Hi guys, I'm Lymm, a retired Army Veteran.We used the M977 in the Ammo section when I was in Field Artillery to haul in Artillery ammo and dunnage once the firing was done. We also used them to carry material as well. You should have a remote to operate the Boom hoist loader as well. One bad thing is it doesn't swing to the right wide, it's not a 360 degree boom. The side panels and eithr be lowered down or removed all together. I was extremely happy when we went to the PLS system, made work much more easier!

I love the the 977 Hemett. They are basically a cargo hauler. Our rebuild center for the Maine national Guard had one as a support truck. It pulled my butt (after it got chewed out by a Master Sgt) out of a snow bank cause I tried to climb a snow bank with a Slant back 4 door Hummer re-enacting the invasion of Iraq. I'd love to have me not only a M925 5 ton, and a M1070 HET but the Hemett falls in that group too. 8v92 the Sound of 'Merica. Hear it scream.

The purpose of the M977 is to provide heavy transport capabilities for supply and re-supply of combat vehicles and weapons systems. Compared to earlier generation 5-ton trucks in U.S. Army service it offers an increased payload and mobility.

@arlisspropertyservicesllc5943 4 месяца назад

The 977 was designed as a replacement for the GOER series trucks. They were designed to haul artillery/tank ammunition. My unit in West Germany got the first ones sent to Europe in early 86’. Those trucks would fly down the Autobahn. They had 2 different ammo haulers, tankers, and wreckers. Later they added tractors for all sorts of trailers.

I drove the cargo hemtt and fuel hemtt when in the military in 1986 & 1987. They also made a hemtt wrecker. It was a beast. Your cargo hemtt had a slave cable and controls that you can hang around your neck and operate the crane remotely. There should be outriggers on the back also when you operate the crane. I’ve driven and used the cargo and fuel hemtt. I’ve driven the hett also. My mos was a 64 echo. I drove a lot of other monsters also.

@HabitualButtonPusher 4 месяца назад

I got certified to drive one of those when I was in the Army. My instructor was a Specialist that had like 4 months left in the Army and didn’t give AF. We both took turns driving as fast as we could west of Gruber and Chicken Road at Bragg. Was such a fun day

@normanthiel9059 4 месяца назад

My understanding is this truck was designed as an engine extractor for the tanks with turbines in them. It was used for everything once it hit the ground. What a beast!

Is the crane set up for tire changes, too? Other trucks have a jib by the spare, this one looked like it did not. Maybe they delete the rig for the spare if it has the big crane on the back?

I found 3 brand new John Deere snowmobiles and one was a black Liquifire with a 440 engine with twin carbs on it. I know for certain it would go 127 mph because a Missouri State Patrolman clocked me on the opposite medium on a dual highway. It took him 20 min. to get turned around and catch up to me at the gas station filling up. He was one hot Comanche when I said how do you know it was me with dozens of snowmobiles zipping around. He yelled just obey the speed limits and stop signs. I said I always stop at the stop signs so I can race my friends with snowmobiles to the next stop sign. I think he just went home!

When I was In the Army they used then with fuel tanks in the back as a mobile fuel station and hauled anything that fit in the back as support trucks. I saw them most in tank units. I can se that they would be great for logging if you removed the bed and added log racks or you could put a dump bed using the hydrolics from the lift boom.
