Where did all the M35A3's go?

[Nonotagain]

I looked at a pile of M35A3 located in North Carolina on GL , saved them to my watch list, then poof, all gone.

GL's advertisement iin the upper left corner just showed one of the trucks, clicked the link only to receive this message No Lot Found at Government Liquidation

Did GL get a better offer to sell all the trucks as one lot or are they going to be relisted at a later date?

Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[avengeusa]

some govt agency, or foreign entity was probably given them

do not fear, they are all being phased out

there will be more

Is there any site that shows the diffs in the M35, M35A1, M35A2 and M35A3? When I was in I don't remember the M35A3, but I had a M35A2C that we have a shelter on back. That deuce would eat my M931 loaded or unloaded down the Autobahn.

Negotiated sale? It would not surprise me. They have done them before.

 

[bulldog_mack13]

He's right , prices are going down and theres tons more coming. Good news for the hobby guys.

Saw some A3's in Richmond that had "FMS" holds on them.....

M35- gas engine
M35A1- LDS 427 (turbo multifuel engine)
M35A2-LD 465 (non-turbo multifuel engine) and LDT 465 (turbo mutifuel engine)
M35A3- A completely rebuilt M35A2 with Cat engine,Allison auto trans, cental tire infation system, air assist steering, super single tires, and a funky looking hood.

One of those in the "pulled" lots was an M36A3. At least it looked to have more than 5 bows. Maybe they pulled them because there were miss I.D.ed??

These trucks are leading candidates for Foreign Military Sales and Local/State/Federal transfer program. I have heard unconfirmed reports the National Forest Service is wanting a large number for fire fighting. The 900 series 5 ton is less preferred to them due to the front tilting hood getting damaged in the brush and less ability to add brush guards to the 900 series.

The thing I can't understand is why they would get pulled after GL got them. They already went through the whole screening process. All the various military, federal, state, local, etc. entities had their shot at them. After they cleared the DRMO screening time period, they were transferred to GL. Usually, GL items have stickers on them that say something like "NO SCREENING." If they were pulled en masse from GL, I suppose they still could have been pulled back.

I just talked to the site manager for Camp Leujune. The M35A3s were pulled to go to foreign sells.
One of the few, Frank USMC RET

If you want to come out west there will be a few coming up soon

Talked to one of our guys here in MN and he said that they have to have every M35 series turned in this year. Don't know if there is a specific month deadline though. A M35A2 I knew of here disappeared a couple of weeks ago to DRMO, probably to be sold out of Ripley (don't know that for sure however). Was a nice looking truck w/ winch tarp/bows.

I know that the Oklahoma Forestry Service has recently obtained several M35A3's. I went last week to pick one up for our volunteer fire department. There were 3 on the lot when I was there and I understand that there were around 6 of them available a month or so ago. I think we got a pretty good one that will replace our current M35A2 which has some major issues. I have some pictures posted of our A3.

Did I understand correctly that more A3's should be retired and hopefully hitting GL soon? I'm one of the few firefighters in our department that likes driving our A2. After spending a week on this site I'm afraid I've been infected and may need my own deuce some day. Now I'm trying to learn more about this whole GL thing.

Sad, the infection rate continues unabated.


Welcome to the site, have a beer and plan on purchasing one or seventeen Deuces.

Im a newbie, looking for the M35A3 variant hoping to secure one with a winch. Does anyone know whether these mods were also performed on the shop van or instrument van models? would that be a M109A3 for instance?

There is such thing as an M109A3 but it's NOT an M35A3 with an M109 body, sorry.

 

[eyesofthunder]

I had a M35A2C when I was on AD, but that is the most I recall on them.

Several at Norman, Ok slated for FMS.

 

[LanceRobson]

There was a line of 6-8 M35A3s at Drum about three months ago that were all bound for FMS.
