Should I buy it???

Post by RickC »

Stumbled accross an M38 about 5 miles from my house. Has a plow and is pretty rotted and has an F head engine. Has stuff like shakles. underhood battery box and really straight fenders. Is it worth 300+ bucks?????

The F engine is worth $300 if it runs decent. Whats the serial number of the M38?

I didn't see any data plates to get a serial number. Body is pretty rusty but grill and front fenders are good. Has warn hubs on it. Never dealt with them but can't get them to unlock......
Going to negociate tonight.
