Small world, buying some beer last night for some of the guys at work as a little Christmas gift and ran into a guy that says he has an M715 sitting in his backyard for 10 years or so. Got it from a friend and never did anything with it. Winch truck, still has winch, has rust, no glass, does not run. I have not seen it, but I did get his number and he lives fairly close to me. I will try and get a look at it next week. I still have the M725 sitting in the yard so I can not even think about bringing it home.
Story is his friend was a carpenter and did a lot of work on the outer beach (Fire Island New York). Truck worked well for hauling lumber on the beach. Local police would call him from time to time when someone got stuck and their police trucks where not up to the task of getting them unstuck.
Merry Christmas to all!
