Bill how would you classify this 3781 I got a few days ago??
The color is a bit off, the winch is fine, as is the ladder, and its whole system....theres is only a considerable amount of dust...Nice to know how to disassemble the whole think so that i can get it cleaned 
They're great, but loney fire trucks! They only match themselves with no other series to even come close to that day glow orange. From seeing your pictures I would rate your truck a 3 to 3.5 depending on visual inspection of 1. tire wear 2.decals being ripped or torn with proper location or improperly positioned (straight & even) 3. If there is any plastic discoloration/fading 4. Completeness of accessories, figures, equipment, etc. 5. Looseness of components such as black ladder elevation support, 4 grey stabilizer supports, etc.
To disassemble the whole truck, start by pulling the wheels & axles from the chassis. When you put pressure on the axles the black locks will pop out releasing the entire axles. Do this procedure to all 3 assemblies. Next remove the 4 grey stabilizers from the chassis by pulling them into their "in use" position & giving each a quick jerk to release them from their storage slots. Next slide the 2 grey lower compartment drawers all of the way out to their open position, & get a small flat head type screw driver with masking tape wrapped around the flat bottom so you can slide the screw driver in between the white chassis, & the grey drawer locking tab. Pull on the drawers to release them from the chassis while the small screw driver is in between the chassis & lock slide. Next get a wooden clothes hanging pin, the kind with a spring in the middle & separate it then use it to push the fingers for the ladder turntable base toward the middle of the chassis above where the 2 rear dual tandam axles were located. You should feel the fingers unlock the turn table, then push the assembly clearing the fingers from their locking slots. Next remove the cable winch from its storage compartment by using one half of the clothes pin to push the locking tab up to slide it out of its compartment similtaneously. Next disable the rear cab locking tabs located inside where you just removed the lower grey storage drawers. Push the tabs toward the out side edge of the chassis. Once they are unlocked through the chassis approx. 1/2 inch, then go to the very front bottom of the chassis on either side of the cable winch mount housing & there should be a LH & RH black interior locking tab. You need to use the small screw driver again & gently pry each tab toward the front of the chassis releasing the entire cab from the chassis. I recommend also using large wooden wedge door shims to keep the components from relocking into their original position until the entire disassembly is complete. Let me know if this helps or you need additional assistance.
