DIELCO Crane Services in Las Vegas purchased a M1070 HET last year and replaced the transmission; the owner was gracious enough to allow one of our local Chapter members to borrow it for local parades & shows as long as it wasn't being used on a job. It is in amazingly good shape and has low miles/hours.
Several months ago, they were the high bidder for the M1000 trailer out of Texas. It turned out to be quite a bargain, as it only required 4 new tires/wheels, and 1.5-days of work for the company welder to straighten out & repair one rear loading ramp, as well as a few side tie-down brackets. Other than that, it was in excellent condition and everything works.
I got to drive it a few miles away from the yard this past weekend, and I was amazed at how well the trailer tracks the path of the tractor. Backing it was easier than I thought, since the trailer wheels turned; just a little steering to set the general direction & I was able to back through an S-turn to put it back into its parking space.
Both of these are an incredible setup, and DIELCO hopes to have both at work very soon, moving some electrical company transformers through some very tight areas.
Many thanks to the owners of DIELCO Crane Service for their continued sponsorship of our local chapter and the use of their M1070 HET.
