Thanks crowbuster and chucker!!

Trust me, those pic's do it justice. It's a 65ish F350 SRW I got for the huge price of .... come pick r up cause we ripped the box and hoist off cause of a unstrapped water tank, bout 10 years ago .... yup ... dead free .... dead truck ....

I put the B&H back on while recovering from a separated shoulder a few years back, ya good plan, and it just keeps on going .... not fast but it gets r dun!!

The newish SD is just fine, and contrary to the interweb it has been extremely reliable. If I wanted to trade off unreliable ... doz wifey would be sooo gone ...!!

Keep on .... Runnin' Loads!!

[lefturnfreek]

Just a good haha for today ....

Well I burned a few brain cells as I pieced my ugly old splitter back together. A lil major welding here and a lot of general maintenance.








I think I paid $75 for it at an auction quite a few years ago and it's still splits well .... so till it dies ... we'll run R ....











I had to reweld the ram mount as I had ripped it right off, I really gata get a bigger welder.







And on to the easy maintenance side, weld the log catcher back on and bore a hole so oil changes are waay easier. Dang high res camera's sure pick up everything, and don't leave you splitter under a pine tree, wonder who was the silly person who did that .... ha ha ....



Well boy's and girl's I'm gona be splitting for a while, pic's to come...


Keep on ...Runnin' Loads ....

 

[lefturnfreek]

So as promised I have some spliter picks .... nothing too exciting but BTU's none the less....






So I put a lil dent in that pile, I really do have to get my bale elevator put back together ... ya don't even loan one out ....





What I have to go through yet. I'm a boiler guy so this is just chunk wood, cut off's and stumps, if your wondering why none of it looks very good.



Even though the box wasn't completely empty, that pile is stacking up faster that I thought, I may run out of room, nice feeling to have.


Keep on ... Runnin' loads!!!

Why is your buddy's "Old" Ford loaded to the gunnels with monster blocks, and your "New" Ford have a bunch of light top wood on it? I know taking care of the "New" truck, can't abuse it!

I remember when you got it, that is a pretty old Ford.

Craigslist oak - already cut and mostly noodled
Figures I'd pick the hottest day to go get it...

Lol, yeah I usally don’t even put wood in it, my buddy always gives me hard time about it too but he has a newer ford he don’t haul wood in either, he’s sure not afraid to use the old one though. I’ve thought about selling it and buying one I can actually use but I just like it too much, guess I’ll just have to be careful.

 

[lefturnfreek]

I hate to say it ... cause it dates me... they don't make em like they use to ....

You chip chucker's have seen the load's my poor ol 88 has brought in over the years and the box actually doesn't look that bad. I have seen lots of on road truck way more beaten up .... and I'd like to know what they did to get them that pounded out.

Old steel, tough steel ....
