Was down in the Texas City Texas area and spotted this 24M. Sorry for the poor photo quality but I had never seen one in person before. Was pretty good sized even with the tires off.
Did you by any chance take a close look for the shipping plates to see where it was headed and who the customer was..? I don't see one on the radiator grille so the only other logical place would be on the front push block.
Must be a bad area if thieves flog the tyres off machines like that...
naw just rednecks needing tires for their law mowers and sliding boards for their pools(blade missing)
