As I read more, I am getting concerned about a vehicle with air-brakes. As others have stated, even a 30 year mechanic might not understand them. Are there any of the 5 tons that DON'T have air-brakes? If not, am I then looking at 2.5s only?
Thanks,

98G. Where is homebase for you on weekends? Private message me if that is something you don't want out there. I know my son and I would love to get some hands on.
I live outside of the city limits so I don't have any issues parking it here. The long term goal would be a shed/workshop big enough to house it and tools and whatever else I accumulate in life. The insurance idea is one I wouldn't have thought of. Great idea!

Hello All,
New to this site. As of yet, I don't own any vehicles. I did find a site, GovPlanet/IronPlanet that has vehicles rather close to me (90 miles or so). As I started looking, all of the auctions started at or around $2000. I did a search for completed Auctions and they all seemed...
Greetings to everyone from Ottawa, Kansas.
I have about a year or less to go over the pros/cons of owning SOMETHING (M923 or opened to suggestions) as a hunting rig and MAYBE a daily driver (I work 4 miles from home and there is a huge gravel parking lot at work).
