Anyone have any mechanical information on an M810 (converted truck tractor)at Ft. Bliss, TX?

GL description comments stated "will not start"

Curious if anyone did a pre-inspection of it and what they found?

Won this truck yesterday.

"Will not start" can mean a lot of things. Dead batteries, fuel issue, bad engine, fluids drained or that the GL people didn't even try to slave it off to see if it would crank. Got a pic of it?
Hope its a basic issue we often see!

wreckerman893 is spot on with his advice, in this case having it hauled would be ideal. Most 900 series trucks from this location just need a jump but this older m818 has a fair deal more risk (not to mention being a converted m810 leaving more to investigate).
