If I speed more time working on just maintenance than enjoying driving it the it's time to sell it and find another hobby, These aren't helicopters you shouldn't be spending 4 hours working on it for every 1 you fly. So long as it is serviced like I do my cars and motor cycle it should be fine...

Welcome From SC . Are you going to paint the hulk on your truck?

Welcome If you ever drive a 5 ton you will never call a Deuce big ever again :)

You can also favorite the page on the GL event and even after 5 months it's still on the page. The video no longer works but everything else is still there. ......

You guys make me feel sooo bad . I just go out to try and find things wrong on my 5 ton just so I can play with it :) OK So once and a while I do but, most of the time I just ride and grin about it. I drove my step-son to a paint ball party Saturday and almost had to stay the whole time just...

It may be time to look into rebuilding it if you can find someone in your are. I'm sure the guys on here have one for sale also. Just hope you find one cheaper than that ......

Now this comes from a guy who really hates to have someone do anything he could have done himself . But under this circumstance I would leave it to the pros. It's not much of a secret that the long life of any motor is to keep it well lubricated, good clean fuel and the most important of all...

My 923A1 is a couple of inches over ten foot tall. But I have seen many of them hauled on flat beds on here. Even two at a time so you should be okay..... Good luck

Good luck with your new toy ! I don't care the dirt much but, man do I love the roads. I put 20,000 miles on my bike in 10 months :)

Welcome from SC, I hope you find all your answers and have a great time here .... :)

Welcome from SC . I hope you enjoy this site and the people half as much as I do . It's amazing how some of these guys just become friends in no time. Good luck and again welcome

Well good luck to you and your wife . Just remember training with a guy named Murphy hanging around ain't never over :)

So long as people like you dedicate their time money and passion to restore these Steel Soldiers , no one will ever be with out the ability to put their hands on history. A job well done :)

Have them ship a copy to the Gov of SC with instructions as what to do to help the MV owners in this state. At the present they don't like us much.........

I like the way those guys look , nice find...... In regards to the bobbed Deuce it just shows some people just go way to far trying to be different........

That make sense and to tell you the truth I never use a paint and primer together. In all my years of painting I was taught to prime then paint. As stated all the primer does is to correct in some cases if you use the sand-able kind or to provide a more ply able surface for the final finish...

The greatest thing to avoid are trucks with no titles. In some states it is the greatest deal breaker at any price. Parts for these trucks are plentiful so it would be a matter of price verses condition. I know in many cases it is best to just buy one in the best condition you can. In the long...

Well I may be next if I ever have time to work on mine so I will be following this with great interest. I have to ask why no primer? I will not be doing much sanding on mine, it doesn't need much . I will how ever use a self etching primer to make sure of the proper bonding surface. I paint...

Like the man said just give it some time and see what happens. I didn't realize it was still that cool where you painted it. You may want to try it again in the optimal 70 degree range and not with so much moister in the air. There are many trucks on here that were painted with the same paints...

I am so sorry for your loss. Maybe it's the paranoid side of me but, It sat for three months and then poof? I find it hard to believe that it was a short. Most shorts will drain the battery and or blow fusses and or breakers but, smolder for three months I find hard to believe . Not to start...
