Aircraft tugs

[monkster]

I Have tug that came Scott Field from the Late 60s early 70s. I want to post some pics but can not get them to down load. We traded the Air Force some fertilizer spreaders to spread salt and we got this tug. We used it and abused it, and this is whats left, if I could get some pics to take.

I hope this worked was only able to get one to down load.

That unique cab should be saved.

1010plowboy just posted pics of one just like this that looks pristine in the "MV Spotted" thread. That would be a show stopper in a parade or MV show. It's sharp in a different way.

SAVE IT!

Yes save it! yes that is a unique cab

I have more pics, there has to be a easier way. We nick named her bertha (bertha butt boogy song had just came out) She is fired by a 6 cly Buda gas fired motor (locked) w/ a two speed transfer (missing rear axle). We cleared 50A and used it to pull stumps and logs.

There was one at the airport in Livingston MT that ran, along with a huge oshkosh Snow plow.

What is that cab based on

It looks like they welded two cabs together.

If you do not save the tug that cab would make a start for a neat project

 

[monkster]

The cab is based off a International truck or Diamond T of the day, so I been told.

Thats really cool...you should try and save it if it isn't too far destroyed!

Where did the rear axle go if you don't mind me asking?

Here at Tinker AFB there are two of those tugs and they have been converted into mobile Blast fences . They have filled the cabs wth concrete and tow them around the ramp to the engine run areas. The tugs are named Big Moe and Little Joe !! I will try and get photos when I see them again

Get some pictures of them if you can.

Take a 105 trailer and fit the cab into it for a VERY unique small camper............or maybe not.

I thank I may have rear axle but if can rember we ether strip the ring gear or broke a axle. I can see it being used as a blast fence, fully weighted she would be at 20000#. We have been using the weight with the staps for anvil.

I'm sorry if this is an ignorant question...but what would the rear cab doors be for? I'm assuming a bench seat for the pilots of the aircraft being towed?

The suicide doors are really cool...the shape of the cab almost looks like a civilian power wagon cab as well!
