It wasn't a mog, but I can't find a google image of an M35 (deuce-and a half military truck) version - rear mounted diesel engine to drive a 3 row snowblower - thing was excellent. painted civilian yellow. The description said, in so many words "needs a bunch of work and wont run right now" so I wasn't going to jump on it. And we never get that much snow in OH anyway.....yet...

oh well. I'm staying clear of ladder-frame vehicles, mostly so I dont get tempted to buy a snow plow, or a boat, or any other large equipment

Friend of mine in Colorado has a Mog snowblower... seriously bad-ass...
Even painted yellow...
