Had a fun week here at the farm with fixit shit. We got a free 1991 F150 4x4 cause it let the old farmer drive to the field but then would let him walk home LOL. We changed the ECM from one of our old parts trucks and now have another fuel truck that drives just fine and rides pretty fair with her new shock absorbers.
Then Wednesday a truck rolled in the yard hauling a 1995 F150 with a problem the 19 year old driver wanted help with. How the [L] he managed to break the adapter from the transmission to the transfer case, I'll never know but he did. Him and my boy went to wrenching and got her tore apart, I went to a used auto parts store 100 miles North and got him another for $50 and as I was lending him the money to fix it anyway he also got 4 universal joints for the drive line they replaced with a mite of supervision. Sure wish I had the strength them young bucks got as they put the transfer case back on without a jack or block. While this was taking place Thursday eve another old truck come driving in and it was another young guy who occasionally stops in and his starter quit working so he wanted some advice. Told him to take it off and we just cleaned it up and especially any place that had electrical connections. He put her back on and grinned like the Chesire cat when it rolled over. Then the three of them finished battoning down the other truck which runs good again. Somewhere in all the wrenching someone musta texted someone as a another old truck show's up with two guys and 24 beer the lads enjoyed around the cement pad after they cleaned up the work area. While at the junk yard I met a fellow from 40 miles North who was cleaning his yard and he had a '85 F150 he would haul to my place for $300 so I guess I'll see what I bought in a few days.LOL
