Yes there home made, my father removed the tracks and welded everyone of those cleats on so he could get better traction travelling cross the lakes. I believe this is the only U/C of the four that he did this with, which is the one George has.

Here is a picture of our back yard in 1947, looks like the setting for an invasion or a wrecking yard !
