    M944A1 Mobile Shop Civilian Conversion

    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...

    M944A1 Mobile Shop Civilian Conversion

    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...

    Oshkosh MK48 MK18 containers

    . 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 . Operator's manuals for the LVS are divided by variant: · TM 08780B-10...

    I remember parting out a truck that had an 4 speed auxiliary transmission that went behind the normal trans. If you had the freewheeling hubs up front, maybe you could install the aux trans in the rear driveline where there is some room. Just have to remember to make sure it was in 1:1 when if...

    M944A1 Mobile Shop Civilian Conversion

    Clean looking truck. This thread is a great idea, look forward to seeing how it goes. I have one of these M944A1. The truck is in good shape, but it looked like they were going to put a different bed on it or something. Nearly all the hand tools were gone & the bed was barely secured to the...

    Oshkosh MK48 MK18 containers

    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...

    Oshkosh MK48 MK18 containers

    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...
