Q & A
Have a question or looking to schedule an appointment?
can you describe what wrong with the transmission? will it drive or pull onto a trailer under its own power? 12/04/2024 10:41:10 AM
We have drove it twice, was never in service with our department. Transmission shifts hard and rattles. I believe you could load it on a trailer under its own power. Does need batteries. Currently set up for a single 8D. 12/04/2024 10:52:35 AM
How does the undercarriage look? 12/08/2024 09:45:34 AM
Appears to be mostly surface rust. 12/09/2024 15:57:54 PM
