I am also ❤️ Rob will and is enjoying every second of it. He came home at 2:35 am last night 1-1-2025 sober as a church mouse happier than a kid in a candy store. I was just walking in my house as he drove by😊
I drove an Oshkosh for the Town of Franklin Massachusetts from 1980 to 1985 it was the best time of my life unfortunately after I left another employee drove the truck and backed it into a drainage ditch totaling the truck ☹️😢😭
I live in Vernon County, WI and remember when the big Oshkosh's would come out during a bad snow storm. They were so cool and maybe even somewhat scary to a young boy back in the 60's. I was told it took 2 men to operate, one to drive and run the V plow and another to run the wing. Thanks for saving a piece of history!
I can imagine being scared! Walking up to the Oshkosh is intimidating at my age! Rob had a conversation the other day with a retired wingman that ran the V and wing when our township had one as it does take two. I am excited to do a video on that. He said the biggest thing to know is not get stuck the hoist for the Wing on the right front will catch if your not careful. Who is going it unstick you when your stuck with something so big? $$$ I never thought of that but I guess as humans we will get anything stuck! Thank you for watching
Who remember when Hot Wheels made a toy of this? But the down side came later on when Dum A-- Kids started chocking on the plows after eating them. Thanks people for giving your kids classic Hot Wheels that we"ll never see again. Thanks for the post Rob.
I grew up in Norther Michigan in the snow belt along Lake Superior. When it was a bad winter with 300 inches of snow the county road commission would get the Oshkosh out. That one had tandem axels on the back with a 6x6 concrete block chained to the frame. The mechanic told me there wasn’t anything else to clear the snow. I heard it was a beast to drive. It had a huge V plow on the front to keep the highway clear all night long in case of emergencies. In one 8 hour shift it used 150 gallons of fuel. Lol!!!
Thank you for sharing this story. Rob is excited to get the speedo working however has mentioned fuel consumption isnt that bad in normal driving, I imagine once that plow hits the ground and starts pushing it starts gulping😊
@@stantaylor3350I was born and raised a yooper, went to college at northern michigan university and moved away. I still visit 3 or 4 times a year to spend time out in the woods to recharge my batteries. One year nine months and I will be retired, I plan on spending more time back in the U.P. During September, October, and November. My favorite 3 months in the U.P.
Our county in Northern Michigan has one with a V plow in front and massive wrecker bed on it. They still use it to pull out the newer plows that get stuck in the ditch during a snowstorm.
Thank you for sharing, a retired operator told Rob that the biggest thing not to do is get stuck due to not much around to unstick you especially if you are in a off the path spot. The Wing hoist sits low to the ground in proportion to the rest and was told at times that may have hung the retired operator up a time or two.
I grew up on the eastern end of Michigan's upper peninsula from 1961 to 1974, i think that all the plows for Chippewa County were these trucks. They were single wheel 4 x 4's with chains on the rear wheels and a big cement block over the rear axel. Seeing one of these clearing a rd with full 4 ft of snow bank to bank is a real treat.
I can only imagine that would be awesome to see. Here in southern Wi we see a average of 37 inches of snow per year. And about 3 so far this year. Honestly a good 20 inch overnighter would make for good footage, that is wishful thinking on my part. Thank you for sharing your story!
Rob, what a nice piece of history, the 62 Oshkosh M4906 lives again. Mad max would of be proud to drive-it. enjoy ur sweat ride. happy new year Rob and Family.
I now have the opening line to part 2, "The Drive" Imagine coming around a corner and seeing this in your face... I will mount some cameras as best as I can on the plow and try to get some footage in the wild😅. I had to check that ending out and you are spot on with that 🎥
It really does, we had nasty fog last night aRob left it out overnight, this morning I was 2 steps from catching it starting as I walked up the coffee can covering the exhaust came landing on the ground as it fired right up. Seems to idle really smooth for so much metal spinning. I am excited for the mechanicals driving and levers haha. Thank you for watching!
it runs so clean i am 71 and now i want one it only snows twice a year where i am in bc CANADA but i grew up in the 60s in ONTARIO CANADA back when it seemed to snow a lot more. this week Jan 2025 IN ONTARIO record snowfall brings back memories. i moved to BRITISH COLUMBIA IN 1996 they had a blizzard these locals lost their minds they closed the highways for 3 days i showed up to work at the wrecking yard my boss asked how i got there and why. we tried to pull parts till noon then he sent me home. i lived in a trailer park up the side of a small mountain the road was littered the hill i zigged and zagged in my 74 blazer 2 wheel drive with posi stretched frame with a mechanics illustrated home made camper i called the flintstone mobile as the fiberglass work looked like a boulder all the way to the park in front of my trailer there was a 3 foot berm i took aim shot through it landed on the almost bare spot from the night before.thanks for this video brought back some not great but lived through memories. i was 9 years old when she was brand new lol
Your well written comment is fuel to my late night fire. Thank you ❤️I really appreciate your story and how the sound of that smooth diesel can bring back memories maybe not the best but lived through, well said. I may come back to this as it really hits home. Thank you again for watching
I rescued a 1968 FWD 6x6 in 1985 I have put 19,500 hours on it and 189,000 miles on it since then. I replaced the Red Diamond 501 gas engine with a brand new 3208 Cat 250 HP turbo engine and I replaced the Fuller 5 speed with an Eaton RTO 6610 10 speed trans that I rebuilt. FWD/s are far Superior with all wheel drive full time torque Proportioned 3 speed transfer case and locking axles.. it's just too bad that FWD's break all of the time. The Oshkosh is specked a lot Heavier and is more reliable than the FWD is. Walter Trucks had an Ingenious system to transfer torque from the spinning wheel to the wheel with more traction. This Pateneted system is still used in Exotic performance cars today. I have a book in the History of Oshkosh .. one on the History of Walter and one on the History of Oshkosh too. I have two Oshkosh Trucks. One is an M-911 Tank carrier truck. I have an F Series Oshkosh with a 230 HP 855 Cummins that just purrs and an 8 Speed Eaton trans.
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing @mikeskidmore I am sure Rob will enjoy reading this! Thank you again for watching and sharing your story! I have yet to get a ride in the Oshkosh but am excited to make the next video!
@@RobsNeighbor I am interested in the Specs of the Truck. Opps I recently watched a Video of staring an old Oshkosh in AK it had a Super charged Cummins. I think it was a 1957 Model . I have a 1963 Loraine with a JS-8 engine 401 Cubic inch Supercharged Motor. My friend had an Oshkosh with a C-190 the same motor 190 HP with a Turbo instead of a supercharger. I will try to find a link for the 6x6 Oshkosh in AK Many older Oshkosh used a 5 speed with a 3 speed auxiliary tans the auxiliary also was the Transfer case. The Oshkosh book was written by Clarence Youngworth . He was an Engineer at Oshkosh for many Decades.. He knew how to look up most any part for an Oshkosh.. He continued going into work until he was 90 years old or more. I spoke with him on the phone a couple of times. About 14 years ago I stopped at Oshkosh.. They build a lot of Military Trucks and everything was top secret. I got in trouble for taking pictures of trucks that were being driven around the block on public roads and getting picked up and hauled across the Country on Low Boys. Then I went to the FWD Museum in Clintonville WI The Oshosh corp. was started by people who left FWD . FWD built a 4 wheel drive first, steam powered. Then they repowered it with a gas engine. The Ball & Socket steering Drive axle was invented and patented by the Blacksmith who started the Four Wheel Drive Auto Company .
Saw an older osh kosh like that for sale in central CA a couple years ago it was a plow but all the equipment had been stripped down to a cab and chassis
That truck that was sitting in the weeds would make an awesome welding rig...Oh wow and it is a 4 wheel drive at least until the front drive train falls off..lol....I should have been a welder instead of a biochemist...I guess there is still time..-John

