M1010 Recovery (private sale)

[natem]

Well the plan is.................... flat tow her home, 300 mi. round trip.

First. Prep the recovery vehicle, load necessary tools and all that. Need to install that new fuel tank, like it or not. And drew blood, what good recovery doesn't!

I'll post pics and the story as soon as I get er done.

There is always blood sweat and a little grumbling that goes along with an MV but its worth it.

She is solid, but suffers from a ether hangover. I learned for a long flat tow you should remove rear drive shaft. The transfer case got reeeeeeeal hot. Nothing broken (I hope). She pulled real nice,hardly new I was pulling anything.

The owner plans a repower/trail rig M37. He also has a deuce gull wing shop truck he would like to send to a good home.

Yes a repower may be in the future for tenten.
