    Grease points video from USMC

    Air operated PTO

    +1 I'd love to hear more info on that truck, I've got some business interests where I've thought of getting a military truck and adding a roll off / hook lift system on it (I work for a local garbage business.... and we're 100 miles north of KC, so there is no competitive overlap with that...
