Had an opportunity to put this truck to work. Pushing back a few banks along Skyline Drive & Fountain Street

Mr Walter will be delighted that his invention is still in use in the 21st century, effortlessly "Fighting The Snow" again, to the embarrasment of modern technology. Congratulations to the engineers/mechanics who have maintained this wonderful machine from the 1940's.

Man if that wind blows like that all the time, this would be a never ending job. Regardless that brute of a machine handled it well. Thanks for sharing !.

They used these a lot in Madison County until the early 80s, then the combination sanders/one way plows took over. Now that is all you see. they're fine but if you get a good storm, you need a "V" plow and a good truck. Some of the towns around here keep one in reserve for when we get a really good blow. During the '60s, this is all they used, even to just "sweep" the roads. The sanders were mounted on their own trucks. No combos then.. and always two in a truck. Now the driver has to run the wing as well. I prefer the older days myself.

Grew up in Chittenango. The town's Walters ruled the day. Snow feared it!

That is just a bad-ass truck.

Seen some videos on here from Saskatchewan Canada where there using a 6x6 Western Star truck with a standard blade and wing on the side. The driver had to keep turning the wheel to the right because the snow was pushing the truck to the left. They need V plows like what this Walter is using

They was a great truck. Had a weak driveline but as long as you didnt get spinning and get jumping they would walk through anything. Many have been stranded with broken axles though.

The short bed of the truck usually is filled with a poured block of cement the exact dimensions of the bed. Its planted for sure.

What vintage is this? 70s? Older? It looked like it effortlessly went thru the snow. Reminds me of living on the farm in South Dakota, seeing the only thing on the road - a snow plow. Thank you. I smiled as I watched this, recalling years gone by.

Does Walter still even exist?
@devildoc2254 жыл бұрын
No. Long since gone. These trucks that are still running, are maintained by the towns by buying old trucks for parts. The parts are getting harder and harder to come by. The last Snow Fighter made, went to an airport in PA. That truck is now in private hands, and is in pristine condition. The airport took exceptional care of it. The last real plow trucks made, are by Oshkosh.

Awesome Video ! Kind of weird being painted dark green instead of orange or yellow

Cayuga County also used an off color on theirs. The one that came out our way was an untouched (engine) 1936, 903 cu in gas continental. Last I saw it was the winter of 75 76, I wasn't around after that I presume they took it out of service because of the gas price increases. My best guess.
