David,   First, I must congratulate you on this site its awesome.  Second, I have a mystery for you.  My father recently purchased this "thing" as I call it.  It sort of looks like a early cat crossed with a golf cart/dump truck.  It is white and possibly red.  The seat was a red bench type seat.  It has a frame over the seat area for a canopy.  It is driven by a 9 hp Briggs and Stratton motor (not sure if thats original).  It has a gear shifter in the cab area that comes from under the seat area.  It has three pedals I'm assuming throttle clutch and brake.  The rear is a tandem axle the front set of tires are a duel set and the rear set is a single tire they are approximately the size of golf cart tires.  The rear tires are bound by a rubber track.  The front tires are steered via a steering wheel they have a set of skis that can be set under them for snow use ( much like the old cats).  The rear of it is much like a pick-up truck bed with a hump in it for the motor.  There is a single head light in the front.  At one time there was an emblem on the front that was attached by three bolts in a triangle pattern.

      I hope that this discription may help you it figuring out what this thing is. Let me know what you find out.  Steve Leauber  --   sleauber@dejazzed.com
