tamangel- I have an FWD nearly identical as well but supposedly a 57' fitted with an 80's style Idaho Norland blower and 2 detroits. I am curious how your four wheel drive operates. Is it full time 4wd with limited slip sprag style bearings?

I dont have anything to help you with on the Ford/Marmon everything I have used and have experience is the SnoGo on OshKosh trucks with a smaller Cummins up front and a Straight 8 CAT in the rear fuel capacity of these things has to be around 500 gallons but with that said they can move extreme amounts of snow in a real hurry! Good luck these old machines truly fascinate me!
