This one was slated to be cutup for the axles

Hi

I purchased this Duce for a large ranch In Florida.

It was slated to be cut up for the axels commonly used in sand dune and swamp biggys.

It would be like cutting my best friends legs off. The stores those trucks could tell.

Are you planning on using it as a water transport/brush fire truck? I am sure it does great in low range, even with that hulking tank in the back! 1000 gallons give you some endurance for grass fires, 20 mins or so with that inch and a half, depending how much continuous spray you need. That sure is a useful rig.

What are you planning to do for maintenance? I would have a look at the torque rod/dog bone ends (they are old and suffer from twisting under heavy loads off-road), the trunnion (bearing or bushing) and make sure the brakes are good. The centre of gravity is going to be high, so side slopes are a no-no with this rig. The stack does not qualify as ROPS.

Oh, so much fun!

Of course we need to know if she starts and runs and drives!

Hi

Go to the link in the post and a lot of your questions will be answered.

The tank is centered in the bed and unless they get on one of the dykes there are no steep grades. There is no reason for the truck to operate on the dykes there is no place for the fire to go up there. LOL

We are well into the prescribed burn season and it has been working out well.

As for maintenance I got the brakes working well using the DOT 5 fluid, I changed all the rubber hoses and belts before the unit started to work.

The fire water tank and equipment are built on a frame work that can be unbolted and remove so the truck can be used for feed transport in the summer when it s wet.

It got a few months feed hauling before I put the tank in.

3,500 head of cattle and 11,000 acres of land require a lot of attention

That reads like a for sale ad , so it is hard to tell if that's where you bought it or what.

It doesn't say if that's the seller or you .
I'm not a mind reader either , ss has carnac for that.

I don't see this as for sale, there is no mention of him selling, or an asking price. We might not need to run off every new member.

I don't see it as something you need to comment on.

Report it, next time.

Way too much bickering going on in the forums.

Shining up my ban-hammer now...
