We have one of those on WSAAF.. it has a D348 V12 CAT for a blower engine, and when you have her wound up and a full head of snow it just sings. Love the old iron👍🏻

[@skycowboy_7391]

That one with 29,000 miles still under factory warranty for 71,000 miles 😎

Steering wheel is for the rear wheels. Rear steer means you could almost turn 90 degrees. Operated them in Plattsburgh, N.Y.

[@Dailydieseldose315]

Ah, that makes sense now that I look at the gauge again.

[@DTD110865]

The auxiliary lights are very modern on these.

[@brucet8033]

Logged a lot of hours in these in the 70's at Griffith Air Force Base, outside of Rome NY. Rugged machines, I found the steering wheels to be huge, especially compared to my small car daily driver. LOL Spend 10 to sixteen hours a day in this and drive a vehicle 1/10th the size for the ride home. Upper NY State used to get huge amounts of snow, not sure if they still do.

[@Dailydieseldose315]

The snowfall is still heavy but not as consistent and doesn't last for long once it falls.

[@TheNyarcangel]

I need this for plowing my driveway

[@N2NDF]

The second steering wheel on the first on was for rear steer....

[@Dailydieseldose315]

I definitely got more wrong about this truck than I got right.

[@raymondj8768]

and the stick on the dash of the other one was rear steer to lol

[@simonrichard9873]

Its not a V12. Its a 6-71.

[@Dailydieseldose315]

You're right. I don't know what I was thinking.

[@kiphenricksen4056]

Holy smokes! That means it must have another 671 on the other side of it then!

[@kiphenricksen4056]

The Olympic National Park in Washington state has a few old Oshkosh blowers and they run huge V12 Cats in them.

[@brucekwak2420]

How much is a new one cost Compared to the ones that you push with a front end loader

[@SteveKluver]

This is a great share again! I wish now that I would have watched it when I got the first notification on my phone.
Is someone from +DailyDieselDose going to the sale, and can tell us what these end up going for?
We are working on a large-ish Truck project, and now after having seen this, I am now conflicted as to whether we are on the best course! : - )

[@Dailydieseldose315]

I went to the sale but left before bidding completed. I can provided you with the auction company information if you like. They might be able to tell you the ending price.

[@SteveKluver]

Thank you, I would like that.

[@SteveKluver]

I just sent Eric an email.

[@jacobbrake948]

I drove one of deese in DAH core when I was a jar head , I nicknamed it YODA DAH MASTER Of DISASTER

[@rodindish7160]

You say "not as cool" but the ribbon blowers works a whole lot better that the 2 auger ones

[@SebastianWarth]

Works this Old Awesome Oshkosh Snow Blowers!!??

[@TheMetalButcher]

You haven't watched enough snowplowing videos if you didn't know those had Detroit. xD It's how the city people know their tax dollars are really being used.

[@hydroaxop73]

The blower on first truck I think it's a sicard

[@joecamel587]

6-71 not a v12

[@edwu8253]

These are beast

[@josephrand5167]

just curious what the one that says scrap went for.

[@Dailydieseldose315]

Sorry, I didn't hang around until the end.

[@KWsandman]

yeah Henderson lost the contract to Viking

[@Dailydieseldose315]

Correct. Completely new setup all around with trucks and gear.

[@KWsandman]

IMO Viking equipment is a downgrade from Henderson

[@HarryHov]

these are still for sale are they??

[@Dailydieseldose315]

No, they were sold on the day I filmed this.

[@localcrew]

I want one.

[@curiousinct38]

[@Dailydieseldose315]

Cool. They all seemed like solid machines. Staying in NY?

[@curiousinct38]

Very good machine! It's in CT now

[@smartycummins2500]
