The Generals a 1975 M816 Military Wrecker. The boom will rotate 270 Degrees, 45000# winch on the Back, 20000# winch on the front. Boom is rated up to 26000# depending on how we have it set. The General tips the scales at 36000#'s

She is "10" wheel drive, but will get stuck, and the winch will pull 10" trees right out of the ground when shee is really stuck!!!

To make you cry, I bought her for $1000 thru a federal surplus program, fully operational. the purchase included full tool compartments, and equipment worth a couple grand.

My uncle traded something (he mentioned what but i cannot recall) for a 2.5 ton army truck. Has the Hercules engine that runs on gasoline, diesel, kerosone, jet fuel, avgas, piss, scotch, etc. Actually drove it to Arby's with teh GF last weekend. :jester:

Idea: Replace my truck with a deuce and a half that's been upgraded with heat. Tow my camper on vacations with it, then when I drop my camper drive around in it. When too much snow for :gB:, drive it to work. :jester: No I don't think that would work.

[stonehenge]

So wait. Those trucks are like baer grillz. They can go anywhere, put up with harsh conditions, and run on piss?

[theholycow]

Sun's going down...better piss in my own gas tank.

Hey, now there's a reason I should get one of those: I could get rid of all my unusable fuels.

[SarkOzy]

I wouldn't want to drive one for more than 10 miles. Wanders all over the road, shakes violently at all RPM, confusing transmission, etc.

[stonehenge]

prob :gB: is similar with all of caos haxx

[theholycow]

Nah, it's not too bad. Engine isn't smooth like a modern engine, and is a bit noisy. Ride is straight and smooth. Transmission no confusing for cao brain...

also runs about 65 mph too. would be neat to upgrade one with heat ac good seats a better gearing and poss faster engine. be like big rig then.

[theholycow]

Would not want to replace a runs-on-anything engine with a more powerful engine that accepts fewer fuels. Would want to work on the gearing issue though.

[stonehenge]

more powerful = won't run on malk

Been inside one of the big shovels they use similar to that thing. Boring as fuck to run one all day though.

[Barrrf]

I could see that being boring. They just sweep back and forth scooping dirt. Its probably ALL programmable. The ops job most likely consist of monitoring operations of the scooper.

Still big and cool though.

[shootermcgavin003]

yeah its cool to watch. its all automated but you have manual controls you can use also. at least the one here does.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

sadly when the mines go out they just cut them up for scrap and part them rather than reuse them

[Barrrf]

too hard to move to another mine imo

[shootermcgavin003]

yeah thats what they say. hate to see it scrapped though.

[theholycow]

BRB going to end-of-life mine to drive one of those things home.

Need a tow?

http://www.zoresindy.com/admin/uploaded_pics/Big-Semi-Tow-Truck.jpg

[theholycow]

Seen that first one before, awesome.

What would one tow with that wrecker?

[shootermcgavin003]

other big rigs

[theholycow]

Obviously, but not sure why so big...I've seen plenty of big rigs towed by trucks without that axle that has the super singles on it.

Ok, actually, on another look I think it's not a wrecker or at least not a regular one. Now that I'm actually awake I see that it has a telescoping, turning boom. Either it's a general-purpose crane that looks like a wrecker or it's a wrecker for recovering severe rollover/ditch type stuff. I think those yellow things on the bottom are outriggers.

[shootermcgavin003]

it is for loaded trucks the local place has one similar

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

80 tons of coal be pretty heavy. you add 20 ton truck. thats a 100 tons.

[theholycow]

Why the telescoping, swiveling boom for that purpose?

A wrecker for towing a loaded semi around here looks like this:
http://www.bobstowing.com/images/photos/wreckers.jpg

Heavy haul around here is 125,000 pounds, not 200,000 pounds so I can see having the extra axle but the crane equipment doesn't make sense...you damn well aren't aiming that thing off the side of the wrecker and extending it 40 feet to tow 200,000 pounds down the road.

[shootermcgavin003]

id iamgine for over the hill recovery and shit

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

the local place has a 3rd axle telescoping truck like that. alot of mtns here so id imagine thats why.

[theholycow]

Interesting. I can haz one?

[stonehenge]

I was thinking the same thing, that way you have one vehicle to recover and tow the wrecked truck instead of needing a crane and a tow truck. bamf

[shootermcgavin003]

thats what goes on here. never seen a crane used to recover a truck.

[Willy]

They are basically small cranes.
Example of different tow truck:

http://http://www.bobstowinginc.com/wp-content/uploads/lg-gallery/Fleet/slides/BobsTowing005.jpg

I kinda have to wonder how practical these are compared to a regular truck crane.

Either way they are bad ass. I love big truck and equipment like that along with cranes, fire trucks heavy haul type stuff etc.

[shootermcgavin003]

thats exactly like the local places minu theres is red

:whoa: do all 4 front wheels steer?

:bitchin:

[shootermcgavin003]

the red one they do its based off a military truck. the white one only has the one front set. thats how the one here is. its a basic kenworth.

[stonehenge]

what red one? I'm talking about the white one in the link i quoted

[shootermcgavin003]

the white one you quoted just has two wheels up front foo. its them superwide hd wheels

---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

one rick posted original has two set of wheels that steer.

[stonehenge]

wat... foo click the link, there are two axles up front. One in front of the door, one right behind. Check this angle, pretty sure they both steer: http://www.bobstowinginc.com/galleries/Fleet/Bob%27s%20Towing%20006.jpg/

[theholycow]

:whoa: Is that thing seriously hoisting those cement trucks? Those fuckers are heavy as fuck.

[shootermcgavin003]

my bad i thought you meant the other white one that one didnt load on mine. thats like ricks red one yea both steer.

[theholycow]

Just noticed these old posts...

Nah, it's not too bad. Engine isn't smooth like a modern engine, and is a bit noisy. Ride is straight and smooth. Transmission no confusing for cao brain...

Update: After exhaust manifold repair, engine is smoother than the average modern engine and quieter too.

I remember they used to pass the Dakar Rally on speed channel back in the day and I loved to watch it because of the trucks.
