Nice truck
and 3/4 ton for when you indulge

 

[cobey]

That is a nice truck ...... way nicer than mine !
If I had one like that it wouldn't be pretty long

 

[cobey]

I had to cut wood last night ..... a little echo took a crap (carb )
Grabbed the old 360 Homelite..... before the last cuts the rope broke
Put a rope in it, and finished.
Today worked at the hot rod shop. I got the front end, brakes, and rear suspension
Done. After 6 days of work I'm pooped

Nice looking truck.

Eh.. It's a little mushy compared to mine.. But as long as mama's happy I guess..

 

[awol]

At least it's the right flavor!

 

[Hedgerow]

Did you sell my favorite ford?

Not happening Mike..
Rest assured..

 

[Hedgerow]

At least it's the right flavor!

Blueberry??

 

[cobey]

It will be good and reliable, and able to do work if it
Has to
I want a 3/4 ton some day. I miss my 76 Ford HEAVY 3/4
390 4speed .. it was a beast, it just worn out

 

[cobey]

Trucks are like saws for me, I like most flavors.....
I mostly ran Chevy engines I'm my race cars, they were cheap, and be built
To run strong I had a diehard Ford guy giving me heck
About a stroker motor he had and how I needed a Ford to put it in I told him to cough it up and
Would put it in my GM ...... he didn't tell me that anymore

Evilbay 028 has turned into a money pit. We are upside down in it with more parts needed including a handle/fuel tank.

Some fool ran a 2 1/4" sheet metal screw thru the rear mount into the tank. It will be a seeper or leaker for sure. All bottom buffer mounts are shot. Havn't paid for the special spur/drum yet. Bet that pup is well past the fifteen bucks I normally pay.[emoji11]

Its a crap shoot.

And,........Morning Kenneth.

Got the J-Red 670 running. Needs new rubber goods in the carb yet.

 

[cuttinties]

Trucks aren't showing up at the rate we'd like to see. But I'm hoping that Monday and Tuesday we can get 8 loads out. Looking at the forecast I regret taking the weekend off.

But on the other hand I guess they're getting closer to having the 548 ready to go.

Bit of advise on the 028's Carl..
If you find drums and oil pumps, pick up whatever you can.. They are officially "NLA" at the dealers..

This one takes the long spur w/washer and snap ring. Counterman didn't mention NLA so we will see.

Recoil for MS441 be here Tuesday. Piston/cylinder look good on him.

It's NLA the bearings are even hard to find. I've got an extra oiler/worm gear if you need it

028? We are good on the oil pump misc. and the spur/drum is actually serviceable.

I normally replace the spur as SOP for saws destined for C-List.

I switched the 2 028's here over to rim/drum set ups..
Saved the spurs, so if you're in a pickle, I got a few parts.
Even got a spare ported 028 here in need of a different carb..

Ported?

The Taiwan p/c kit I got off evilbay has, in my opinion, a very poorly cast intake tract. But, I've nothing to compare it to. Just looks like it needs cleaned up. No 'timing' change desired.

Speaking of evilbay: I just looked at my credit card account. I've been a bad boy.[emoji12]

Too many Stihl parts in the pipeline.