Correct, when they arrived it had a straight plow on and there wasn't room on the trailer so it went in the box and the V plow was installed before they drove on the trailer. Good eye! Thank you for watching.

@RobsNeighbor also Oshkosh truck had a great archives on all the trucks they build, not sure if they still do it, because the guy in charge has passed away. What part of Wisconsin you guys at?
WOW!!..This thing is so cool!!!..I have been searching for one of those medium size Terex trucks but I am about to start on a project that will take up a quite a bit of time...I have been sourcing metalworking and woodworking machines to start the build of my 1928 Morgan/GN (MG) special...here is the original that exists in England and is still raced to this day..th-cam.com/video/W9QMa7AUD-4/w-d-xo.html

Oshkosh by Gosh
What plows are on it? Could they be either Frink, from Clayton, NY or Viking, from Harrisville, NY?
All of the blades are made by wausauequipment.com/
This is stated at the bottom of their plow page.
"Wausau heavy-duty “V” plows are built for opening and widening deep snow"
I have to double check measurements but feel this truck has the VX58100 that weighs 3,050 lbs
Many Oshkosh that were fitted with plows in the Midwest were outfitted with Wausau plows given their close proximity to Oshkosh
Thank you for watching
And that V blade weighs how much?
According to the measurements of the one on it comparing to the dimensionally same plow Wausau still makes they have it listed as 3050lbs... When you say it like that its literally a C4 Corvette hanging off the front! Thank you for checking it out!
that's when big trucks made for a series of tasks made well USA union workers Amen beautiful after 60+ yrs a workhorse in its hayday
Well said. Thank you for checking it out. ⚒️
