The FF don't have a "toy" forum, or a "collecting" forum so I wasn't really sure where to put photos of TOYS Snow Tracs! I figured I'd put them here simply because all the other Snow Trac discussion is in this forum.
I know of only 2 toys ever made to commerate the Aktiv Fischer Snow Trac which is a snow tractor that was made from 1959 to 1981 with approximately 2000 real units produced.
I have not been able to aquire, nor have I been able to source the cereal, but a breakfast cereal, which I believe marketed their cereal in Australia, included a snap together Snow Trac as a free toy in their cereal. Aktiv produced 2 different track designs, they had one version that had a large rubber tire at the rear fo the track, with small tires along the entire bottom edge. The breakfast cereal toy is modeled after this version of the Snow Trac.
Lesney MATCHBOX of England made 3 different versions of the Aktiv Fischer Snow Trac ST4. All were very similar in appearance, 2 of them used the same molds. All of the Matchbox toys are modeled after the 2 large wheel Aktiv Snow Trac; this version has 2 large rubber tires, one at the rear, and the third about 24" aft of the drive sproket. Lesney designated their toy #35 in the Matchbox series.

- Version 1 had the words SNOW TRAC embossed in the sides of the tractor
- Version 2 had no identification of the Snow Trac at all with smooth sides
- Version 3 had white decals reading SNOW TRAC on the smooth sides
