Strangest 6.2l powered vehicle

[NH2112]

I was doing a little work on this thing yesterday and thought I'd take a pic of it to put on TDP. Sorry about the quality, I used my phone to take the pic LOL

Looks like a "GOAT" for towing large aircraft around???

[NH2112]

Close enough! We don't use it to tow them very often, just to push back from the gate. This one's normally used by JetBlue for their Embraer 190s. I only know the model because it says it on the plane LOL Other than easily-identifiable ones like 747s and 727s, I only know REAL aircraft - C130, C17, C141, C5, B52, KC10, F15, F16, etc :D

Is that water or oil under the pusher?

[NH2112]

Water, from me cleaning off a lawnmower I'd been working on earlier - not a company mower, but hey, I came in on a day off because our normal Saturday guy left for another job. 1/2 hour spent installing a drivebelt and cleaning a mower isn't unreasonable :p

Neat pic, dude - that thing must weigh 25000 lbs - is it mechanical hookup, or hydraulic motor hubs?

[NH2112]

Mechanical with planetaries, a lot like a Lull. I'm trying to remember what it has for brakes, but I'm pretty sure they're not wet like on a Lull. I'm NOT looking forward to changing glow plugs on it, since there's about 1" on either side of the engine. Good thing they're 60Gs!
