Just got myself a nice old Oshkosh heavy haul tractor. It's not as bad as it looks- the guys who owned it started restoring it, did most of the hard stuff, and just never bolted it back together. All the pieces are there, including a monster Tulsa hydraulic winch. It's got a good running 335 Cummins , 5 speed Allison with retarder, and a 2 speed box behind the Allison. Anyone know how to ID old Rockwell rears? The tag on the top reads 175 604 6.58, the lower tag says 04640 HAPX 6.58 6-77065, with 4-67 stamped down in the corner.
Thats gunna be a beast!
oh yeah
oshkosh is the sexiest truck ever!
You're right, it looks like it'll be like new......... the inside and xmission and engine bay, brakes, frame etc. look nicer than the cab.....you're gonna have a like new truck it seems, i'm jealous!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta love trucks like this! That would make a fun daily driver! John
Cool truck, no doubt about that. What model is it, sorta looks like a modern day P Series, but it's not. Have fun with it!
Put a couple of wheels on the Oshkosh so she'll roll up onto the trailer. Getting those drums onto the spindles is no joke! Those 12.00-24's ain't light, either. Got a truck and trailer load of parts while I was there, too. Just about everything seems to be there and in good shape. I'll have her home soon √
You ever drive one of these? Earmuffs are a must as is a kidney belt! It's cool for about 10 minutes lol!!
