That thing's cool and it make me think of a bunch of things that might be worth mentioning. I saw one of these machines parked up on a mountain pass in Colorado 25 years ago. It was in rough shape and it had been vandalized a little bit, but apparently it was still in working condition and ready to do the job when needed. I think the truck in that case was made by Ford (a VERY rare example of a heavy-duty truck from Ford having four-wheel drive). There's a county shop not far from me that has one of these parked out back. That truck is made by FWD, but the snowblower machinery is the same as yours. I've seen a couple other FWD trucks equipped the same way. In the 50 years I've known about the first of those trucks, I don't think it's ever been used, but the shop apparently is keeping it "just in case". I live in a medium-sized city at the south edge of the snow belt, and the city used to own a number of these snowblower trucks. At that time, they would have been either Oshkosh or FWD trucks, but I never found out which, since it was before my time. I've seen pictures of these trucks clearing paths through massive drifts back in the 1950s and early 1960s, but they were mostly used for removing the big "windrow" of snow along the edges of the crowded streets of downtown. In that latter case they were equipped with an extended chute with a bend at the top so they could shoot the snow downward into a dump truck that was traveling alongside. The city still has snowblowers that can be used this way, but they are much smaller, self-propelled units, and we hardly ever get enough snow for them to be needed anymore. I think that four-wheel steering is primarily to allow the option of steering via the rear wheels only. That's a handy feature when plowing (or blowing) while keeping the edge of the machine right at the edge of the pavement while rounding a curve. The Walter company of New York State used to equip some of their plow trucks with rear-wheel steering for that very reason (they were strictly rear-wheel steered and did not have all-wheel-steer capability). Oshkosh offers all-wheel steering on some of their plow trucks at the present time, and when plowing it apparently can be handy to "crab" the truck (which wouldn't be the case for snowblowing). I've only seen one truck like that, and that was a plow truck at the local airport. Speaking of airports, the local airport has a couple of modern snowblowers that are virtually the same as your machine but they are custom-built from the ground up as snowblowers, so the snow-blowing machinery isn't mounted on the back of an actual truck, but within a specialty vehicle. Oshkosh currently builds such a machine too, which is not truck-like in appearance even though Oshkosh is primarily a truck company. Years ago, Oshkosh made a bunch of snowblower trucks that were pretty much the same as the one you have. It looks like the manual throttle (that's what it's called) for the truck engine was an add-on feature. That surprises me, since most trucks of that vintage came equipped from the factory with one, and this would be especially handy on a machine that needs to be driven like a tractor when it's working. Apparently the previous owner recognized the problem and installed the thing! QUESTION: What's the explanation for that gear-shift pattern for the transmission indicating 3 speeds, but with lever positions for 4th and 5th added to the diagram by hand? Does that reflect an upgrade to a different transmission from the original, or is there something strange about how the transmission is set up? Also, the diagram to the right shows High, neutral and Low, just like a typical transfer case but it's labeled "auxiliary". If that's truly an auxiliary transmission which is meant to be shifted "on the fly" during normal operation, that would mean that the transfer case is single-speed. That's certainly possible, but it's not what I would have expected. Sorry to ask such questions but this is an area of interest for me.

@ericl2969 8 ай бұрын
This topic cracks me up every time. There are millions of examples of old trucks which wore out, but usually they wore out a lot sooner than today's trucks. You just don't see those old trucks anymore, but they existed. The machine in this clip is the perfect example of something that SHOULD still be in good shape after all these years. It worked at an airport, not on highways, so it never was exposed to road salt. Even if it had seen some use on highways, it would not have been out driving long distances on salty roads, and probably not on salty roads at all, but instead it would have been only in fresh snow and then it would go back to the shop when done. And being used for snow removal and nothing else means that it spent 99 percent of its life sitting inside a heated shop, and since the shop crew likely had at least a few weeks each year where there was not much to do except take care of the equipment, it would have been well taken care of. Then, it spent even less of its time working during the years since the original owner sold it, and that was probably 40 or 50 years ago. So of course it never wore out. Consider that modern heavy-duty trucks commonly last to well past 1-million miles with no major repairs. City busses are expected to last far past 1-million miles, and that's with nothing but stop-and-go city driving. That's a record that NONE of the trucks from the old days could ever come close to reaching. When people say "They don't make 'em like they used to", the correct reply is: "They never did". It's true that modern trucks are a lot more complex and there are more things that CAN go wrong, and many of those things require more than the primitive abilities of a shade-tree mechanic to fix, and that's something that makes me sad, but in terms of capability and longevity, NOTHING that was built in around the same time as the machine in this clip even comes close to the trucks of today. Heck, that's even true of cars. When I was a kid, anyone who's car hadn't totally worn out and rusted out by the time it reached 100,000 to 120,000 miles had something to brag about. Junkyard cars almost never had more than 100,000 miles on them. Nowadays, any basic car with 100,000 miles on it is almost indistinguishable from one that's brand-new, and I know quite a few people with pickup trucks or SUVs that have 400,000 to 500,000 miles on them and they still run great, and most of these trucks have never even needed a major repair. My dad used to tell me that cars from the 1940s needed a "valve job" every 30,000 miles or so, and re-boring the cylinders was always something that was needed if the vehicle ever reached high mileage. Even into the 1950s, needing a "valve job" was still a very common thing that anybody who didn't regularly trade-in was familiar with. Again, there are modern vehicles which have gotten so complex that the durability hasn't kept up with with other "advancements", (GM's 5-cylinder inline engine that's put in small pickups and SUVs is a perfect example, and making this situation even worse is the fact that you need to mostly disassemble the whole front of the vehicle to do the repairs), but if you avoid vehicles with such obvious issues as that, there's no reason you can't put half-a-million miles on the thing before you even need to think about replacing it. If you don't want to run it that long but still take proper care of it, when it reaches 200,000 miles you can give it to one of your kids and be confident that it's a far better vehicle than anything you had when you were their age. NO car from "the old days" could compare to that.

I really enjoyed your vid. I was born in Indiana and we visited Indianapolis to see family. I vaguely remember the Marmon-Harrington name. No idea what it relates to. There was a Marmon car that ran in the Indianapolis 500 Races. Great to see the old stuff still "strutten their stuff".
@ericl2969 8 ай бұрын
Marmon-Herrington still makes front axles and transfer cases for medium- and heavy-duty all-wheel drive trucks. If you see such a truck that has planetary reduction in the hubs of the front axle and constant-velocity joints at the steering knuckles (both of these features can be recognized at a glance from quite a long distance away), the axle is probably made by Marmon-Herrington. Look for the "M-H" embossed on the hubs and on the front of the differential case.
