<< Our MVPA chapter is considering buying an M55 from a local salvage yard
to use as our clubvehicle. It has a few things missing but is in really
good shape. My questions are as follows:
How much would a distributor and plug wire set cost?
PASS
How much would a carburetor cost?
THEY ARE ON EBAY REGULARLY IN THE HUNDRED DOLLAR RANGE...EVEN WITH A NEW ONE
EXPECT 3 MPG.
How many canvas sets are used for the bed, this has almost double thebed
length as my M35?
TWO ENDS, ONE COVER
What are the specs for the motor (HP, torque, displacement, etc.)?
602 CID, DON'T HAVE TABLE IN FRONT OF ME, HP FAIRLY LOW (COUPLE HUNDRED), BUT
TORQUE IS FORMIDABLE
What would a PTO cost for one or at least a cover plate?
PASS
Would it be possible to flat tow one about 20 miles with an M35?
THE ARE AIR LINE CONNECTIONS ON THE FRONT FENDERS, HOOK UP AIR, AND USE A
MILITARY TOWBAR, AND DO IT THE MILITARY WAY (DRIVER IN TOWED VEHICLE AS WELL)
What is the vehicle weight (no cargo with fuel and fluids)?
20,000 LBS
And finally how hard is it to get parts for them?
IT IS NOT
