(WOR) working on rank
I bought a project truck from the forest service to get the winch. If is fairly easy if you take your time. Lots of bolts to remove and things are heavy. I used a cherry picker to get the winch in place and tighten the bolts. They weigh in the 4oo pound range?. I have help most of the heavy...
I have 12.5 xls singled on my truck. I got them balanced as best the truck shop could. They still bounce some. I lowered the tire pressure from 50 to 45 and it helped. Do you all think 40 would be too low? I don't haul much now so I am not worried about load capacity.

Steve, this is Bill who bought a M35 about 8 years ago. I helped Jefferson Hills get a M35 for their brush truck. If you get a chance, stop by the station on 885 and look at it. They added most of that stuff.
PA registration
Yup, no inspection with an antique plate. Need to watch how much you drive and drive it in a parade once in a while. I agd mine for 6 years in Pa and never got stopped even with wood, sand, gravle, dirt in the back. Rules state you are supposed to drive it a limited amount...

Instead of drilling and using the little clips, I use tye wraps. Works well and have used them for 4 years.

Also, in validity to running singles without flipping up and "frying" bearings?
I drove past this truck on the way home from work. So I stopped for a look. It is a M715, the engine is out but the faded sign says he has the engine. The price is listed at $3750. The floor has some holes in it and the body is rough. Bed is solid.
No further knowledge. I can stop again...
TN line
Tom, I am in Kingsport and had to move a duece quick and got EastTennessee Wrecker service to move it. It was expensive but they had the equipment.
once you get it, give me a shout.

Well, GL closed in TN and there were some great prices for the M818s raning from ~!1500 to 3,000.. I looked hard at a few but storage is a killer. I sure hope that the dealers did not get them all.
So, who got a gem?
