41chevy Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) Any of the mittary vehicle collector people on here have any thoughts on a 1979 AM General M917AO with Stecco dump, Allison and 400 Big cam and 30,000 miles. First time I ever saw duals on the lift axle.

Quickfarms Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 If memory is correct a m917a0 should be a three axle dump, no lift axle, with the cat trans in it Can you post some pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 That will be a fine addition to the farm. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be retiring my DM, it's worked hard for 48 years and deserves a rest. I need all wheel drive and the lift axle to clear the back 200 acres in Va. The DM as good as it is, just can't work in that acreage with out constant nudging from our machine. Plus my wife can drive it.
