Hey man welcome back… this sight has been pretty quiet here lately all and all . I think people have run short of conversation

I understand in thier day they were dogs for thier size and weight,, they really didn’t do any better than the 673… that’s why thier wasn’t many of them sold … Bob

I (WAS) curious if he realized he was already done with the switch??????

I thought that was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen driving all night while everybody was asleep after doing it for 40 years didn’t seem so cool anymore ha ha

I’m sure it was the same thrill. I got riding with my pup at 14 years old in a 69U model.

Oh my God, I guess it’s like the Thanksgiving of machinery ha ha

I did not like the idea either, but seems he got it all together without an issue

Isn’t the truck for sale right now?

All kidding aside great progress bud… thanks for keeping us updated… Bob

Not even the poloroid swinger??? And yes I’m sure you remember them bob

Excellent man thanks for the post … I started mine today just to locate a power steering leak come to find out steering box is leaking and pump needs rebuilding that otta be an expensive SOB looks like I’ll be saving both parts till last… Bob

Oh no I love to throw this around 15 more months brother and yes, I see some very rude steering wheel holders for one thing they need to lower our speed limit 80 mile an hour. Big rigs tailgating the shit out of cars that don’t feel like driving that fast. That’s bullshit. Not to mention no class and no manners. It’s not your road truck monkey get it.??????

But then I have been running freight trucks about all my life don’t know a whole lot about heavy shit… Bob

Missed this one. Somehow I have never heard of parking brakes on both axles…. Bob

Those last couple posts were supposed to go to kaboom I don’t know how they wound up here, but I guess rowdy started talking about fixing dryers….. Bob

Hey, thanks for the good cheer Joey and have a fabulous weekend. I am still drinking coffee trying to wake up had to wash the morning dishes because the old lady is out training for another marathon.

And yes, rowdy I recently ordered a spring for a Briggs & Stratton and that shipping was more than the part

Yes, I just fixed our dryer. Maybe mention that Amazon had all the parts it was squealing. I think I only paid like 40 bucks for an entire roller belt kit. It was a ball buster. Good to get a part but I saved a lot of money no more noises. I was just going to recommend a new dryer, but the old lady didn’t want to pay 900 bucks. So chalk up one more honeydew ha ha

I have heard through the years some of these rip off shops charge you for stuff they never dead, such as oil changes and new transmission so on so forth… Bob

Of course, right away, I had to pull out the dipstick to see where that was, and make sure the oil was fresh

But yes, that spare tire deal was ridiculous. Reminds me a few years back I decided to take my Taurus to Jiffy Lube while I’m paying the bill. The girl tells me yeah man we topped off all your fluids. Next time I picked up the hood the right fluid was down in about an inch, I thought OK I see you topped off everything ha ha

I haven’t done ball joints in a long time, but the last time I did, I had to burn out rivets with a torch and sometimes they have to be pressed in and out .. like he said I wouldn’t expect Walmart or Costco to do anything else I don’t even think Costco does oil change I am not certain what are usually have them do are the tires but we have a repair shop that does all our repairs. They are not cheap, but they don’t sell you anything you don’t need any more with my schedule I just have them do all my work on our every day drivers I have enough to do around here between the Mack and the mowers in the honeydews ha ha oh sure you fellows have the same issue with the long ass work schedule . Possibly if I was 9 to 5 I would take care of a little bit of the auto repairs. Bob

Saturday at last ha ha got to sleep in two extra hours should be a pretty good weekend first mow and edge of the season thought it was never get here… get the barbecue porch ready put out all my ornaments possibly a little work on the Mack 1st cup to think it over go to at least see why am I power steering is leaking .. Bob

Back when it was around 50 cents here.. somebody was telling me it was around 175 over there.. no wonder most folks have small cars.. Bob

I heard years ago gasoline has always been a fortune in Europe.. Bob
