I have this 1929 AA Doodlebug that my Grandpa built when my Dad was 8 yrs old.Dad is now 76 ! It still runs and I am going to make a new blade for it to push snow this winter!Dad has had it the past 16 yrs since Grandpa passed away and has cobbled some stuff up on it so I am rebuilding it back to the way Grandpa had it.It started out as a 1929 AA dump truck.
In Columbus Ohio there is a resturant called "The Spaghetti warehouse"
Back in the day it was the "Columbus City Ice and Fuel" which made the HUGE blocks of ice for home and business.Grandpa built the doodlebug at the plant(he was head maintanance) and also built an elevator that ran off of the PTO to move coal from the rail way to the plant.Later he took doodlebug home to his farm and then to his home in Mt.Sterling for the next 60 yrs.
I remember climbing around on it when I was a little guy and thinking "WOW This old tractor is BIG"
OK enough said!
1924 DODGE: In July, 1923, Dodge Brothers made its most radical styling change to date. Wheelbase was extended to 116 inches, louvers placed on the hood, and the entire car given a lower appearance. Automatic windshield wipers were added in 1924, the same year that Roy Chapman Andrews took three Dodges on a 10,000*mile, fossil-hunting expedition into China and inner Mongolia. In 1926, a two-unit 6-volt electrical system was introduced.
