Hippo

Here is a mobile HIPPO 2032E unit that I thought I would share some pictures of. Hydraulic, pneumatic and electric in one package - pretty slick. Been here a few days but the heat has been so bad I couldn't get out to work on it. Finally cooled down and now the tornado sirens are blowing so back to the basement - will give a better update once the PM's done.
Cheers!

Jealous!

Did you win that one out of md a few weeks ago? There was a full set up but went above my price quick

 

[tcody]

Yep - Fort Meade. Thanks to the GL gods.

That's a Volvo-White-GMC I recovered from Stockton about 4 years ago. Here is another pic:

Neat truck, OD with chrome and aluminum. What branch of service used it?

I like the COTS trucks because they are much more civilized to drive and unique vehicles.

Came from French Camp - I think it was Army,but not sure. I have seen one other like this. They had something like a genset mounted behind the cab. A nice easy to drive and fairly economical truck!

I was just questioning the Stockton because you lust your location as ILL. I have been to French camp several times picking stuff up.

A buddy of mine and I flew in and picked up the truck and trailer after a local dealer serviced it then 2000 miles of everything that can go wrong will - and we finally made it home 2 dayd behind schedule. Driving through the construction in the mountains west of Salt Lake at night was quite an experience!

Sounds like an adventure.

What dealer did you have service it.
