have the same blower setup on my 1957 FWD all wheel steering with a in line six 578 cid gas in front and a 335 cummins tubo diesel for the blower . Great old truck , has 9000 original miles on it, but if you consider that is like blowing snow from here in MT to Dawson , Yukon and back twice---lot of miles.

I was expecting a pull start for that noisy old engine not electric. That blower engine sounds great!!!

I would expect deeper snow to show its ability

Cat D13000 Engine, inline 6 cyl.

The engine was definitely a CAT but it looked to be an inline, could not tell if it was a 6 or an 8 cyl. The truck I am pretty familiar with in this config is an OshKosh WT2206, its got a 6 cyl CAT in the front and a V-12 CAT in the rear producing around 850 HP. I am not positive what the snow rating of the 2206 is but I believe its around 3500 tons moved per hour. Most of the Military blowers were the 2206 in this config and they were setup to run 10 hour shifts between operators and after the 10 hour shift was completed if the truck was used to capacity for this time that cost about 650 gallons of diesel fuel! The truck is one highly effective beast to say the least!

This is definitely an FWD product. Oshkosh truck copied anything the FWD corporation made or put out and they were never as reliable as FWD.

Nice video! Beautiful BEAST! I'M pretty sure I saw some snow quivering in fear as you started her up. But why was she sleeping out in the COLD?

Needs a longer snow chute, engine aircleaners will draw snow in and burn up the engines.

Whose idea was it to put the ladder there? Cool old truck!
@bebo55583 жыл бұрын
I love that old girl, but why would you put a ladder right in front of the access door, for starting the engine?

Largest road snow blower correct? A railroad rotary throws about 3 times that volume ish.

It is a gasoline powered engine. Not sure that cat made gasoline engines but it is definitely painted cat yellow although I have also seen non cat engines painted cat yellow before
