Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

[tbone75]

It is a Ranger isn't it? I wouldn't ask. A mechanic here had one and the sun roof screwed up and it quit charging. Two alternators later he fixed the sun roof issue one day and bamn it was charging again.

Yep , 98 Ferd Ranger. Only reason I have a Ferd it was cheap when I needed a truck. LOL My Nephew bought it with a blown motor and wrecked. He fixed it up and needed to sell it. I needed a truck,so I bought the thing. LOL Only needed a bumper and grill & motor. 4x4 with a 4 liter & 4 doors. Nice little truck for a Ferd. LOL

Not really a Ferd guy.. but I'll also be the first to admit they all have strong points and all have weak points. Choose your poison at this point.

I am no Ferd guy either ! It was just cheap at the right time. LOL I like my Chevys !
Not sure why I have 3 Ferd trucks ? ............................. Oh yea , CHEAP ! LOL The rolled over Ranger I only bought to help my SIL out. The F150 I bought just to haul wood. Least there all 4x4s , 2x here is useless !

No .................... All you did was warm it up ! :msp_scared:

 

[Jimmy in NC]

Well it looks like it's going to be damp around here most of the week. We deserve it after a beautiful week last week and honestly my flowers were looking a bit parched.

 

[tbone75]

oh my flowers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jimmy in NC]

Ok the flowers consist of three Lantana (sp?) plants. They pretty much cover one end of the house in the summer and grow so big it makes the bed between the drive and house look full. Seeing as how we are trying to list this house for sale.. I'm all for low maintenance flowers for curb appeal... actually I'm all for green grass everywhere and clip it once a week with the mower... perspective buyers and she who must be obeyed think differently.

Better watch out....Grape Ape's are learning how to use door knobs...

Fixed it for you there Sparky!

Looks like I may be opening a saw shop soon? One guy says he has a ton of work, and knows people wih more?

 

[Jimmy in NC]

Be cautious what you take in at first but have fun with it! It's a good way to stay busy.

I like working on saws best, but I can easily do most 4strokes. I have rebuilt enough mowers, tractors, and old engines... I almost have enough tools for 2 mechanics? Finally got a proper vacuum tester yesterday.

 

[jimdad07]

Avoid the non paying customers and do good work, it will work out fine.

 

[Jimmy in NC]

Not doubting your ability in the least.. just saying I have to be careful what I take in. Some people just won't pay to fix it proper. I make it VERY clear up front that I'll fix it like it was my own. I don't work for flat rate or have any fixed pricing. My hourly rate is 1/3 the going shop rate in my local area. If they like it, fine. Any issues and I remind them they can take it down the road. Again I think you'll enjoy it. I sure find it relaxing after work all day...

 

[tbone75]

I am stihl a slacking Slug. Getting a little better now , so maybe I can run a saw ? If not , bet they don't go nowhere ! LOL
