Thank you all very much for your comments and input on my questions you all have been very helpful. The 819 platform is definately the way im going but i may do a few mods to make it easier to do what i need ie beef up a few things without compromising original design ect. A civie awd platform...

One other question, who actually manufactured the crane on these trucks? I cant seem to find a straight answer ive read garwood made them but info points to garwood going out of business in the 30s? I know with specialized equip you cant just go to the local parts store and get what you want but...

73m819 thank you a bunch for your input. Since you have done a heavy lift with your truck you had the info i was wanting. In my business caution is the name of the game if we tear something up on these dozers we eat the cost and dropping a $100,000 motor and wiping out a truck isnt an option ill...

Im kinda partial to the military 6x6 for the simple reason is it is designed to do basically what i need it to do and its just cool haha. There are civvie 4x4 service trucks but in reality they're just bobbed 5tons w weaker axles

What i really am looking for is the all wheel drive with the ability to swap tracks,motor ect on dozers in rough terrain the service truck i have now has a sidemount crane rated at 10,000 lb at 12 ft nearly vertical the problem is getting to the work

But u hafta reach over the track and rotate about 90 degrees to clear to set it down and swap it out

Thats the only way id ever pull a v12 out of a d10 is having the boom as close to vertical as possible as with anything on the big dozers

Also i only get about 30 miles away from base 80% of the time and have a road truck for the 20% so no issues there just wanting a severe duty truck i can actually get to the job without needing a dozer to drag me to it.

Wreckerman893, the mines i work in have good hardpan under about 8 inches of slop for a single axle mechanic truck w welder and crane mounted on service body front end is pretty light makes it hairy going anywhere haha

I might b able to adjust to the 6300 lb limit with 95% of what i do but a cat v12 is pretty heavy out of a d10 can use two trucks np

Shoot.. Thanks a bunch what other mv would actually handle the weight im needing?

Hello i am a heavy equip mechanic i deal mostly with d8 up to d11 cat bulldozers in coal mines in so ill and the service truck i currently have isnt worth a dime in the mud i get stuck on flat ground when it rains haha. Coal mine mud is worse than trying to drive on axle grease. My question is...
