That's one of the things I didn't know until I came to this site.
When I learned about it, I did an experiment. I parked on a steep hill, in gear, and dropped the brake to see if it would start. The engine was warm and it rolled less than a foot when it started up.
Now, I park out of gear...
That's a good point.
We hauled our M35A2s on a low-boy semi trailer, and it was close, but low enough. We were going to haul them on a Landall (A roll back, flat bed semi trailer) and it was going to be to tall.
Greetings from a former Berean,
If this is a GL ( Government Liquidators ) Auction, you will probably have a month or two to arrange shipping, while you wait for the EUC to clear.
We did the same. We also put them in one box.
I'm not sure what to do with the other box, I might make a cover for it, clean out any acid residue, and store the jack in it. It's a shame to waste the space.
It would be the same as a deuce.
We did the same thing to our XM817, and have had trouble starting it when it's below 15 degrees. Other than then, it's been just fine.
I don't have a pic handy, but if you still would like to see one in the morning, I'll go out and take it.
I totally agree.
I don't know how you feel, but I feel my name and reputation are everything. If I were put on a black list because of something I didn't do, I would do anything and everything to clear my name.
OK, it's cute in a "look how much money I've got" kind of way. If I were going to spend that much, I'd rather have a HEMTT.
Actually, I'm waiting for JONES to start mass production of the baby HEMTT. :drool:
This thing is just full of cool fabrication.
How close is it to "drivable"? (tired of that question yet?)
And why did you bother keeping the serial number exposed? Do you really think you can convince anyone it's "just" an M35, even with the VIN? ;)
I lost my alternator/fan belts a few weeks ago, and had a slight boil-over before I shut it down. Some antifreeze got in that crater in the top of the air pump and is still there.
One of the properties of antifreeze is it doesn't evaporate very fast. If it's in one of those crevasses, you might...
I thought they passed that several years ago. My father received his in the mid-70s. ( Omaha Beach )
That is an awesome story ,BTW. He waited a long time for recognition he was well due. I'm glad he got to live to see it, glad you got to meet him, and glad you shared it with us.
Thanks.
