Just got myself a nice old Oshkosh heavy haul tractor. It's not as bad as it looks- the guys who owned it started restoring it, did most of the hard stuff, and just never bolted it back together. All the pieces are there, including a monster Tulsa hydraulic winch. It's got a good running 335 Cummins , 5 speed Allison with retarder, and a 2 speed box behind the Allison. Anyone know how to ID old Rockwell rears? The tag on the top reads 175 604 6.58, the lower tag says 04640 HAPX 6.58 6-77065, with 4-67 stamped down in the corner.

Put a couple of wheels on the Oshkosh so she'll roll up onto the trailer. Getting those drums onto the spindles is no joke! Those 12.00-24's ain't light, either. Got a truck and trailer load of parts while I was there, too. Just about everything seems to be there and in good shape. I'll have her home soon √
