWould have been great while it was moving to mount a camera in engine bay to see the drive from gearbox to sprockets. Also the steering mechanism, which looks quite interesting. Not saying we don't like to see a good decrudding but would've made better content, were all mech heads here, cheers Darren.
That’s a really good idea 👍🤙🏼😁 thanks for your input 😁
Nice one!. Hand painted! 🙂 Just like my wreck of a BSA Bantam I bought as a teenager in the mid eighties. Hand painted with house paint. Although do reckon the paint saved all the tin ware from rusting away!. 🤣 Real B*stard to get off though!. Nuff said!.
Yes it is going to be a real pain to take that paint off 😂 great how you end… Nuff said!. 🤙🏼😁
@@VWFarm I'm at that 'age' now where my comments usually end with that. 🤣 This was a 'good nuff said'. 🤣 Can't wait to see what you do with it!. Till then 👍🍺
Cool video! Terrible music though.
Thanks for the comment, our original music had copyright infringements on it so had to be changed 😟 🤙🏼
Someone had one at a VW Classic show years ago. That's pretty early considering the crank start pulley etc.
Cool little vehicel.... I did Not know before... I will follow its.... Greetings from Germany
Thanks for watching!
The lad seems to have mastered the vehicle.👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺
He had a great time moving it around 😁🤙🏼
Those dimples on the glass is from the manufacturing process , they will have always been there.
cool project. you probably rescued it just in the nick of time, it was on the brink of just rotting away
Yes it was
Have to give the original designer credit, using an air cooled engine in a vehicle designed to operate in sub-freezing temperatures is smart.
On the other hand, air-cooled engines do not produce much heat for the occupants.
My older brother had a VW Beatle without the gas heater, and we were freezing in his car.
@@thepragmatic6383 His first video showed photos of these machines alongside the same Beetle they drove to the North Pole.
They probably installed an Espar heater. I know I want one for my Bug! :3
The ideas in my head for that are killing me. I want one!!!!
It’s a great vehicle, just needs a bit of work 😁🤙🏼
Like.. mobile bar on the snowmobile trail.
Brilliant stuff gents.
Thanks for the support it’s cleaned up 🧽 well 😁🤙🏼
Good afternoon! Can you show how the chain is tensioned on the drive axle in your next video? And what is the tension of the track? Is there suspension on the last wheel (big wheel). Can you show these details? Thank you. Subscribed to the channel, I'll wait for the next episode
Brilliant vehicle and video
Thanks
Now She Just Needs A Bushmaster Turret incase of A Zombie Apocalypse…..
I'd the Matchbox model of this. I have never forgotten it. DC
It kind of reminds me of an old Citroen or Peugeot postal service truck with a half- track chassis under it. I like it. I hope to see it running on new tires and with the rest of the parts of the roof(if you can find it) installed .(you should have gotten the old roof rack that was on its bonnet in the first video.
I know I slipped up with the roof rack
Looks great! I like the OG red color!
Yes the red was really striking 😁🤙🏼
Looks like a lot of fun 👍👍😎
Yes it is great 👍
Need to try the Scotchbrite and Palmolive trick
Would love one of these!🆒😎👍!
If I'm not mistaken, I have a toy Matchbox brand model of this Snow Trac, somewhere in my Mother's attic I'm sure.
Yes there is a Matchbox toy 🤙🏼😁 I’m wanting one now haha
this one deserves a proper restoration!
It defo does at least it’s a contender for restoration with a running engine and moving easily 😁🤙🏼
Very cool!!!
😮 it scrubs up well a cleaner vehicle is all ways easyer to work on 😊
we will be starting the restoration soon
@@VWFarm great 👍
А Вашему сыну машинка понравилась! Очень заметно!
It cleaned up really nice. Is the plan to restore it, or leave it as is?
Restoration videos coming soon
I’m so sorry but funny Smurf cat music
Love this abomination! It looks so ugly it's actually beautiful! Love weird & unique VWs. They are indestructible and as they say, they just keep on rolling rolling rolling!!!!!
That was a vintage VW ad campaign -- VW Käfer ..es läuft , und läuft , und läuft , und läuft...
( VW Beetle .. it runs , and runs , and runs , and runs..... )
😇❤
Wow where would ya get a pair of tracks??
You did get the roof rack and other bits and bobs for this - like the door - did you?
We did get the rear door, unfortunately there was no roof and the roof rack, was not in the deal 😟🤙🏼
should have used COMET or Ajax and scrubbed off that first layer of dirt. would come out better.
Thanks for the comment , I will have to get some it’s not like we have not got anything else to clean 🧽 😃 We were all day cleaning it and still got the engine bay to do. I was just happy it started back up. 😊
Great jive ❤
Thanks 😁🤙🏼
Coolest vehicle I've seen in a while
Thanks we are enjoying it 🤙🏼
Hey quick question, why is there an essay of #’s in the description, some are #wizard or #mrbeast. Also I would like to know your method of removing rust from shiny parts, I’m doing a restoration myself on a item from 1923
I can't believe it's only a vw engine, it doesn't seem powerful enough to pull all that weight and caterpillar tracks. Looks cool, I like it.
I know it works well too 😁🤙🏼
iw e got two blinkers from one of these. in restored condition
Are you selling them? Lol
Congratulations on an amazing VW !! Use oven cleaner to remove the paint. Shouldn’t touch the original Red paint. Good luck
Thanks for the tip! we will give it a go.
did you clean the engine compartment , oil, lube it? seems like you were more interested in getting it started, than checking fluids and lube? and air cleaner? I'm sure you did I see so many video's of people just rushing to make it run, with out cleaning it first.
Now you need to close it all off and install a heater and be ready for cold weather adventures. Seems you need to invest in a steam cleaner.
