Drove new toy home this week looking for manuals for Oshgosh WT2206 with Blower reman in 1982

Nice 2206 Bro, it's gonna love the fuel pump I Garonteee!!!!
Give Clarence Jungwirth at Oshkosh a call he'll set you up with the manuals (not cheap) his number is 920-235-9151 Ext 22-311. make sure you give him the data off the tag on the drivers side door. That is a Sicard BX blower and a car eater so be careful. You should be able to get engine parts for the D-348 engine in the back but all the military engines have different part numbers, so call your Cat dealer and tell him you have a military engine spec. You'll need the arrangement off the side of the engine block should be a tag by the starters some where. If not on the lower block on the other side. Enjoy.

Yes mine says that to, but Clarence Jungwirth @ Oshkosh looked up the real DoM by the frame numbers. He said that the military (Airforce) bought most of them in 1945! Then they got re-powered and overhauled multiple times.
When they re-powered them, Oshkosh gave them a new manufacturing date, apparently they felt it was enough of a change....

The 2206s were started in1956 and ran till 65 with a rebuild about every ten years after that.

Isn't yours a w-712? not a WT-2206.

 

[JimM37]

I believe that is "Oshkosh plow" yellow. Most of the plow/blower trucks were that color, from what I have seen.

Its called chrome yellow # 1320

You are SO right....my bad! Mine is a W-712! Thanks for correcting that....

 

[M920]

Well.... at least I know now who to call, if I run in to trouble with mine!

Thanks for all the good info!
