I would like to attend to get a feel for wheeling a Deuce. But I am at college 350 miles from mine and it needs a significant amount of work before It can be driven. So If anyone would let me ride with them on the trials please PM me. Thanks!

Sorry, did not realise anyone would care. according to my guages this deuce has 26xxx miles and 18xx hours (x's because I forget those numbers), the previous owner bought the truck when it had 2000 miles on it and the difference was put on by the yard owner without the owners permission...
Correct. Before I owned it, It was being stored at a yard by a friend of the previous owner. He was considering scrapping it because he did not want to get involved in changing a head gasket(not sure why?) and the yard owner had some of his workers start taking parts off it. When I went to buy...
It is in a serious state of disrepair. The starter system currently does not work, radiator is empty and gauges were cut out.
Update: Got the gauges, fire extinguisher, headlights, fuel tank, and other assorted pieces back last tuesday!
Have not had time to wrench but will let everyone know...

"Hydro locking is the same thing as "seizing" an engine. It won't turn over.. Usually happens because of water in the engine or when you run it bone dry out of oil. Basicly water gets in the...
I guess there was a lack of communication, I will not be pull starting it. I am currently only trying to turn the motor over with as breaker bar or pry bar. Then once I know its not seized will diagnose the starter issue.
Have the batteries sitting around, will still try to bar it over first to check for hydro lock and because i do not know that the electrical system will work.
That is easier said that done, it is in a very tight spot and is not easily removed and put back (especially under tow) and I do not...
