Thank You

You're covered somewhat to the point of overkill.  It's a comfort thing but not sure you need an extra motor.  Maybe someone who has had one die will chime in. I would order the complete motor set though because replacing just the motor is a bit of work.  Congrats in advance on your Huky purchase.  :)

Got it and made some adjustments.  I'm going with the solid drum 72rpm set up.  But I'm adding a spare perforated drum and rather than an extra 72rpm motor I'll order the 48rpm complete motor set/box. I'll be sure to specify to send with solid drum installed.

Just for grins, I'll say now that I think your HUKY will get delivered with the perforated drum installed and the solid on the side. 

The perforated drum is normal.  The solid drum means Mr. Li has to change it.   If you order only a perforated drum, it will arrive installed, but to date, everyone who has ordered the solid drum with the perforated on the side has reported that their rig arrived with the perforated installed and the solid on the side.

There is really nothing to be done unless you want to order the perf now and the solid later. 

And....I might even be wrong....it happens. ;)  but itt helps to keep in mind that the plain vanilla original HUKY has a perforated drum.   

There is no reason at all for this comment except to put myself on record and to see what really happens :-))))))))

Thanks for the heads up. I'll expect perforated installed.  I sent payment to Mr. Li today...he wrote back right away and said that it would be shipped in 5 to 8 days.
And I'll be skipping the propane tank. (Getting the butane IR) Lol. Oops on me listing that. Thanks for catching that. Haha
I'm really looking forward to learning how to use the Huky. 
Thanks again for all of the advice. I'll update when it arrives all along with number.
