military 5 ton plowing snow part 2

She whistles while she works!

That is one of the best sounds ever heard anywhere for any reason. Even through phone speakers it's delicious 😅

Unless you push snow ,it is hard to appreciate how much snow he is moving . The control he has is absolutely beautiful to watch

[@JoeMcFarlanesgoogle]

+1 that's incredible power to clear the entire stretch there in a single pass. It's the right rig for the job

[@fredbiden868]

that was a Massive amount of wet heavy snow and never spun out or lost Power...what a work horse they were..

[@branonjohnson8617]

The torque and traction it took to make that push!!! Thats some wet, sticky and heavy snow to push without having it roll off your blade! Those trucks are beasts!

[@Z-Bart]

People ask me all the time, "Ray, what's the best 4x4 for snow plowing". I always answer, "a 6x6". Lol.

[@titityytyler01]

And i always answer,” 8x8”.

[@Radagast49230]

Proper answer: tracks are better than just about any number of wheels

[@LoneWolfSnowplowing]

it's actually 10

Why do they ask you? Are you some sort of all knowing plow God? Ooooor things that never happened for $500?

The old 5-tons and deuces are capable of so much work...

[@elijahrobinson2362]

Must be some awfully short (numerically high) gearing in that old unit. Love the turbo whistle and when it’s spooling down afterwards.

[@robertnorthrup1914]

Ha, I remember the army in Nam as a signalman. But when we were shutting down operations I was assigned to drive a multi-fuel deuce n half for about 3 months. The horn on the deuce was an electric “meep, meep” so drove over to the junk yard at Cam Rahn Bay to grab a set of air horns off a 5T tractor, mounted them in the grill and aired them thru the port on glove box to a tire fill gauge wired to steering column was a real Rube Goldberg setup but boy did it let those on the road know you were coming and you meant business. I had a blast driving it all over the Dong Bah Tin and Cam Rahn areas.

[@kagnewmp12]

I was a Military Police Sergeant stationed in Germany from 1978 to 1982 and while assigned to a Hawk Missile Company outside of Wurzburg they sent several of us to another city and we brought back about 15 of these 5 ton trucks which also included a few of the 5 ton tractors. I drove an almost new 5 ton tractor which was fun to drive but believe me when I say these things without a trailer behind them could run over a pencil lying on the road and shake your teeth out. I did love that whine of those low range powerful engines. A great video and worth subscribing to.

Hello from Würzburg! :-)

[@kagnewmp12]

@@oliwei86 And hello back to you. If you live there you are so lucky as I loved Wurzburg. I used to walk downtown for hours looking at the beautiful shops and sites and the parks by the river where I used to watch the Men washing there cars by hand and I washed my car as well I definitely loved to walk into the different Gasthaus and order Schnitzel and Pomme Frittes. If I remember the German I learned I would ask for. "Eine Schnitzel Mit Pomme Frittes Bitte" Please forgive me if I'm not correct. I also lived in Rimpar for awhile if that's correct. I would also take the wonderful trains just to go site seeing.

[@jeffbarta5632]

I drove these before the turbo were installed. We were so jealous of the guys with the "Hot Rods"

[@sandy5548]

I believe the 5 tons used Mack -300 hp after cooled engines which gave it that sweet whistle sound,(I drove MACKS for years, I know that sound !)

[@majmikecalnan]

I believe the whistlers are Continental multi-fuel engines.

[@sandy5548]

The early multi-fuel engines didn’t have turbo’s, Duce & a half later models did .all 5 tons were turbocharged.not sure if the 5 tons were continentals later models used Mack’s.

[@MarkusKim]

Love the Turbo Sound :)

[@nj2033]

I LOVE the noise of the turbo spooling up... Torque on that thing!

[@luvr381]

This is why we got a 35hp 7' snowblower to replace our plow blade for the road to our camp, there's just no where for the snow to go.

This is sick. It's amazing how much power you could put down using the chains

[@richardswann5300]

Traction, not power !

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

@@richardswann5300 I wonder if English is your first language. "...how much power you could PUT DOWN using the chains" implies traction from chains.

My buddy had a truck like that, it was an awesome machine. He used to run it on used motor oil he would get for free from the quick change shops.

[@Cigarsnguitars]

Every "Northern" locality, based on avg snowfall amounts, should have at least one of these. State DOT’s should own a few too.

[@jlindsey8613]

Miss those old trucks, heaters sucked and wipers never worked and always a fan favorite, love the no power steering

[@Alarix246]

This is a great show of the power. But I guess it would be more efficient with the arrow-shaped plough, right? This plough is for less snow for sure.

[@chipburns4123]

I miss those 5 tons a lot. I don’t remember which one it was. The automatic or the manual but if you had it in 6x6 and went into reverse it would explode the differential.

[@t.j.mccleary2907]

It’s the automatics. The transfer cases are not designed for lots of torque in reverse, and once they wheel hop one or 2 times they explode. Ask me how I know 🤣🤣🤣. Expensive and a labor intensive oops.

[@jfawkes6422]

It wasn't having it in 6x6 that was the problem - it was if you shift into reverse with the transfer case in low. There is a plaque on the dash telling you not to do that...and I think some might have had a lockout mechanism to prevent it from happening. I actually have one of those trucks. It's held up great so far as long as you follow the those directions.

[@chipburns4123]

@@jfawkes6422 yeah. The automatic or the manual was the one. One was ok but the other one wasnt. I used to drive and live in them!

[@danielmclay2480]

Pretty sure that’s a 2.5 ton m35a2. I have one myself. The original multi fuel diesels engine came from the factory with a whopping 133 hp and 330 ft lbs of torque. It’s amazing what that 133 hp will do with the gears that are in them.

[@TGMbroseph]

This looks to me like the M54A2, a variant of the M39 series 5-ton trucks. Observe the length of the hood and front fenders, significantly longer than the m35 platform trucks. Also indicative is the drum-style fender mounted air cleaner, not present on the m35 series, as well as the stepped bedside. Both the m39 and m35 series trucks could be fitted with a Continental multifuel engine, the m35s used the LDT-465, and the m39s the LDS-465-1A, both turbocharged, with the 1A motor making 175 horsepower.

[@freeman8r]
