I fellow from east of here -- Brownsville,Tn -- visited my place couple of
years ago driving his very nice M35 - as I looked it over I saw he had stuff
necessary to mount snow plow -- I noticed that right off because around here
3 inches of snow shuts country down.
He also has power steering -- I did not look under hood, but, he told me he
had hydraulic pump mounted on front of engine. - from memory he said it came
off airplane. He used to me on list, if he reads this he will recognize
himself I am sure -
