Brand new too, built in 1/06, and only has 27 hours on her, the seats in the cab still had that "new car" smell. Whaddaya think?
Found these in storage compartments under the seats, joystick units for working the boom controls.
The heart of the beast, a brand-new Caterpillar C12 engine
Front winch and crash bumper
Check it out, fully independent front and rear suspention, bet this handles a lot smoother than the solid axles on the deuces....
Walt's hand there gives you an idea how big that block and hook are.
Air intake and exhaust pipes and filters, deep water fording would be no problem as long as you kept it below the roofline
Crane boom and spare tire
All the storage space you could want
The back end is just loaded with goodies, the yellow plug on the left is the plug on the end of a reel of cable for a 120V generator, the one on the right supplies compressed air, veteran MV truck folks will recognize the composite lights as the same kind from the M35's, as well as the trailer air gladhands.
Drivers side crane / outrigger controls, battery box and fuel tank
This baby is loaded, it's got a push-button automatic tranny and a full range of cab climate controls,
Sharp-eyed folks will notice the rifle holder on the driver's side door, and those rubber seals on the doors not only make the ride a lot quiter, but also provide NBC protection.
And CTIS, with pre-programed hot button settings for loads of over 2 tons, under 2 tons, no load, cross-country or highway settings
