    Driving a M925A2 Back From Auction

    That is one long trip to risk in an unknown (any) vehicle. Weigh up the cost of fuel, tools, helper/s, insurance, food drink. sundries. And I would half guess you would not be a whole lot of bucks away from train freight rates and a couple of short drives. Good luck anyway, with either choice...

Also check the voltage to the glow plugs as correct per...

    Old style horn button rubber cover wont stay attached!

    "Everyone that works on these vehicles should have a can of spray silicone, even if only used to re-couple Packard connectors". Roger that, those horn covers are a pain if not fitted in all the way, with silicone or similar.
