    Buying a HEMTT across the country

    Even with a sf97 in your name, it can be difficult to register these in ma. Also keep in mind that to insure it as an antique you need to store it inside. Ive had two insurance companies require this with photo evidence and they check with google earth to see the building on your property...

    I have done both. I have drained the transmission and replaced only what came out with transynd on my m983. I have also just topped off the fluid level with oil in my m977. Both ran the same.

    M977 Fluids..........

    Also don't trust the temp sensor for the trans. Both of my Hemtts show 190-200 on the gauge but if I use a laser thermometer they show 170-180. I use the laser often to check.

    HEMTT doors don't open from inside
