William Smith wrote on Friday, February 29, 2008 (PST):My dad had a Jubilee with parts of 3 sets of half tracks. I pulled the wagon with a chain under the Farmall M and corn picker through the muddy fields to keep the picker straight in the rows. I have it now with many of the toys, including the half tracks, loader, cab, Navy bean puller, and buckets for the Dearborn loader.

Valley wrote on Friday, May 19, 2006 (PDT):Hi. I am from Quebec-Canada the home province of J. Armand Bombardier who invented this device. In his brief description Bob is right and here are two links that will lead you to the invention itself. The first one show you the invention in motion while the second gives drawings of the patent itself (responds to Nathan's question). The invention at work www.fjab.qc.ca/en/content/jab/biographie1949_1958.htm The invention itsef ; www.fjab.qc.ca/en/content/jab/brevets2.htm As a kid I saw many of these rigs on farmer' tractors and wood yard hauling in winter. I have a 9N and in process to buy one. Have fun! Valley

Lew Munger wrote on Friday, December 31, 2004 (PST):My father had a 1948 8n with a set of half tracks for it. This tractor was almost impossible to get stuck and when you did it was almost impossible to get it removed. He would this to do spring plowing, cleaning the barn yard out in the winter and most of all snow removal. I was glad to see this picture due the fact that no one I know has ever head of or seen half tracks for a tractor.
Jerry Herman wrote on Tuesday, November 05, 2002 (PST):Is their anyone out their that still makes tracks to fit modern tractors.
Pete Berg wrote on Tuesday, March 20, 2001 (PST):I am looking for a set of tracks or a manufacture of tracks for a tractor. I will be working in soft ground, swamp areas. Any help ... would be a big help. Company name, phone number, address, etc.
Ed wrote on Thursday, March 08, 2001 (PST): I have a set of steel lug wheels that bolt on the outside of the rear wheels. In the late 40's we used them to pull roots out of hedge rows. I've seen the front wheels 4ft. off the ground many times.9N

Ger wrote on Tuesday, November 30, 1999 (PST):I pull logs every winter with my 8N with Blackhawk (ARPS Corp.)halftrack. It works remarkably well-more traction, even in deep snow, than tires on dirt. It steers quite well using the brakes to assist and doesn't place much drag on the system. I'm looking for more info, manuals etc on the system.
Nathan wrote on Thursday, November 04, 1999 (PST):I would really,really like to add that system (ARPS halftrack)to my tractor.! I currently have landscaping tread a 16.5L-16.1 tires on the rear. And I HATE them. but they are easy on the yard grass, but lousy on snow, sand, and everyplace else that you need a little traction. So if anyone can send me plans or a source, that I'll motifiy to fit my tractor that would be very greatful.
BRUCE wrote on Thursday, September 23, 1999 (PDT):WHERE CAN I FIND TRACKS FOR MY 8N
Bob wrote on Sunday, August 08, 1999 (PDT):It appears that this would be a fairly easy conversion to make (from the pictures anyway) The track is near identical to the tracks they use on "Bombadeer" snow rigs. People use them too convert vans to snow machines to haul fishermen on Lake of the woods, Minnesota. They are made from flat conveyor belt and "cleats". add a front axle and some matching rims and you have a good replica.
