Couldn't help it, this just came to mind with the FC postings.

Anybody know what was used for the chassis on the first Zamboni Ice Refinishing Machines in the 50's??

Here's a few of pix of these fine machines! Some early one's are flatties, later production machines are 3B's, probably because the F-head motor made more power needed to run the accessory drives.

Here's my personal favorite, since I'm a diehard Wings fan.

Hey Scott!
I go to an antique power meet in Indiana every year. They always have sawmills and even had a shake shingle machine running off an old truck.
Cool stuff!!

You'll get me going on those things next!!!! I'd like to see what he did!
