Sounding REAL good now! Did you not read the comment about you having THE ULTIMATE deuce? Looking at maybe $300 of parts to get the front winch operational. Rear about the same with some diligent horse trading around. I would not let that truck go for love or money.

Were the 20 something screws present that hold the dash in place there?

Looking at the GP auction results for 1083s, that appears to be 2X the ave selling price.

Don't forget the usual dead hold up battery in the ECU reason for no-start.

Data point on the 19.5 Michelin tires. Our local surplus tire seller, Gensco, got a huge batch in a while back, and promptly began selling them to the car haulers and others that run that tire on trailers. They had to refund every sale. Tires are crap.

While you have it apart, consider retrofitting a tractor protection valve down there. I put one on my A2.

Told you to wait for the experts to chime in. Runaway is a known thing with these engines.

Before you pull the IP wait for the experts to chime in.

Often the reason for no starts on dormant multifuels is a stuck fuel shut off lever, located under the cover where the engine stop cable goes.

I thought the bleeder is behind the brake drum pipe plug when the plug is at 12:00.
