Local craigslist score.......

[StreetbikeDepot]

Thanks to a poor description and title on the Craigslist add, I scored a running and driving M816 today! Its fully functional, with hardtop, heater, dual spring seats, working spot lights and we where able to drive it home! Best part of the deal........got it for $4000! Needs painted, hardly any rust (other than some surface rust), the front cable spooler is gone, and the rear winch seems to have a key or pin sheared on the gear on the shaft. Here is a pic from the add, I'll post up better pics tomorrow.

You have to do an advanced search w/google. Basically, you will put what you are looking for, the site to look on, and the timeframe.

Click this link.....it is for M35A2 on craigslist.org within the past month.....

Here is the site:Search Tempest - Craigslist Helper & More!

Alows you to search by distance from a zip code and refine search.

If you want to search nationwide on Craigslist use www.crazedlist.org, You have to use Mozilla Firefox. I added the pic to the first post.

Quite the awesome machine (not ours, but in general LOL)

45K rear winch.. BAM...

He forgot to mention it was home to 2 BIG rats and 1 raccoon... the raccoon had to find a new home, we hope the rats soon will too. We could have more goodies in the tool boxes, but we weren't about to stick our hands in there.

These were serious ratts... How many ratts do you know are bad a$$ enough to eat the tops of the batteries off. We found battery caps in there nest.

It has civi tires on it.. We have 5 ton wheels now.. someone needs to help us with the beautification of this beast with some 1450. or bigger.. .seriously.. anyone.. anyone? bueller? bueller?

 

[hoopsoft]

oh yeah I guess all the 819 also have a fifth wheel plate?

I can't believe this thing weighs 35K lbs.. Thats crazy.

 

[Wrench Wench]
