I don't know if it was ever posted here, but I'd like to show you those bizarre helical traction vehicles. Apparently, some people made screw propelled vehicles in the Ford T era and some australian company named "MudMasters" make one now. Enjoy the weirdness:

Hahahahaha.

I thought based off the title that you were saying "screw" propelled vehicles, as in fuck those type of vehicles.

hahahaha

He don't know me very well, do he?

I kid, it's been a while since we've had them. The Rooskie one is a bit more modern than the Model T era, quite a bit.

See also here for some of the names, dates, etc. Quite a few of the screw-drive Fordsons are out there, I think - probably the easiest for someone to actually get.

I almost put a pun on the title, but this was totally accidental!
