Gringletaube, what is PU adhesive? I like your idea and will give it a try..

I had a theory going in my head, it may not be the cause but I think it accentuates the problem. Firstly has anyone seen or heard of anyone putting the bigger tires on an A2 and then getting death wobble? If not we have to look at the primary difference in the front ends, which would be the...

I recently purchased and retrieved my A3, I had kenny pick it up from Mccoy and bring it to his shop. He sent a video of the deathwobble, we test drove it and found the same problem. After some inspection, everything looked ok in the front end except that the passenger steer tire had an odd...

C'mon kenny, since it was mine you drove, are you bad mouthin' my baby? i Ya know it didn't occur one time all the way home, got a little (slight ) shimmy in curves at speed though. It would seem once the tires warm up , it goes away. The next day it was back at low speeds (35ish)

never mind, i looked it up, it will fit. Man every body always says use the search function, couldn't find what i wanted, used google, linked me back to ss and went right to the proper thread. Go figure. And yes i read the post by clinto on using the search function.:-) In regards to Oldfarts...

Ok , dad just left with 15k backhoe so it will hold the weight, The trailer is 24 ft from front of deck(bumper touching gooeneck) to end of flat with about 5 ft dovetail, that should be long enough right? Need to come up with afew more binders, my state requires 4 seperate points of...

Thanks chief, That sounds good, we had planned to give it a good going thru , but basically only visual checks. I do think tha trailering will save quite a bit of money in Fuel and possible breakdowns .Tag thing doesn't scare me will have all paperwork from GL, already have insurance on it, but...

I think we may habve changed our mind on driving it back from wis., We found out my father has access to a 3500 chvy dually and pretty big gooseneck, (will find out how big tonight when he picks up backhoe to move) I think it would be safer , faster ,cheaper . However less fun , maybe trailer...

Thats is the first I have ever heard that.I can't say with 100% certainty, but I don't believe that to be true. My brother does all the paperwork thru gl, He's pretty thorough I can't believe he would have missed something like that, plus also if true I would think someone would have pointed out...

I guess we decided to try the auction route first also wanted an a3 because newer, thought would sell better, but will be about 3-4k more to sell , so this was the experiment, but honestly in hindsight may have been better off to get one local and then go further. Maybe we should have waited for...

well, i could close out my retirement funds and invest heavily in OD GREEN futures, If only I had a retirement fund, oh well. Also need to get onto lot and see , i am guessing at number, may be alot more than previously stated, definatly not less.Problem is I don't have a clue how many...

Thanks Rick, that does make sense, will have to see how things go, I thought about approching the guy and seeing what he would have to have fopr all plus the property, He ha sa building (large) stuffed full of parts, also have to get a better feel for whats on the lot, what runs, etc. That...

73m819, Ron, you've been wwith this post since the beginning practically, i Do appreciate your input. thanks to yopu and all others. On the subject of the 819 in your avatar, How rare are they, and do they still show up on gl. Probably one of the coolest trcks on here,IMO., I want one.

I need to sit down with my insurance agent and make sure she fully understands what is involved , we discussed it briefly and she of course said no problem we can set it up. No discussion of cost or anything, i directed her to look at a picture of actual deuce and pics of bobbed trucks. So that...

dealers licsence in the plan right after we see how easy/hard it is to offload the first oneIhave talked to a few places doing the bobs , say they average 1 sale every 3 weeks, That would be great but think 1 every month or 2 probably safer bet.only time will tell. Want to make sure I don't...

Chief, we're almost at a nickle now. ha ha. Most everything on the list has been either checked out or at least discussed, the major variables will be purchase price, "the 87 little things" and retrieval costs. As for previous business experience, a littleI had my own diesel repair shop in...

Attitude was honestly just the way i normally type. I hate to type , so i was cutting things short etc. If you met me you would know there is no attitude here nor am I a smart alec. Sorry I came across that way,unintentional.

One thing I've noticed in the last day or so this thred has run, is that now that I have removed my control unit from my caboose about the hot shot, I seem to be getting encouragement in my proposed venture. So again , thanks to all who helped put me on the "path to enlightenment" Still haven't...

Ron, thats kinda the plan, I live in farm country, as does my brother, every teenage boy around here has a dodge /cummins turned up, turbo's singing and black smoke rolling.They are also big 4 wheel drive nuts , so we figure build 'em , drive'em ,show 'em off free advertising. I also pm'd...

If I do start parting out trucks, which part are just scrap, which are gold and whats worth sitting on.I've read that wheel bearings for a3's pretty pricey is it worth my time to part out an axle or better to sell complete?
