Well lets see here I have had three pick ups that really tryed my patience's First was a 1970 ford 3/4 tone two wheel drive plane jane as it was stuck on level ground in mid summer on a flat grassy field the second was a 1978 Ford F250 4x4 snow patrol as the night i bought it it never made it home from the dealership and had to be towed back and spent seven months out of the first twelve being worked on . The next was my 88 Ford F350 4X4 , bought it used with PROBLEMS just knowing i could fix it , yea wright . was getting parts for it one day and at the Ford dealer and i was expressing my displeasure over the fgact that the part that i just installed failed only after three week and the parts i had on order were on back order and should have been upgraded to a critical unit down order and were not when the service manager came in and asked me what the problem was , WRONG THING TO DO WITH ME as i plum unloaded on him and plum backed him into a corner and was about a hick up away from flat out layen him out on the floor when he asked where this truck was at . Asked him why and he said that there maybe some recalls on it and he would check , well he did check and yep there were and Ford said that they would do all and repaint the truck for free . Well they did o the recalls and Ford put now get this 14942 dollars into a truck that i paid 7000 for . Still have the WRO's on it . But that still did not fix it and spent the next year chasen stuff on it . By the time the truck had a 120000 miles on it we got all the bugs worked out and it served me well to 289000 miles when i sold it to a farmer out around Bucyerus Oh. As for tractors . That has to be a Farmall 460 gasser with S/N 571 the 70th 460 built plum hated that tractor and i believe it hated me too . There were two days that i was glad that i had that tractor . The day i bought it and the day i sold it . Still in the area and that is one tractor that i would NOT BUY BACK .

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
