I came across some more pictures I had saved of the 2427 Bob posted.

It really should be articulated. A rigid frame for the rear wheeled dumper somehow offends my sensibility.
For Eugen
Actually, now that a look at it, not sure how it turns...soap box steering?

I think Dan used to have a website for the tractor build.

@MattA that's a very impressive build. Shaft driven snow blower... wow ! I wonder if this means this is a tractor dedicated to clearing snow. Because I can't see how a mower deck would be driven. Unless the deck is hydraulic?
@FUTZ that's a neat build too. I wonder how they solve the problem of running two hydraulic axles in series, with only one pump.
So many talented people out there...

I had the pleasure of driving the tractor at that show with the powered dump cart attached. Dan's fabrication skills are unmatched. I know he posted the tractor for sale on Craigslist several times, I wonder if he still has it?
After watching the video, I think I was at the same show but a different year as he doesn't have the cart attached.

Hi group, first time I met Dan I was looking to buy a snow caster, seen a ad on cl, jumped right at it, went to his house about 8 - 9:00 pm so it was dark out, he opened his lit up garage and it looked like case heaven in there, I was amazed at all the case parts he had. and he was still tweaking on this machine, and i just happened to go by 1 of his rental properties while he was using this to clear snow a couple years later it was quit cool to see it in action.