A steam cleaner would be nice 👍🤙🏼
Is it made by VW, or does it just have a VW engine and perhaps transmission? I once owned a '66 Beetle in a color called Bahama Blue which looked a lot like this color.
Does it have the rest of the enclosure?
I was wondering the same thing
It was made by a Swedish Farm equipment company, it uses vw parts engine and a modified transmission by the looks 🤙🏼😃
Nice work, man. Actually, you may be able to dig an original color from under that grey coat with a little acetone scrub.
Yes we may try and take the green off and see if there is red paint underneath 😁🤙🏼
@@VWFarm Looking forward for results 😁
Dimples on the glass usually mean it’s toughened, not laminate like today’s cars. Also means it’ll shatter into one billion pieces if smashed!
Hoping it's a snowy Christmas.
Thanks 😁🤙🏼
Sure would like to understand how the steering wheel works with tracks.
ua-cam.com/video/5ToqT2YRsNE/v-deo.html
I'd like to see it fully restored.
We will be 🤙
Wow looks great now, I actually prefer the red
It’s looking a lot better looks like the red was the original colour 😁🤙🏼
Where can you get a roof for that?
just fabricate a new roof
That’s the plan!
Very, very cool. Could haul a tracked camper….?
Or, cheaper on runners.
Old land rover rear lights?
A camper would be cool 🤙⛄️🚌
I like that thing 😏.
Rear lights look like old styel mk 1 landrover to me..
Thanks I’ll have a look
Wow !!! 😳😳😳
Thanks for the comment 😁🤙🏼
Now for some paint
Yes it’s going to require painting 😁🤙🏼
@@VWFarm are going to restore the original red or get creative?
Steering wheel in a tracked vehicle of that vintage? Curious how that works.
VW powered means not a lot of heat in the cab.
Not much heat in the cab especially with no roof 😂🤙🏼
steering ua-cam.com/video/5ToqT2YRsNE/v-deo.html Heat in mine anyway is not a problem. the heater hose is very short and the air gets the vents hot enough to raise a blister if you not careful.
Can I ask does it have a roof? Or I you going to put one on it or leave it as is?
There was no roof it needs one 😁🤙🏼
A nice paint job and a good greasing up she should look and drive better.
I think so too
Could you explain how the vairiator steering work?
I wonder if you washed under the hood
We left the engine did not want to push our luck 🤙🏼
Steam would help cut grease
Nice one freezing over here at the mo a shame I not got a steam cleaner ⛄️🤙🏼
Mint 👍🏻🇬🇧
Thanks for the support 😁🤙🏼
Thanks for the support 😁🤙🏼
You missed a spot...the Engine Bay!
The engine and wiring needs sorting so I didn’t want to disturb anything as it’s only just working 🤙🏼
@@VWFarmsmart 🤓
They must have had a cloth top or roof???
It may have the ones I have seen have had a metal roof with a hatch in it. 😁🤙🏼
While you could order one with a cloth top which had wooden slats that ran in a track, I don't see the track in this one. the top is typical of the hard top version.
A tracked vehicle that steers with a wheel
?😮
Haha yes that is so 😁🤙🏼⛄️
@@VWFarm I was impressed seeing it drive into the garage on it own power
Yes we were lucky with this one to get it running 😁🤙🏼 and it cleaned up well.
@@VWFarm Still would love to see it in either a camo job or something vibrant and flashy.
The original colour was bright red not sure as yet if we are going the military look or to original red 🤙🏼
What are your plans for the paintwork lads?
We may be painting it back to red how it originally was
Steam is way to clean not cold water and soap
What is the serial number on the plate on the back side ?
Not sure what do the numbers mean 🤙🏼
The number tells you what year it was made
Thanks, i will have to check and try see when it was made, as we thought it was 12v and i think it is 6v.
All Snow-Tracs before 1968 have 6 volts and the serial number runs from the year 1960 #130-2315, year 1980 and the first models number 57001-59129. made 1957-1959.
Shouldn’t the cab have a roof?
Yes the roof is missing 😁🤙🏼
Was the roof originally canvas?
@@charlesyoung7436No. It was hard. Possibility tin plate , Aluminium or even Fibreglass. On the Corgi model it is raised in the centre, like an upside down boat
I think it was painted with house paint
Yes i think it was 😁🤙🏼
Have you located a roof for it, and side windows.
Not as yet 🤙🏼
You forgot the most important thing to degrees the motor compartment
It needs a lot of work
Just want to sort the wiring problems before disturbing anything🤙🏼
all that cleaning but not the motor
We will be cleaning doing engine / engine bay by hand, it’s all still very delicate. Didn’t want to disturb anything whilst it does still actually work 😁🤙🏼
We didn’t do the engine as it’s only just running and a lot of the wires are disconnected
We will do the engine when the wires are sorted😀
Are you based anywhere near Doncaster?
Not too far around a hour away 🤙🏼
@@VWFarm
Do you sell any of the old VW or are most of them for parts ?
@terryroberts4589 the VW I’m selling for parts is our newest video of the beetle in the scrapyard as it can’t go back on the road. Our website is VWFarm.co.uk most things I’m selling is on the website. Thanks
5 gallons of paint stripper would have worked better I think
Lol it definitely needs it
Oh come on try new enunciate English words 26 letters in the alphabet
Fake! Cool vehicles no longer exist! This is CG.
You need a better power washer that one seem kind of weak.
Yes, it could be better, we did manage to get it clean in the end which is the main. Most of my equipment could do with updating lol. 😁🤙🏼
How>this>steer
With the steering wheel, which uses a variation to speed up and slow down each track.
Cool 😮
Thanks for the comment 😁🤙🏼
There like 50 of them in Nome Alaska. They suck...
Haha 😂
