Fordson crawler kit?

[Appleattic]

Wandering through a bone yard, I came across this collection of tractors. There appears to be a crawler kit on one of them, look at left side of photo. I am not very familiar with old tractors, but found this interesting. Anyone have any info on it?

Mfg plate does not have much information. I don't know if this unit might be for sale, is a private collection. For my curiosity, is this a kit mounted to an old Fordson?

I think Roadless were one track Co that fitted tracks to Fordsons.There were Fordson half-tracks that were made,as well as normal crawlers.

Thanks for posting the old add. That helps a lot. Any idea of how many of these were sold? The guy who has this stuff doesn"t do anything with with it, and is getting older and possible looking to start moving this stuff along. Any idea what the kit may be worth in its current shape? Location is western Colorado, by the way.

I would suppose that is an interesting find, not often seen, though the condition looks rust, hopefully that motor is complete and not open to the elements. One thing is for sure, don't let the scrappers get it LOL !
