    R.I.P.-- John Winslow

    VERY upsetting news!!!:cry: I not only bought a winch deuce from him earlier this spring, but also helped him sell another truck shortly thereafter. I was also treated like royalty on subsequent visits and was hoping to conduct more transactions with him in the future.

    My late Father was also a 30 year Operating Engineer, so I also enjoy getting behind the controls of that stuff whenever the opportunity presents itself..which doesn't seem to be very often these days. :(

    Would you happen to be the gentleman with the blue pickup with the MVPA sticker in the rear window who was in the process of loading up some very ancient looking components when I was leaving?

    I spotted three sitting on the floor of a warehouse, and I snagged two. Dunno if he has any more than just that third one though.

    White Owl today!

    Lots of cool hardware scattered about. The warehouses have an awesome"old school" aura about them. Dark and musty, yet VERY clean with a well organized appearance. What's not to love? :mrgreen:

    Ain't it a small world! I'm from Michigan too (as if the screen name doesn't give it away:wink:), and I *work* at NCSU. I just bought a deuce this spring, but I've had an on again/off again desire to own one since kindergarten. I also have an M101a3, and have an M105a2 and an S250 on the way...
