Kermit has a Mercedes OM352 engine...5.7L I6 normally aspirated diesel. As big and heavier than my CTD. Its backed by a 20 speed tranny (crawl ratio approx. 4100:1), F&R PTO, and F&R hydraulics. The winch is PTO driven, and has been my only means of recovery several times.

How much do those usually sell for? What are the height/weight specs?

I dunno if this counts but this is my 1979 ford with its 35's (before i put the new rear suspension on and still havent rigged up a front suspension) And soon to have a new carb.
Story: A friend of mine works for Sears and was making a delivery to a house up the road from me. Well the front yard was all mud as it was a new house and when he came out he got his boss' mini van stuck in the mud. Well we tried to pull him out with our old 90 f-250 but bald tires and no 4 wheel drive kept it from budging the van. So we went to the garage and got my truck. We hooked onto him no problem and pulled him out of the mud. But once again more misfortune. My truck had no head lights and windshield wipers this particlar rainy night and as I went to pull out of the drive way I drove right into the ditch. Well I put the truck in 4wd and first and crawled right out of the ditch. Well thinking all the events were over I had just pulled into our garage dooryard and the truck quit. She was completely out of gas.
Not much of an experience I know but hey I still have a year before I get my license.......Then the real fun begins....
