M656 gets a lift from it's MUCH younger brother

[Stalwart]

I delivered my Ford M656 to it's new home 110 miles from here. It got a ride behind another Ford, just 39 years younger. It was sad to see the old girl go but I'm happy for its new owner, he seems to love it.

Glad you found a buyer for it. That's a great truck/trailer combo for moving MV's. Did you go across the scales today? Just wondering what you grossed out at.

If I go by the numbers I know and the listed weight of the 656 I was at 32,000. But if I use the numbers and the scale weights of the 656 I had from the "dump" I was at about 34,000. Not quite the 35,500 I got below.

I don't stop at scales, I drive by 'em.

The 656 alone should be about 17,000 lb (a little extra for the bigger tires)...

Right on Bjorn, I think got a weight just over 17k when leaving the dump empty. It worked the F450 pretty hard but it didn't complain.

On the good side I got to see the truck move from the outside for the first time and it was really cool to see it go through some kinda swampy area in 4 wheel drive, I only used 8 by to get it on my wet steel decked trailer.

That is a nice truck. Great looking 4 color camo!

It was an AWESOME truck and fun to drive. I loved seeing the look on the new owners face after his first drive, he looked elated on how easy it was.

The paint was worn out but being aluminum, he can take his time, it isn't going anywhere.
