(quoted from post at 03:55:30 10/03/18) Quite a machine, but I still think a road grader is
better value for a county?s dollar. Plough snow all
winter, grade road all the rest of the year.
(quoted from post at 07:57:13 10/03/18) Like the ones the AF used to use on the runway at K I Sawyer AFB in Marquette MI, lots of snow at times but that SAC runway was NEVER closed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(quoted from post at 21:01:19 10/02/18) Most likely a Cummins in that truck. However Cat and 2 stroke Detroit diesels have also been used.
As john achmann mentions, older Oshkosh trucks were equipped with Hall Scott gasoline engines. Blower drives also would have been Hall Scott, though LeRoi and Buda engines were also used.
A local museum has on display an 800+ cubic inch V8 LeRoi power unit salvaged from a 40's era Oshkosh snowblower. The engine is HUGE!
(quoted from post at 14:20:36 10/02/18) I have seen pictures of those with a blower. Engine mounted behind cab with drivetrain going down and forward. A real "Monster Truck".
(quoted from post at 18:05:34 10/02/18) It has likely been retired to plowing parking lots in a mall by a private contractor.

(quoted from post at 14:27:54 10/02/18) Probably push snow better with snow tires on it, and chains
(quoted from post at 14:24:15 10/02/18) That is one heavy duty truck. Not saying much for the top cylinder mount. Looks a little under built. I guess it works. Stan

Nice truck, very clean. What year is this one? Sorry if I missed that in another reply. I live a few miles west of where it was parked. A friend in Wisconsin has a brother works for Oshkosh. Always interested when I see one.
