Yes, the 300-6 was a durable engine, no raving powerhouse but held up well. I had a '78 F150 4wd I bought used, 27,000 miles in 2 years. Thing nickled and dimed me to death. I had to rebuild the Carter YF-1 carb 3 or 4 times, the Dura-Spark ignition box failed which they ALL did, I got sucked into cheap rebuilt waterpumps which needed replacing about every 20,000 miles, front disk brakes that tended to sieze the pistons in the calipers and drag, OH, the BIG hit was replacing all the tierods and tierod ends, even with a commercial account that was $400. And for some reason I traded it for a brand new '87 F-150, same 300-6 but EFI, same 4-speed, but Twin-Traction Beam frt axle. It was surprisingly less prone to break-down. For most half-ton pickup uses, a 351 V-8 is a much better engine. I drove my 300-6's like an old lady and got 12-14 mpg, My SON had a '93 F-150 Lightning pickup, Hot-Rod 351-W, E4OD auto trans, 4.10 gears and He got 14 mpg driving lime an idiot. Forget the 302 V8.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
