10 ton tractor

[combat32]

I passed through Tupelo Mississippi last week and my daughter in law wanted to check out the Elvis boyhood home there.I found this picture there from when they moved the church he attended as a young man to it's present site beside his childhood home.It looks like a 10 ton tractor to me, the company is Sizemore, obviously a house moving company local to the area.So it looks like another 10 ton is out there still earning its keep, just thought it was a neat pic and thought I would pass it along.

A lot of ten tons found there way into the house moving business.

A 10-Ton in it's natural habitat...

There was an M123 on the wyoming craigslist last month. I think its still there. Said he moved a 350,000# structure with it. Thats impressive, just stopping would be more impressive. So is its $12k pricetag.

Depends on the year/model;

M123 - LeRoi T-H844 V8 Gas 297hp@2600rpm
M123A1C and others - Cummins P1525 V8-300 785 cu in, diesel 300hp@3000rpm

You don't need a 10 ton to move 350,000lbs...

Vintage Iron knows a guy in the Cape/Coast area that uses a 10ton in the house moving business. There was also someone in the CT area that had a winch from a 10 ton they used in their house moving business.

with enough gearing, you can move anything. horsepower and torque dont hurt, tho.

Sounds like a natrually aspirated 903 cummins to me.
