I was watching them thursday congrats. Which one did u get

 

[agtblank]

I was the high bidder on 2 of them for most of the day and then was outbid in the last half hour. I really didn't expect to have a bid on 2 of them at the same time. Oh well, I'll wait for the next auction when I might be closer to coming back to the states to stay.

Expect dead or no batteries, pot luck brakes.

Some fluids possibly missing.

Is this your first EUC ?

 

[prattcobra]

Yes firestone

My 1st EUC was 72 days. Expect crappy fuel/with water in the fuel. My fuel was at least 3 years old. Dead batteries/ weak batteries(I got about 3 turns of the motor before mine quit), low /flat tires, or badly sun rotted. I picked up my M814 at fort Dix, and drove her home after spending 10 man hours doing an top to bottom check on the 814.
MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE BRAKES>>>>>> This is the major weak point on the 5 tonners. I got lucky- my fluid was almost full, and my air pack worked.
Oh- if you drive her home more than 5 miles- bring ear protection.
