It was down near Saratoga NY. The first thing after cleaning it up is to see if the motor turns over/runs. The ad stated the motor was stuck; the owner said he put oil down the spark plug openings once in a while so we'll see if it frees up. I know when winching it on the trailer it moved a...
My brother found an R2 listed for sale this morning for a good price, so after a few hours of driving we bought it! It looks to be in decent shape, it needs work but it's definitely worth saving. I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow and post some more pictures.
At this point I'm planning to show up for the day on Saturday. Some of the stuff I can bring if paid for:
Complete unused medium tow bar kits (Bar, 3/4" feet, 1" feet, chain clamps, all the pins) $500 each
Right hand m939 windshield (new) $100
Nice metal bows for m101/m105 trailers set of 5...
Lately I've dyed the dash pad in the pickup, changed out the seat bottom cover for a new one, and I installed new shocks and changed the fuel filter. I also made up a set of mirrors that can be adjusted out for towing, since I occasionally tow wide trailers.

I can bring almost anything I've got listed in the classifieds to the show. If anyone wants to make a 45 minute trip north to Colchester there's...
Any pics of the m35 doors on your m43? They are completely different. Some parts that do interchange are the individual windshields, lug nuts, lights, light switch, gauges, I think the shift knob, and slave cable outlet.
Changed out the windshield on my m1028 today with one from a parts truck I bought last year. The old one had a scratch from the wiper arm on it, the "new" one is mint and tinted at the top. I'll have to get the right tools for the next time, it was a bit tedious doing this one with a...
Here's a link with a picture, it takes a 10mm wrench.

Last week I wired in new relay blocks for the dump bed so that is working now.
It's actually pretty useful around the yard:
I also put the blackout lights back on the front, I've still got to straighten out the brackets for the back lights at some point.
It beats moving tow bars by hand!
