FC vs PT re; Repairs and Complexities

[martymc_99]

As a relatively mechanically
challenged "wanabee" (maybe can handle a spin on oil filter!)...are the
FC's less or maybe more difficult to keep running than say a mid 80's
PT? Also, along the same theme...is a mid 90's PTs less likely to have
repair "issues"? Other than the fact it is newer?

Seems to me the BB's are substantially more mechanically complex...ie
multiple of everything? Should I maybe look for a pop-up trailer? Or
should I get a diesel mechanic on retainer?

What say you??? Tom Rootness in Northern Minnesota

P.S. I also posted on the other BB site...hope that is not against the
Law!
