[MV] M211 questions

List,
My father and I recently looked at an M211. It had been sitting for =
several years prior to being started and moved around by the current =
owner. The engine runs, but the transmission will not shift out of first =
gear (it goes into reverse, but won't shift up in forward). Could this =
be a matter of a "gummed" up valve, etc... Does the transmission need =
air pressure to shift? I don't believe it is building air pressure. I =
think all of the belts were there, but do these air pumps "break" =
easily. It could be a rusted line, or open valve, but I did not hear air =
escaping anywhere.

Any thoughts/help on what to look for when purchasing one of these =
trucks would be appreciated.

Thanks,
--Neil
