We had one, rolling death machine 150, hurricane 4, no brakes, not even a whiff of them, most of the floor was missing so you could see the tire going round with the chains on. Also the engine cover was off because sometimes it liked to cough and catch fire so you'd throw a handful of snow on it to put it out and keep plowing. I taught myself to drive a stick on that with about 1mm of engagement in the clutch.
Remember seeing an FC plowing during the Blizzard of '78 in Marblehead MA...chains on all four wheels, it was unstoppable
They were a cool truck, sure glad at 14 years old I thought to grab my 8mm movie camera and record that truck that was owned by a family friend.
AWESOME, DAVE MY DAD HAD ONE, & I LEARNED TO USE THE STICK SHIFT IN IT. GREAT MEMORIES ☝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😉
They were really neat, glad it brought back good memories for you.
Awsome footage
@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 Thank you really glad I was on the ball enough at 14 years old to film that great Jeep at work
