no sorry. the chet - m911 but i'd take that one too.

Can this still be viewed? Anybody got the link?

I was going down the I-25 thru denver a while back and saw an oshkosh: 6x6x6 wheel steering, independent suspension on the rear. Hydraulic rams for the suspension. Planetaries. was pulling a matching trailer with good sized matching wheel loader with a backhoe attachment in place of the...

Lets start over with axles. In my limited experience I usually snap the shafts and rarely bend the housing. So what axles have planetary ends on them and what trucks do they come under, gvwr and top speed?

12' wide 14ft high(or less)

How much?

M-1070 HEAVY TRANSPORTER "the M1070 tractor has front- and rear-axle steering, a central tire-inflation system,"

What are you saying? That DOT limits steering axles to 15k? I'd like to see proof of that. But I wasn't looking to cross the scales anyways.

I can't find a m1070 for sale anywhere, plus i couldn't afford it. What other all wheel steer all wheel drive vehicles are there? I'd like to find something in the tractor style as apposed to the 8x8's. I know the little chevy aircraft tugs were, but would like something a little bigger. Surely...

What about a rear 45k winch, or even better, just the winch case? Its for a m816 if that makes a difference

Wow, really? Anybody know what that winch weighs without the wire? Just curious, i didn't know there were any aluminum 45k's

Thats a neat modification, but a nightmare for crossing ditches. I like the ladder on the boom. I would like to see hydraulic outriggers on the sides like on a backhoe or a real crane. I saw a couple people say it can be modified to rotate 360 but didn't see where anyone actually said what it...

here is a dealer i ran across in texas. He has a m816 with 5 times the mileage listed at $16,500 and sold so i guess you got a good deal. http://www.texasmilitarytrucks.com Do you guys know if they could run duel wheels on the back with that tire/rim combo? They were all originally duel...

oh well, it won't be the first boom they've bent. and certainly not the longest. All the m816's have 45k rear winchs right? Thats a big winch. What are the odds that there is other internal damage that caused the case to crack? Or is it like the aluminum deuce winches that crack if the wind...

TM 9-2320-260-10 Operator's Manual for Truck, 5 Ton, 6X6, M809 Series (Diesel)

These are considered class 8 rigs, correct? Has anyone been hassled by DOT for driving them without a CDL? I would imagine not, unless its obviously being used for commercial purposes. Are these the best tm's for this truck?: My connection is slow, which one is crane operation most likely to be...

Sorry, I meant 20k, not 20 tons. Has anyone actually bent a boom? Is the winch capable of bending it while running a double line? I'm guessing its not made of just mild steel. What will it pick up fully extended? Anyone know? I searched for a thread that was informative about these specifically...

Thanks for the replies and encouragement. Its from Texas and going to Oklahoma. Thats where they are. I'm in Colorado on the front range. Now i'll have to visit more often. So can it pickup 20 tons with the crane fully extended? Is it okay to rotate under full load? What else would you guys to...

I've wanted to get a truck for a long time but haven't had time, room and $. So the next best thing was to get my dad and brother to buy one. For $8k I think they got a good deal, not $.02/lb but i'm sure its good for a wrecker. It looks really cool, I'm sure some of you have seen it. It says 7k...
