[AT] snow plowing

[Carl Gogol]

If the snow was sufficiently deep, and especially if it was known that 
someone local was missing, a deep probing team was sent ahead of the blower 
to insure the absence of a vehicle.

The movie of the snow bucking did not mention that the clutch was disengaged 
as soon as contact with the bank was made to save the drivetrain.  These 
Walter snow fighters had optional lock up differentials and transmissions. 
they were usually engaged only when it was necessary for retreating 
purposes.

Ralph i have friend that has one of them Walters don,t know how old it is.
He put a new army surplus  engine in it 3 years back. Don,t think he ever
finished and had it running. It is set up for front and side plow. Strange
looking those single wheels front and rear and four wheel drive.
