If the bearings were in good shape and all lubed up, I would say it's a brake dragging. It may not be fully disengaging after you use it. I'm sure someone with more expertise will chime in.

I always miss the fun :( I'm in for next year!!!

Whatever it is....... its still a sweet score :) It looks really good.

Excellent story. Welcome to the site and the OD Green Obsession. :)

:ditto:

Thank you gentlemen. I guess I can be the MV AAA for Arkansas :grd:

Cryogen, hit me up some time and we can take mine out for a spin. I'm waiting at the moment for my EUC to clear for another one that I bought out of Hooks. You are more than welcomed to come by and check them out.

It's ok Fred. Didn't mean to make you miss her. I figured you might want to see some pics and know that she is in good hands. You have a great deuce!

Here are some pics of Fred's deuce. I had it running in a couple of them because I was doing some shuffling of deuces.

No fuel from filters to injector?...... if so I would check for a crimped line somewhere between.

Ok. Here's the story: I went out there on Wed. afternoon (5/26) after I got some zzss from working the night before. I discovered that the batteries were dead. I couldn't find anyone to give me a jump so I unhooked the batteries, told the dealer folks I would be back the following day, and...

Not a problem Fred. I'm just glad I could help and got there in time. I'll do a good job babysitting it for you :)

Thanks. I figured I would do what I could. Rest assured if any other fellow members have issues in Arkansas or need a preview, I'll do what I can to help them as well. It's a great hobby with great people and we need to stick together to help each other out when we can.

I agree with what everyone else has said. The biggest isssues are the economy and the fact you can still acquire these items dirt cheap off of GL or GSA. I know you run the risk of it being crap and the items aren't in the best condition but most folks seem to be willing to take the risk. I...

No problem ghost. I'll keep you posted.

ghost, At some point in the future (once my EUC clears) I'll be heading to Hooks to towbar a deuce back home. You are more than welcome to come hang out with us when we do it.

If you decide to drive it back, I would recommend posting your route and get some contact info for some members willing to help if you run into problems on the way home.

I would love to do it but I have to work that day. Stupid work it always gets in the way.....

Wow.... My wife was actually cool about my first deuce but the **** hit the fan on the second. So I sold it and now she is actually coming around. I just bought another deuce and she was actually happy for me. She says she wants someting with power steering so that will be the next buy :)

Just FYI: I recovered Fred's deuce and trailer this morning and he can now rest easy. It is sitting all nice and safe at the Thibeau Military Depot aka my backyard :)
