I think I love this truck almost as much as I love my wood stove.

I wish it was, check out Dušan Priwitzer he has another dozen videos of the truck in action on youtube, amazing stuff I couldn't stop watching :-)

These days around where I'm at. They'd be calling for more ticket books cause they'd run out if they seen that. But 30 years ago my Brother had a 6X6 army truck with a Prentice F loader with a winch on back. Had more fun with that rig then we probly should've. I still have the loader & going to put it on something someday but not sure what yet. 8)

I have a Prentice loader I want to put on a 6x6 Deuce.  Do you remember how he was running the hydraulics?  I have a Detroit to run the Hydraulics but would rather run it off the PTO if it's possible.

My GMC with automatic with PTO that runs front winch. Put a sprocket on the shaft to run pump.

What I remember of the Hyd's on the 6X6 was,he put a pto on the side of the tranny. Think it came with a manual 4 speed with a cover on passenger side I believe for a pto.He also added a tranny for crawling speeds but would leave the second one in neutral & first one in the gear that pump worked best. Added oil tank & filters. Actually used it after we got a cable Skidder. Loaded trucks with it. Now my Son is eyeing it up to put on his Chipper.

I may have everything on hand to do it except the linkage from the PTO to pump.

I think he made bunks for the back out of a old IH single axle frame. Cut the sides at the places they turned up & wielded back with reinforcements. Worked good for putting the 8 foot logs in. Never broke off. Held around 2 cord. Good size load for that rig.

 Maybe revive an old thread with a new picture.............. I saw this beside the road the other day as I was going in to a job. Don't know anything about it except it's pretty neat and looks to be in good shape. He seems to be all ready for winter.
 He'll need it, maybe---------------in Florida, Mass.
