I know the feeling and sadly can’t even vote for mine but the other one does also have a crane

Definitely some good ones, but I have developed a soft spot for Air Force Blue vehicles.... Good luck to all!

 

[Migginsbros]

Yes, it`s a crew cab.



Edit: This is our 1975 Unimog 406.145 aircraft tug. Powered by a straight 6 cyl. direct injected Diesel engine.

I upload the video on YouTube and then copy the link into my SS post....

I hope you figure it out soon... I’m looking forward to it!

Howdy from Arizona! This fine piece of military machinery is the the flagship of our motor pool. It started off life as some iron ore buried deep in the ground, some miners dug it up, processed it into some giant steel pieces and handed it over to Kaiser who transformed it into this monstrosity of a wrecker. J/k (kind of)
Our 1970 Kaiser Jeep XM816 was purchased late last year and is now ready for service after some minor mechanical reapairs (IP rebuild, lubrication, brake overhaul) lighting install, and tire swap. Not a lot of action pics yet but here’s some of what we have of it so far. Thanks for letting us nominate her!!

Voted, best of luck to you all!

Build for tugging airplanes

but you can also drive in rough terrain with the full lockable 4x 4 drive.
Pics are from climbing Devils Hill Field Station Berlin on formerly skislope. Today and in the 1970th.

Heres a few pictures of the M925a2 in the snow a few years ago and it pulling a hemat trailer with soybeans.

 

[Migginsbros]

Some snowpics,too.
....to bring this thread on top of "Today`s post"

 

[Migginsbros]

........and some fun in the gravel pit.



Migginsbros UNIMOG 406.145 with 5.7 l engine 85hp

 

[Migginsbros]

Can´t believe that today is the beginning of spring looking out of the window.



The chained wheels are already storaged.

 

[Migginsbros]

It´s a little bit like a COE Cab over Engine. Most of the engine is lokated between driver an passenger knees.
The engine is covered with the"doghouse" the rear view mirror on top.



A special feature this UNIMOG has is the rear lower window behind the backseats for better look at the coupling.



Migginsbros Unimog 406.145 aircraft tug: Torque converter for smooth tugging , 6 speed foreward, 2 reverse , manual shifting to 4 wheel drive and
full mechanical lockers.

Aghumvee won my vote this month. Great crop this month

Migginsbros UNIMOG 406.145


After years in towing on airfields (like his brothers)



our UNIMOG now is retired.

Now this fine machinery is used for multiple other things to manage, often with family and friends.

 

[Rmtaunton]

Btw also great for hanging out with friends , or just leaving them there
