that is a lotta snow in that last pic
i was spending way too much of my life in the winter fighting snow back east and had to get out. I was having trouble envisioning myself plowing at all hours of the day and night when I was 70, which I am now.
Back east, you never got dry snow. It was always heavy and wet, and would freeze as soon as the storm was over, so you had to plow right away

After I retired we built a new house in northern Mich. It had 15 acres of grass to mow. In the winter there was lots of snow to plow. So I built a doodle bug out of a model A truck frame. It had 2 four speed truck transmissions, power take off to run the bush hog. It had live hydraulic for the snow plow and 3 point hitch. It also had Ford tractor tires on the rear and a governor.

Anyone know what the weight of an AA chassis (dual wheel) and cab would be? No box on back.

Need a little help for friend with a AA. See, he is looking at a few more MPH out of the beastie and called Mitchell and they can sell him the 'in driveshaft" 2 speed.

What difference, if any, was there between the 4 cyl. Ford put in the AA Trucks and the 4 cyl. they put in the standard cars? Thanks, Smitty...09-17-2017, 06:47 AM -
Well, it happened, the AA I have been working on was posted on MAFCA's Facebook page. Don't tell anyone about the mechanic that worked on it.07-23-2018, 12:34 AM

Mitch, is there a chance of doing this ? It would help me get a friend involved and he is very knowledgable in the early ones. Most of all it would benefit me greatly, selfish I am, and it would possibly get my truck going. Thank you for your consideration on this manner.

I just received my copy of "The Restorer" last night. One of the articles made mention of an AA with 4-wheel drive.
Has anyone seen this vehicle? The only mention of it was just that it was on display at some event, but had no pictures or other information on it.
Edit:
It was listed as a display Vehicle at the MAFFI Museum Model A Day IX page 15 The Restorer...11-20-2019, 03:48 PM -
