I've had this Ford F250 diesel for going on 26 years now. The darned old thing started to really go down hill when I got my 2007 and started leaving this one outside a few years ago. The fuel gauge was the first thing to go,then the rear fuel tank. The cab corner on the drivers side gave out and I had to wire it ahead so the door would close. Now the rocker panel has dropped down so all that's holding it up is the seat belt. I have to use ether to start it the first time in the morning. About all I use it for is hauling hay or moving cattle around if I need to stay hooked to the stock trailer for a few days. I made a gooseneck hitch for the 3pt on the tractors,so I could just as well be using one of them for those jobs. I was hauling hay with the old heifer yesterday and ran it out of fuel I guess. That's how it acted anyway. I unhooked the trailer and the wife and I towed it up in the yard out of the way. After all those years,I sure hate to retire it,but keeping plates and insurance on something in that kind of shape seems like a waste. I'd like to find a newer fuel injected gas Ford 4x4 to put that flatbed and the duals on. Maybe if I live without this one for a while,it'll give me more incentive to actually do it instead of just talking about it. The wife's Explorer Sport Trac is getting pretty thin around the edges. I guess if I bought a better gasser for a farm truck,she could have my 07 F250.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
