I would like to see some for $2500 in the shape...

    Bringing it home

    my 1st EUC took less than 3 weeks so be prepared. haul it if you can, it's worth the peace of mind and cheaper if things go wrong. Sparta has a loading dock, people who will help and are flexable to work with time wise.

    Sparta M109A3 trucks, anybody here get one?

    I was looking at the very same truck. had my $3000 bid ready and hestitated till the time ran out. just seems a little too high for a shop van and I coundn't commit. the condition ran these up even though some had brake issues, like the 1966 did.

    M35A3 Transmision question.

    I talked to a mechanic today that went to school at Allison years ago and is familier with the AT1545. he said it was designed to work with 15-40w oil. if the fluid and filter is kept up, this setup should last many years and thousands of miles.seems several people are having trouble after...
