Would the suspension allow too much body roll?
True. There will be a bear minimum of 3.5 tons in the hook gear, and probably more likely over 4 tons which could be jettisoned.Drop the hook lift system off would shed a fair bit of weight.
Would it still be to heavy with all that removed? Atleast anyone with a hammer and a spanner set can fix it unlike a modern truckTrue. There will be a bear minimum of 3.5 tons in the hook gear, and probably more likely over 4 tons which could be jettisoned.
Was looking at landrovers and got distracted then thought of this thread http://www.mod-sales.com/direct/vehicle/,26,/38544/Foden.htm
Oof!!!
Do you think she would turn back into 12 meter bouts?
Modern trucks don't really need much fixing. You are too young to remember, but you used to frequently see wagons lining the side of motorway whilst they were fixed or recovered These days the hard shoulders are empty and modern wagons are only usually seen to be broken when their tyres give up.Would it still be to heavy with all that removed?

I would think the 150hp is a typing error. I have only ever seen Oshkosh trucks fitted with 350+hp Detriot 2 stroke screamers.There’s a hell of a lot of stuff there in that Oshkosh but whilst I’m not sure which model of Cummins engine that is, I’m certain it’s not got enough power. Maybe 150 hp
It would make a great base for something, only 3000 miles!!
I've only had a quick look, but I don't see any Oshkosh for sale on there. What am I missing?Oh, ok. I don’t know anything about them. Could be more but it’s only 17 gross.
Certainly wouldn’t want a Detroit screaming away at me. Been there, soon had enough of that!
You wouldn't want to spend all day in thatHow about this bad boy for making a spreader? A very good source for drivetrain components if nothing else!

I wasn't thinking of it being suitable in its current format! If you cut all its surplus steel away, shortened it untill the axles almost touch then fit a body, you would be left with a powerful enough and light enough machine that didn't scuff on turns and had a lot of rubber on the ground.I'm not sure my customers would want that on their fields for one minute!
But you're right, lots of useful chunky bits there.
