Heres one I bought sight unseen from Craigslist in Nov 2017...It was at Salina,KS and he was asking $1,600 for this 113,000 mile 1991 Ford Ranger XLT with a V-6 and
automatic..It had been for sale for about 4 weeks when I contacted him...It was bought new in McPherson,KS and was a one owner until 2017 when the elderly owner had to
quit driving..A guy in Salina bought it and after a few months decided to sell it as none of his kids wanted to drive it...I asked the seller what the bottom dollar was and he
said $1,300...I said if you will meet me at Braums in Emporia,KS I'll take it..The only thing that didnt work was the AC and he told me that.

So,I and a friend drove to Emporia,KS in late Nov 2017...It was 80 degrees that day..After getting there my friend said aren't you going to drive it..I said no because I told the
owner I'd take it no matter what as he met me halfway to save us over 100 miles...He gave me a list of things he'd done to it such as new carrier bearing, new plugs, new
wires, new fuel filter, etc plus it had a full tank of gas...

Its been a great little truck to run around in and go to farm sales, etc..When I got it home I crawled underneath and it sure enough had a new carrier bearing..It now has
129,000 miles on it and the only thing I had to do was put a new alternator on it..The original finally went bad...The Firestone spare tire had never been on the ground..

I normally dont buy a vehicle without driving it but this one worked out great..

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par ... [Read Article]
