Roadless traction Ltd Was founded in 1919 by Colonel Phillip Henry Johnson, a brilliant engineer, to exploit the Tracks that he had worked on during the First World War. Between 1925 and the 1950s Roadless built crawler and half track conversions tractors based on several makes of tractor. From 1953, the company built 4-wd conversions based on Ford tractors, as well as some other makes, from the 1960 till 1983 when they went into liquidation. The firm was revived for a short time but then the new owners also went bust and tractor production ended.
