  • New '52

    I just picked up a 2nd M this weekend. Has the LU4 w/PTO and Drive Shaft and stock drive train - Man does that 6 cylinder humm like a sewing machine after it warms up. The rest of the truck leaves much to be desired compared to my other '52, but it has potential. I don't think it's an original WW model.

    It looks like it was orignally OD, then painted AF Blue. It has a cab, which may not be slavageable, but I don't think it's the stock arctic cab. Has a sliding rear window vs. the oval.

    Question on the LU4. The drum turns freely with a slight drag at one point in a revolution. When I engage the winch, should I be able to turn the drum and get the shaft to rotate? I have yet to drain it to see if there's any fluids left but not having played with one before, figured I'd ask.

    The sliding rear window is the original type hard top. On the winch I think by design it won't rotate by turning the drum. Maybe someone who knows for sure will chime in.
