At the Fernley auction I posted about earlier, there was only one partial picture of the auction lot that you wouldn't recognize if you had not seen the Southwest shop units. The description said it was a trailer, so I assume it was the semi trailer model SGPRSMD.
I need to contact TNT Auction...
At 90, you could get lift off if you put the wings out. I was bidding online for some drilling equipment yesterday & was surprised to see a semi trailer version of this come up. There was only one picture, so you couldn't tell what shape it was in or what sort of tooling it still had, but it...

I was able to at least track down the right TM numbers for the MK18 & MK18A1.
The Olive-Drab is a pretty good site for information- it had the TM information listed below - http://olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_lvs.php

I haven't found one yet. If I do I'll make sure to let you know. I'm planning to use the MK48's in the drilling business for projects we have out in the middle of nowhere. What are you doing with them? Looks like you have jumped in with both feet in Jacksonville and Mechanicsburg. You...
Are you referring to the MK18 or the MK18A1? I'm sure there are pros & cons for each, but the "hook" of the MK18A1 seems like it might be more versatile. Either one should be able to handle a standard 20' container, but the A1 might be able to use some of the newer LVSR/PLS system flatracks...
That sounds like a great looking package going down the road. There is a thread going about swapping an Allison tranny with overdrive into the A3 -sounds promising if it isn't too expensive.
RE the Hiller- I worked on remote drilling jobs in Alaska in the 1970's. The first season we were...
