Dang you can only embed 3 quotes in a row lol.....

I know I'd regret selling them especially the crew cab. But on the flip side its so dang expensive to insure and license all these vehicles... I have 4 tagged and 3 insured plus a trailer and motor cycle. and I'm thinking about dropping the insurance on the crew after Michaels thing.

Pops got his tractor back the other day. Stupid, simple fix for the fuel issue and a new starter got her running real nice. We (me) need to reinstall the thermostart so it will fire without ether in the cold. Anybody know where I can find some rear tires?

What does the thermostat have to do with it starting? Or not the water thermostat?

What's that white truck in the garage?

Its thermostart Pete. It shoot warm fuel into the intake so it will start when its cold out.

The truck on jackstands is a 1st gen dakota with a 426ci smallblock. It goes 10.80s. Beside it is his ratrod, you can just see the corner of the bed.

Theyre cracked and rotted pretty bad Caleb. He found some on ebay, near new, for $365 each in chillicothe oh. The fuel issue was that neither of us found the ip bleeder screw high on the inside of the pump. That explains why itd start by cracking the injectors. Couple this with a weak starter and you get total aggrovation of my dad who is new to diesel tractors lol. To make it worse, he has a fuel system book for this thing i didnt know about and he hasnt opened!

A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, "What's with those guys? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!"
The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golf!"
The priest said, "Here comes the green-keeper. Let's have a word with him."
He said, "Hello George, what's wrong with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?"
The green-keeper replied, "Oh, yes. That's a group of blind firemen. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."
The group fell silent for a moment.
The priest said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."
The doctor said, "Good idea. I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there's anything he can do for them."
The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?"

Rumble I'm very close to chillecothe if you need them picked up or looked at. What size are the tires? Pulloff.com has some that come up very once in a while.
