Last year I bought a OSHKOSH WT2206 retired Air force runway plow truck. Someone on this site had posted a picture of it on here about 24 hours after I got it home to my shop. I found out about this site when I did a search for more info on it and was shocked to see a picture of my truck on here. Well we named her SNOWZILLA "The largest snow plow in MD" Well after the massive blizzard in MD in 2016. Snowzilla kicked ass and took names going threw 31" of snow. Including some 7' drifts.
Well I told myself I need a WT2206 with a snow blower. Well after searching for months. I finally found one being sold by a school on craigslist of all places. So I present to you BLOWZILLA. She is a 1960 WT2206 with a sicard BX series blower originally gas powered both upper and lower. She was rebuilt in 1985 by oshkosh and repowered with diesel engines. The blower was rebuilt by idaho northern, they converted the twin augers to a single high speed ribbon auger. She has a 1693 cat to move her around and a D348 V 12 upper just for the blower. That D348 is 800 hp from what I was told. It has a whooping 798 hours on the blower and 3300 miles on the truck. She is basically like brand new. I did find a sticker on its purchase cost $591000 on the side of it.
All I got to do now is play the waiting game. She has several contracts already with the State and county for big snow work. In the mean time its a heck of a conversation piece for my snow plow dealership. Snow plow customers love looking at it. They all want to get their picture taken with it.
