I know it has been a while. I have been pretty busy and have not had time to post much. I had some misfortune in my life and my wife passed away. Now I want to build a pole barn workshop to help take up my spare time. This is why you guys did not see me at Findley this year. I am going to build the barn with my son and daughter and I came across a M108. I figured it would be good to help build the barn and just fun in general. The truck was a runner a few years ago. The guy is a farmer and when he needs it he takes out a jerry can and battery and fires it up. It is still a gasser. It needs a front winch, door glass, batteries and it leaks down hydraulic fluid over time. He said he uses it once every few years and he has to fill up the hydraulic reservoir when he uses it. I will look for any obvious leaking at the fittings as I know they are unobtainable. One wheel cylinder is also leaking. Not a big deal. He said he does not have the travel locks or the ground supports for the boom. It does have the outriggers. We are at the $3000 range. What do you guys think? The boom looks straight with no bow to it. What is the max height it will lift a truss? Open up the discussions.
