Link above is an OSS film covering one of the first models of Weasels. It's the T-15 which had 18" track. The M29C was the last in the series with 20" track. It's pretty interesting since they briefly show other snow vehicles used in trials as well as the early Weasel being used with gliders and para-dropped. Last thing they mention is an improved Weasel which looks like an M28 from the shots.

The M29c is listed as having a track pressure of 1.9psi, and that's with the (heavy) floatation tanks!
As soon as I can get back into the Regimental Museum I'll ferret around in the archives for references to Weasels or 'weasel-like objects' -and if I'm lucky there'll be a record of body and Canadian Army numbers....
