I built this truck on a dare. Every body said it would not work, cause you could not get power to rear axel. Well there it is, all the axels are Dana 60 and all three pull. It is the most awsome pulling thing I ever got to drive. It has a new style 6 354 perkins ( 200 HP turbo charged, and a air to air aftercooler), Has 285 Clark 5 spd, Brownleep 3 spd aux, and two speed transfer case.The transfer case is out of a M-37 Dodge Military, F-800 u-joints to transfer case and 1410"s after that, Has a total of 16 working u-joints when it rolls. Has 10 285-75R-16"s and $$$$$$$, does not wear tires at all. Has 6 wheel Disc breaks, and will stop on a dime. I am Really prowd of this thing, Cause they said it would not work. Has made 2 trips to Indana,to bring tractors home, and going to make another real shotly, to Red Bud, Ill to bring a third one back. 1800 C Oliver Jack
 
How did you get the power to the rear drive axle?I'm always interested in this type of thing. A transfer case out of a flathead Dodge might be a little weak for you diesel, but who knows? They were a little overbuilt after all. A couple of years ago I replaced the transfer case on a military 'Duck' and it had two driveshafts coming out of the back of the transfer - one for the front rear driver and one for the back rear driver along with a shaft coming out the front for the front axle. There also was a PTO on the side of the trans to power the winch and a drop box coming out of the back of the tranny to run the prop. Whew! The transfer case might have been the same as the one from a Korean war era Deuce. The rebuilt transfer case was VERY hard to come by.Jim

i'm interested in the mechanicals too, i figured out a way to build a 1 ton 6x6 too but it would have had a transfer case between the 2 live rear ends to direct power and the front rear axle would be actually a front axle as it would be turned backward to recieve power from the 2nd transfer case which in turn would get its power from regular transfer case, also the axles would have been mounted on a shop made rocker style suspension, [ similar to a spring set on a big truck] as both axles have to be able rotate independant of each other, in other words when driven over a speed bump all 3 axles would remain on the ground, ive seen some tag axle 1 tons with the axle mounded on a seperate set of springs,when the "dead" axle goes over a bump it would lift the powered axle off the ground and the truck would stop, not the desired efect, my set up should have provided full 6wheel drive, 4 wheel drive using the front and 3rd axles,4wheel drive using only the rear axles and regular 2 wheel drive as well as theroeticly front wheel drive only [ rear transfer case in nutural] how did you set your power train and suspension up?
 
i just saw the truck in the lower post, wow! i bet the truck gets as much or even more attention at the shows then the deere, now im hungry for more details
