Frankly 5seasonsinc, I'm sure you picked it up for nothing at auction. Sell it just to recover your money, and don't look back. Cut your losses short. This thing is like a hot potato.
Honestly, we didn't. The boss's friend has literally been the owner since he brought it up from Texas off an eBay auction. I don't think he particularly cared about anything but the motor, all he did was blast around gravel roads in rural Iowa.
