Hello all,
I joined the forums to get some information on MVs as a gentleman farmers work truck and bug-out truck if need be. I am sure a lot of information is already in the forums and will try to search it before starting new threads, but I wanted to ask this simple question. Is it realistically possible to own a MV and maintain it without being a mechanic? Nearly 18 years currently serving and it seems that that Deuces and 5T were constantly breaking down. Is it the rental car effect where the operators don't really care or is it the quality of the MV and it's parts?
Also, would most diesel shops be able to repair and are parts readily available for both the Deuce and the 5T family?
Thanks again, and I look forward to learning from the group.
