T-Head 23 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) On The Old Motor you can learn all about The Walter Snow Fighter. An early powerful brute of a truck made in New York that plowed highways and airports. Stop by and see an incredible film we have of one in Upstate N.Y. plowing 5' of snow. Two clips of the cool film we have posted can be seen below. Edited January 7, 2013 by T-Head (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites

KenHupp20 15 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 One was sold at Kemp's Auction ( Hillsboro,NH ) a few years ago. Link to post Share on other sites
Bhigdog 3,020 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I wonder if there are any restored examples. It would be a big hit at the Macungie truck show in June. BTW, there is a longish film clip of one in action on the Practical Machinist site forum............Bob Link to post Share on other sites

Bhigdog 3,020 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Out of curiosity I googled Walter trucks and there is a ton of info and interest in/on them. Surprisingly (to me) Walter was bought out By the Kovatch Organization, a fire and emergency truck manufacturer located a few miles from me. My son worked there for a couple of years. Small world..................Bob Link to post Share on other sites
Seldenguy 13 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 There's a close look-a-like in a field, the next town away from me, an "Oshkosh". They were more popular around here than the Walter. --Bob Link to post Share on other sites
