G'day George,
That is a very interesting model. Are you saying that the other screw has been lost? It looks like it's made from galvanised tin with the blade soldered to it, so perhaps a replica could be made. But then again - there's so many other things (like vehicle restoration) that could be done instead, and not enough hours in the day  Steve.

German screw drive tractor
Steve: You are right when you said no time . I put 350 machines in a museum .Mostly farm machines I am now restoring 13 military vehicles .and that's a slow process ,but most of them are close to the paint gun . This model is made of galvaize tin and solderd up The bottom is aluminum where the bearings go and the chain is like a byckle chain but the links are different .The windows are magnifying glass and I'm not sure how to fix them as they cut the holes bigger and to fix them with out painting it would be hard .Tow little boys that wanted some things that they didn't need George

Can't see it mentioned above, there was a modern version (designed and driven by Adrian ?, Hadrian? from the UK) that was the first amphibious vehicle to drive across the Bering Straight. Amazing what you can learn from Scrapyard Challenge.....

Wow that's a pretty amazing video of the Fordson snow motor.... esp towing the two big wagons of logs....seems to be highly manouverable as well...
As George says, wonder why it didn't take off? would have been good in the north and seems a better option than say the Bombardiers that came after in terms of tractive power and certainly manoueverability... although the Bombariders offered protection from the cold
