Morooka's anyone?

[bobcat_ron]

I dropped off a genie lift at our local Morooka yard.

Looks like an old Ford cabover truck right? Nope.




Steering wheel?


T-bar control, we don't need no stinking steering wheel!




Typical placement of Morooka's dumpvalve:


Even has a crane:




Fresh batch of used, but painted MST 800's:




Very, very rare MS-77 front end loader:




Walk around of the loader:

Pretty interesting conversion. Plus, I have never seen one of those Marooka loaders here in the states.
Looks like that dealer is a little overloaded on inventory right now.

you should buy that truck and put this behind it as a pup trailer:

That is totally redneck engineering at it's finest. That loader was interesting.

The auctions for it says it is shop built, and has cat decals over it so I figure they tore something apart and robbed a dump body of a truck and slapped it on there.

Nope, I think it needs at least two more!

I remember seeing pics cat-branded graincart or trailer hooked to 75 back when cat still built the Challenger series. It could also just be the undercarriage from one of the earliest tractors, but i'm pretty sure it started out as a trailer of one kind or another. Either way the LCF/Morooka and this dumptrailer fit as far as the fab work and thought that went into them.
