It's got to be!
Absolutely... It balances out the weight distribution perfectly.

Front PTO

Appears to be a 540rpm shaft .. are these capable of snowblower duty?

 

[Migginsbros]

To the front plate you can attach the snowplow and the rotating brush. Yes the brush is driven by the 540/min pto. You can steer up/down ,left/right and float with the hydraulic system.
We have both, it's the original equipment for the aircraft tug.

It sure isn't easy to pick just one this month...

Cheers

Some fun at an amateur tractor pulling......

but no chance vs. the big boys.

 

[Migginsbros]

If we have to go for more than 100 miles, we piggy back the UNIMOG.

The MAN F2000 with tilted cab. The Crewcab of the Unimog can also be tilded for better access to engine and trany. But you don´t want do do it, without a hydraulic pump like used on the MAN

For a short time almost 20 years ago, the M51 was bedless after some factory welds failed .. ... .. Anyway, the M51's "bedless" look also gave me the opportunity to re-create a scene for a viet-vet friend who was with 597th Trans and 588th Combat Engineer .. The trailer pictured is an all-original beer trailer, and M52's sure were seen occasionally with commercial trailers in-country... He joked his time with the 597th was spent drinking the beer he hauled.. (but his 2nd tour, spent with the 588E, was quite the opposite experience)

Logged in too late, too much going on. My vote would have gone to msgjd.

Always love to see an M51 doubling as M52. Below my M51A2 in both versions. Normally its an M51, but I can switch to M52 and back in an hour or so.

thanks .. during the years prior landing an M52 and the M818's, I was looking into obtaining the pieces to switch my M51 back and forth, it's easier to convert an M51 to M52 than the other way around... Procrastination (or just being too busy) works well when something better-suited eventually could fall in our laps.. Don't feel bad ! ... I didn't vote for my own truck, I voted for the awesome migginsmobile !!
