Does Wright Patterson have load out assistance available? I also got one of the m332 trailers and woud be willing to bring another one back with it if I can get it in the back of the m35.
If they are willing to sell it - see if they will let you start it up. Check all the fluids ect. first. Windows probably just need lubrication. Price will depend on what it needs - brakes, electrical - other working parts. Good luck.
I got all three of my trucks from Ft. McCoy. All three are pretty nice in my opinion and they all drove home. Mike the GL guy is a good guy to deal with. I think a lot of their trucks are driven in and not forklifted around like some others. Good luck in your quest.

I say try it. I've taken some out before by bumping them with my skidsteer until the roots start to break. Mostly shallow rooted trees. Be sure to take some pics or video for all to enjoy.:beer:
One of each. That should keep things interesting.:-) I'd drive over and check them out while your waiting on your EUC. Check fluids, brakes, leaks ect.
I didn't do a volt test on the new batteries. I just installed them and then flipped the accesary switch on and judging by the buzzer loudness I determined them to be fully charged.:-) The battery to battery connection appeared to be snug on one of the posts but was not. But would that drain a...
