I'll let someone whom reads/speaks/types the language to translate it, rather than me Google translate butchering it.

I'd say judging by the fact that all the lug nuts all all 3 wheels are in the exact same spot, and no visible drive lines, or suspension linkage for the axles. Thats is not a real truck.

But I could be wrong.

What say you now?

Here we go:

"This deals with a tracked vehicle as with the already shown models U411 and U421. The conversion was performed by the company "SCHMIDT" from St. Blasien. The fuel tank was stowed on the Pritsche. The base model was a U406. The photos are from 1968"

Sounds like there were more pics.

How'd I do?

Here is a tracked vehicle such as in the previously shown models U411 and U421. The conversion was made ​​by Fima Schidt in St. Blaise, the tank was placed on the platform. Basic model was a U406. The pictures were taken from 1968

HAHA, posted at the same time, thanks for the translation.

What say you now?

Crap.

 

[tkv000]

I'll post up the 411 and 421 versions later

I thought it was going to be a Mattracks thread. Quite pleasantly surprised!

Oh, here's a picture I saw at a welding shop; a guy made a skid loader type of dealie out of old tractor tires.

Rubber Tire/Tracked 411

All a little different setup's

Rubber Tire/Tracked 421

I'm sensing a theme here...

How do those things steer? Do the links on the tracks bend left and right? I can see the running gear underneath, like the drag link and differential. They look mattrax's grandfather.

Awww that 411 is soooo cute!

I mean they are cute anyway, but with tracks it looks like it's still learning to crawl.

 

[Spicergear]

I would suspect brakes have been seperated left side and right side but the actuation would be interesting to know.

Links like that don't bend to the sides.

 

[dxmedia]

There's two big ass levers where the steering wheel should be in that photo. Brake lever for each side.

Just throwing a vid of a unitrac in for those who aren't aware of them.

What a coincidence, I just saw a similar contraption on CL advertised as ultimate moose rig. it has tracks wrapped around three wheels and a skid steer arrangement braking either side to steer, its a home built unit and only $800.00.
