Hello list, I am a new to this list and think you've got a good thing going
here, everybody's sharing their knowledge IS MUCH APPRECIATED. Here is my
question:

I am looking for a fairly clean and mechanically sound M35A2. I am unsure
whether it would be advisable to go ahead and bid on one straight from the
DRMO and take my chances that there are no major problems with it, or to pay
the extra premium and buy one from a local surplus dealer who says he has
gone through the trucks to some extent and fixed any major problems, cleaned
them up, etc.

I am no professional mechanic, but can hold my own when it comes to making
repairs to my other vehicles. I am concerned that even getting one started
and transported home from the DRMO could be a challenge. Am I just being
overly cautious or is buying one from the DRMO a real risk? Also, any
particulars about a particular year or maker with the M35A2 to look out for
or avoid?

Any input you can supply would be much appreciated.

Hotter than hell here in Phoenix,

Steve
