Well, when I was in the Air Forçe some of the smaller tugs had slant six's in them. I have seen some Chargers with six's also. Seen some motor homes on E bay with slants. Hmmm, oh yeah, my car.

We have a Yale forklift at work that has a Slant in it. Slants were used in all kinds of applications. Military trucks, farm machinery, generators, marine applications, (even reverse rotation) the list is almost endless.

If you want a real laugh I don't know if there still there but for years the chevy plant near here had paddlocks on all there fork lifts etc because they all had slant 6's in them (guess chevy didn't make anything strong enough).

never knew slants were used in so much stuff...

I know of a crane lift for pulling large boats out of the water that has a slant 6 powering it, it has headers and a 2 bbl. carb on it, it sounds pretty cool. The engine runs a big hydraulic pump that powers a hydraulic motor on each of 4 huge wheels that came off a Boeing jet.

Oh yeah, Chrysler marine division had a slant six also. The cam shaft used in these applications where also used in the '71 to '77 (?) engines used in cars.

Wierdest application I seen for a slant six was ina a Lincoln gas driven welder. WE are next door to a welder reapir shop, and I thought something caught my attention, after some investigation, I revealed the welder running with a 225 in it!!
WOW was I surprised.
Another one I saw was a vibratory compactor for doing road work with a slant six in it, but it had a 170!! Must not of needed all the power of a 225

The Slant/6 came in Agricultural Equipment such as Combines and Swathers. I know Versatile used them in theirs.

I had know clue the \6 was in so many applications. I will have to check the local lumber yard next time i'm there. I know they have a fork lift with a gas engine. No doubt that some of them were custom designs. The welder kinda sounds like one.

cum*do-ge: nice to see another member from Montana. It's to bad that we're so far away. Might have teamed up on some fords if all of the 3 members I know of were closer together.
