no sorry. the chet - m911 but i'd take that one too.

Can this still be viewed? Anybody got the link?

I was going down the I-25 thru denver a while back and saw an oshkosh: 6x6x6 wheel steering, independent suspension on the rear. Hydraulic rams for the suspension. Planetaries. was pulling a matching trailer with good sized matching wheel loader with a backhoe attachment in place of the...

Lets start over with axles. In my limited experience I usually snap the shafts and rarely bend the housing. So what axles have planetary ends on them and what trucks do they come under, gvwr and top speed?

12' wide 14ft high(or less)

How much?

M-1070 HEAVY TRANSPORTER "the M1070 tractor has front- and rear-axle steering, a central tire-inflation system,"

What are you saying? That DOT limits steering axles to 15k? I'd like to see proof of that. But I wasn't looking to cross the scales anyways.

I can't find a m1070 for sale anywhere, plus i couldn't afford it. What other all wheel steer all wheel drive vehicles are there? I'd like to find something in the tractor style as apposed to the 8x8's. I know the little chevy aircraft tugs were, but would like something a little bigger. Surely...

What about a rear 45k winch, or even better, just the winch case? Its for a m816 if that makes a difference

Wow, really? Anybody know what that winch weighs without the wire? Just curious, i didn't know there were any aluminum 45k's

Thats a neat modification, but a nightmare for crossing ditches. I like the ladder on the boom. I would like to see hydraulic outriggers on the sides like on a backhoe or a real crane. I saw a couple people say it can be modified to rotate 360 but didn't see where anyone actually said what it...

here is a dealer i ran across in texas. He has a m816 with 5 times the mileage listed at $16,500 and sold so i guess you got a good deal. http://www.texasmilitarytrucks.com Do you guys know if they could run duel wheels on the back with that tire/rim combo? They were all originally duel...

oh well, it won't be the first boom they've bent. and certainly not the longest. All the m816's have 45k rear winchs right? Thats a big winch. What are the odds that there is other internal damage that caused the case to crack? Or is it like the aluminum deuce winches that crack if the wind...
