This Adams Road King has been in our family for many decades. My uncle is 72 and he told me that he ran it when he was 14. My dad used it to plow snow in a mobile home park. He said it would turn around in it's tracks and the Cat 11 they had would not. They sold the 11 and kept the Adams. Dad put the tractor tire over the left rear drum to keep the snow from building up on it. We pulled it with a TD9 track loader. I recently moved it from Iowa to my home in Arkansas. I plan to restore it and maybe my kids will want to keep it in the family when I'm gone. I used to have an Adams 12 but sold it for gas money so I could take a girl on a date when i was 18. I have never seen one as big as this one. I would love to know if there are more out there like it.
