I'm hopefully picking up my first MV tomorrow just north of Portland, OR. Should be around 4 hours to get her home. Going to put her to use clearing 20 acres for our new home.

Congrats. I wonder how many people can properly pronounce Sequim? (I lived in Tacoma for 8 years)

She looks like a happy girl, glad to be back out on the road where she belongs!

Not for long unfortunately. Sounds like the State of WA is about to ban them from public roads.

Hopefully that can be fought off. I'm not a WA resident otherwise I'd try and spearhead something.

i was only a year in Fort Lewis, but quickly learned the local dialect. I could live in Sequim. Without a second thought!!

Still not sure if this thing is a m51A2 or an m817. Its got the M51A2 nose and engine but the prior owner says his buddy swapped motors and replaced the nose, hood and fenders. I can't make out the data plate on the dash.

My understanding is that you can't put m51 sheetmetAL on an m817 because the engine is longer. Unless, I suppose, if they also swapped in the multifuel.
