Are there any other stronger options? The engine in questions makes about 1000HP and slightly over 3100 ft lbs.

Does anyone has a tech spec for the 55000 series transfer case? What max torque is it designed to take?

I have a similar idea but with so-called interchangeable "Body Modules" setup, similar to those described in Soni's epic build One can always dream :)

Oldie but goodie. What an epic road trip :cool:

This build thread is truly epic, absolutely breath-taking and such a great source of information and inspiration (y)

Forgive me if I am talking a total bs here but how about using a two-gear auxiliary transmission box in a configuration changed 180 degree. This means that the output shaft is the input shaft. So, if the auxiliary box had, for example, 1:2 reduction, the 180 degree setup would reduce the engine...

Not sure if you are still on the project, I have not read updates for some time. However, if you are interested in making this V10 sing, perhaps get in touch with this guy in Poland. Whilst he is driving OAF 6x6 (Austrian military truck partially based on MAN KAT concept), he has experience with...

Hi, I will get in touch and explain in details what I am after.

Thank you for this very informative And educational post. I have not done this before so I am grateful for your comments. I give myself plenty of time to educate myself and perhaps 6-9 months to get things rolling. Should any other forum member wish to share their experience with exporting...

I have absolutely no desire to circumvent restrictions etc. All needs to be done according to the rules. All paperwork needs to be in place. This is also very important at my end.

Hi all, Are there any demilitarized military vehicle owners on here based outside the US which have exported their trucks to their respective countries? I am based on Europe (Poland and Switzerland) and have started investigating how to get one of the Oshkosh MKR18 LSVR 10x10 appearing from...

Hello everyone. Few weeks back I travelled to meet Kuso (I am now based in the same country) to see his Tatra 813 truck, chat and help a little with the refurbishement. I must tell you all, he is super cool guy, really chilled, no-drama type of person!

I wonder how this conversion ended up. Any info on it?

Tatra Kolos T813 in Switzerland must be a rare sight! Cool truck!!! I look forward to seeing the restoration progress of your T813.

Geof, do you know whether the integrated transfer case is one or two gear setup? I.e. does it have low and high gear? For example, the current Tatra product line offers an Allison transmission mounted together with an engine and then linked by a driveshaft to either single gear or two gear...

Hi Geof, Many thanks for your super interesting commentary and technical info. With regards to the TATRA service and operating manuals this is a no-go with Tatra in Czech Republic. They consider these to be their intellectual property and they do not share it unless you buy a truck. I tried...

Hi, I have seen the below truck for sale. It is formerly ATC truck (if the seller is correct) so it has the Twin Disc TD61-1177 transmission and Twin Disc 8-FLW-1750 torque converter. The seller has absolutely zero knowledge of this truck. He mentioned it had an Allison transmission but that's...

It would be amazing if you could check for any docs regarding the TD61-1177 transmission and 8-FLW-1750 T/C. Thanks

Hi all, I am looking for any technical info regarding these components: Twin Disc TD61-1177 and Twin Disc 8-FLW-1750 torque converter These were mounted in ATC Tatra 6x6 firefighter trucks (when they were sold in the US) and also in military trucks...

gearhead, What a cool truck!!! Do you still have? If you do, perhaps you could take more pictures (or share those already taken) of how the drive shaft between the gearbox and the transferbox is connected, on the transferbox side. If I am not mistaken, the usual Tatra setup is that the gearbox...
