300 miles in my new deuce.

Finally bought a m-35, been wanting one for years. Found a dealer in tullahoma tn, that had purchased a few m-35's, 5 tons, and 5 ton dumps. we drove over thursday and took a look at them and I selected the m-35 bearing the winch. Prices were extremely good, has three more to sell for around 2500. Did the the 300 miles straight after a little fuel and a little lunch. Uneventful trip, she ran smooth at 55 the whole way. no heater in this one and the guy says, the engine gives off enough heat to keep you warm..... He would have been right if the air coming in from the doors wasn't blowing through the gaps................Snakeater

It's good to hear that another new guy had an uneventful trip. It really is a blast to drive these beasts, especially when everything goes right.

LOL, I recovered a '86 M35A2C on Tuesday but I dare not post the story b/c I didn't take any pics Could it be the novelty of recovering MV is rubbing off? Or was it I was just so excited I forgot...
