I downloaded all the manuals last night and will start reading them today. Looks like there is a manual specifically addressing inspection of the truck.
It seems that in my searches, some people recommend always towing/trailering the deuce home even if it is drivable? Assuming the truck looks roadworthy, is it hard/impossible to get the paperwork needed to drive legally on the roadway without the title?
A local farmer close to my brother offered to trailer it back for $4 a loaded mile or about $800. My brother has access to a company trailer that routinely hauls 15,000 but it has no trailer brakes and is known for blowing tires. Replacing tires would be $400 a pop (pun intended), plus the idea of towing that much weight behind a one ton truck with no trailer breaks would be interesting.
Lastly, could someone point me to a section of do’s and don’ts on deuce recoveries? I’m sure it is in the forum someplace, but I am missing it in my searches. (This is a huge forum with tons of information, I just don’t know the key words to finding it just yet.)
Thanks for all the help,
Mike
