The Museum’s current exhibition, Making Tracks: Crawlers, Tractors & Snowmobiles, explores the stories behind each of the tracked vehicles on display.

This is a 1975 Massey-Ferguson Ski Whiz 444WT.

In 1969, Massey-Ferguson Industries Limited, one of the world’s largest farm machinery manufacturers, entered the booming snowmobile industry.

The Ski Whiz snowmobile was an innovative design featuring dual sealed beam headlights, optional electric start, and a reverse-mounted engine.

Mounting the engine in reverse allowed for an increase in power.

In 1977, production ended due to declining sales.

The Museum’s current exhibition, Making Tracks: Crawlers, Tractors & Snowmobiles, explores the stories behind each of the 24 tracked vehicles on display.

One of these tracked vehicles is this 1944 Allis-Chalmers M7 Snow Tractor.

The M7 Snow Tractor was designed by the United States Army Air Corps as a rescue and recovery vehicle for remote northern bases. It was intended to pull one ton or larger M19 snow trailers.

To reduce the military’s parts requirements, the M7 shares the motor and many powertrain and tractor components with the Willys Jeep and the Allis-Chalmers tractor.

The distinguishing feature of the M7 is the track, as it runs on two rubber belts with four steel cables inside. Unfortunately, the M7 tended to shed tracks often.

This vehicle can operate with skis, wheels or both depending on the terrain.
Only 291 Allis-Chalmers M7 Snow Tractors were produced.

Show Guidelines:

The Reynolds Museum encourages submissions of original, hand made works that use metal as their primary medium or organizations that have similar purpose.

To be inclusive and supportive of artists at all stages in their creative journey, the jury will evaluate all submissions: beginner, intermediate, and advanced skill levels.

The Museum’s current exhibition, Making Tracks: Crawlers, Tractors & Snowmobiles, explores the stories behind each of the tracked vehicles on display.

One of these tracked vehicles is this 1946 John Deere Lindeman.

The Lindeman Power Equipment Company designed and manufactured specialized orchard equipment. In 1939, Deere & Company made a deal with the Lindeman Power Equipment Co. to adapt their Model B wheeled tractors to crawlers.

Deere & Company built the chassis including the engine and transmission. They then shipped them to Yakima, Washington, US where Lindeman attached the undercarriage and tracks. Finished models carried both the John Deere and Lindeman names.

The design was moderately successful, and nearly 1,600 John Deere Lindeman crawlers were built and sold between 1939 and 1947.

John Deere bought out the Lindeman Power Equipment Company in 1947.

This 1946 John Deere Lindeman was used in the lumber industry in British Columbia.
