I think it is safe to say that is stretching or exceeding the fording abilities of those vehicles

that looks to be a standard light duty grille guard-push bumper like you'd find on many tow trucks (1-ton size) you could try a company like AW Direct Push Bumpers

most aircraft systems are 28 volt. from what I understand the CUCVs were stripped down versions of the civi vehicles, with an extra alternator & battery for 24 volt starter and military radios

I'm thinking there were a couple different versions of the 530, one was a structural pumper, and one was an airfield crash truck (which needs pump & roll) unless you wanted to get the same setup as the crash truck, I think you will have to go the auxiliary pump route (small gas/diesel or...

very cool rig Dirt, have you ever seen the write up the VanNatta Brothers have done on the M123? he owned a couple for his logging concern out in Oregon that he used to haul heavy equipment and gravel dumps around. well worth reading, and he compares the M911 with the M123A1C tractors...

a 4 door HEMTT cab on a bobbed 5 ton?, might be an interesting challenge (not the shoebox they put on the TFFT either

not to be a salesman or anything but Northern Tool sells kits to make a dump body out of most any truck bed, just choose by the size (bed length = load capacity). the kits appear to be DC electric over hydraulic, and have the cylinders, pump, hoses & hinges needed, so I would think you could...

nothing wrong with seeing them parceled out by the USFS and picked up by some fire departments and used for low cost brush trucks or utilities aside from the fact that there will be that many less of these trucks for all the MV enthusiasts to pick up from GL... hmmm, wonder if I can score one...

i believe the Soviets came up with this as a rescue vehicle to traverse the marshes in some parts of the country such as Siberia

cant sell this vehicle, as it belongs to the state, of which I'm an employee of, it's not a bad vehicle, so long as you realize it is a series of compromises, and i highly doubt there is anybody who is qualified to repair this vehicle here (not likely the state will spend the $$ to find an...

seems there is a small bolt that holds the linkages to the block and acts as a pivot point, it vibrated loose and dropped out, main air regulator leaks and has to be adjusted daily, backhoe seems weak in digging, may be a regulator on the hydraulic system, and it does seem a bit underpowered overall

possibly it was the squad vehicle from an engineering squad??

I have one here at work FL DOF we use as a excavator, we got through FEPP surplus, still in CARC, it is a 1987 model that has a 2002 rebuild, labeled as USMC, it didnt come with any of the hydraulic tools, backhoe works ok, but seems a bit weak, the front loader is alright, a few problems with...

Re: Brush Breaker

or just ask me about it, as I was formerly a firefighter for that dept and had some small experience with breaker 462
