Nice, a job I worked at had one like this, they said you have to be careful about your height of the augers, theirs ,if ran too low, would start to rip up the asphalt in the parking lot. haha, Have fun with your new toy.

Awesome piece of equipment. I wonder why they felt desert tan was a good option for a truck to be used in the snow?

I believe that is "Oshkosh plow" yellow. Most of the plow/blower trucks were that color, from what I have seen.

Aaah, that makes sense.

 

[crasheej]

They were yellow. Are yellow.

I have seen a few in camo A town about 15 miles away just got a plow truck that is camo, This one is faded yellow. Yes straight stack on front motor right through the hood, good ear muffs with plugs inside required.

Nice find!! I own one of these myself and have worked it for many years up here in Chama NM. (7860ft above sea level)

I don't have a manual either, but in my opinion it would not do you all that much good anyway, because they all have been rebuilt/modified in different ways since 1945!
These trucks are pretty straight forward though and not to hard to work on. There are a few tricks (like the blower clutch adustment) that I've learned over the years, so if you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask.

Keep us posted and keep sending pics if you can!

Here are a couple of "action pics" of our unit, plowing snow to open up the C&TS Railroad in the spring of 2008.

Btw....This plow is rated at 3000 tons of snow removal an hour!!!

We are not worthy!

It is just a "tool" James....
