My m915a1xm1

[Parker2]

I bought the m915a1 tractor from another Florida member earlier this year. I finally got to work on it a month or so ago. I stretched the frame 4 feet and added another 5 feet to the rear. We then painted it and put on super single wheels and 46" xml tires. Then we topped it off with our 3,000 gallon hydroseeding machine.
We put it to work for the first time this week and everything worked perfectly. I am very happy with the results.
What do you guys think?
Sorry no pictures of the work being done.

Does it have the CAT or Allison tranny in it?

Love the adaptive re-use.

Does it have the CAT or Allison tranny in it?

Based on the intake hole on the hood, single air horn, and turn signal light guards, I'd say it started as a M915A1 - Allison.

Thanks for the comments guys. Yes it has the Allison tranny. Loaded the truck is around 50,000 lbs. and moves with ease. It has plenty of power and the load is easy for the truck. Empty it is around 26k lbs. and in need of an air seat. Loaded its nice and smooth.
The only things I am going to add is a/c and an air seat. We cover the entire state so some of our drives are long ones.

AV8or thanks for the deal on a great truck. I was going to pm you but I see you found the thread.
