Maybe Lew will show us pics of the brochure he has... or the set he has mounted to his pull start 126 with oops pedal, cigarette lighter and horn.

But the 102 didn't have external brakes so how would it steer? Plus I didn't see a snow plow on the BOS and tank steering would really tear up the grass while mowing.

It does say 42" blade on it. Could be referring to the deck or maybe plow. Tracks are awesome, didn't know about those

You are correct, I thought it said 42" deck.

I did a little snooping too, found this on farmallcub.com. Maybe the sales slip has a typo and says 122 instead of 124, because otherwise this is probably that whole package. Story seems to line up pretty well.

That is a Tractor Trax System that was manufactured in Rutland, VT. That is SN 3 and probably the only one in the US that still exsists. I understand that IH gave him some flack about using the IH in his advertisements so all that were made after that one went to SA. That is really a unique desigm and there are steering brakes.I got to drive it at a show in NY.

That is the Owner Doc Ryan who used it to landscape his house when he built it in 1968. Broke 3 axles and one ring gear.

Model and serial on the posted BOS match with the 122 series. Model 124 serial number started about 4 thousand past that. I do like that story however and the rarity of those tracks is amazing.

That was Doc Ryan's receipt. I had some pictures of the mount and operation of the track system but I can't seem to come up with them.
