A Ford Excursion is almost as rare as a unicorn around here
But , this one has a rebuilt transmission/transfercase , set me back 500$ and I had to put 300$ into it to pass a 2 year road legal I figure why not .
Polly regret that decision later Lol

I miss our Excursion. Have the 6.Blow, and it started giving me fits. Injectors, FICM, etc. I fixed it all up, was running tip top, and sold it. The guy put over 45,000 miles on it pulling his camper, then at a little over 200K the turbo took a crap.A Ford Excursion is almost as rare as a unicorn around here

When it ran good, it was awesome. Great power, and great MPGs for a 3/4 - 1 ton truck.
I’m on the hunt for a clean one with a 7.3.

Both plugs are good enough. I just happen to use NGK all the time. They are BOTH made as cheap as possible in 3rd world countries by extremely low paid people.
Its is scary seeing the pictures.

Mill 'em, nails be damned.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. There's a concrete slab system by a brand called Cupolex using interconnecting plastic domes, eliminating the largely pointless concrete of conventional slabs in areas that add nothing useful to the strength of the slab. I've used it a few times and like it. The old-timer builders were ahead of their time I guess. Formwork for walls though, that's interesting.
Been over 150 years since lead acid batteries were developed and we still haven't got a good replacement for vehicle starter batteries. It won't be long now though....
Oh, and BTW, given the Chinese origin of that TEMco grinder, I wondered how long it would be before it washed ashore here in NZ. Well, it's here now, as another brand. I don't think TEMco have the control they'd like us to believe.
A couple of new releases in the cordless top handle market.

Got a little more done at the big oak today.
Time for another splitting session.
Can anyone tell me what tree this is? I think it might be walnut but not sure.
Gonna end up being an expensive day.
My right lower ball joint actually sheared while I was driving today and in turn blew out the cv joint and bent the steering arm. It’s 58 miles from home right now so I’ll figure that out tomorrow.

So I tried making some bark “shingles” just for fun for some of the wood I’m processing at my sons school. Went by during rain on Thursday. It’s....sort of....working [emoji23] if the pieces were longer, more regular, and I had more of them maybe it would work better. In other words if it was completely different lol
Here’s chopping them off the rounds.

I had my fingers crossed it was gonna be a 242xp. But a old 254 will still get it done! Order a carb kit and get that old girl into some wood!!

Stock for stock a 254 will take an NE 346s lunch money. I saw the videos on O P E so it must be true.

Good lord. Glad you are safe....? If you have a HD truck check out dynatrac. They have HD ball joints that are greaseable and rebuildable. They have other AWSOME stuff too.
ALL AMERICAN MADE
If you have a chevy they dont make stuff for you i think. Only solid axle truck stuff. ....i think.

Make a cut or show some wood grain.
Looks like it COULD be walnut.

Dang, 3.9HP? Thanks for the link!! This is the older non-XP labeled model, thinking late 80s or early 90s. I saw a thread that said you can tell by the first three numbers in the serial (912 on mine). Maybe a 1991??http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.n...5588e8406517c2bd88256d09001fa279?OpenDocument

I filled her up with fuel, no dice. Then I saw fuel leaking out onto the rear handle. Probably needs fuel lines? Also, I didn’t see a choke? Just a switch with no markings. Maybe I had it in the off position? LOL.
Need to find a manual. I have the case for it too, so it’ll have a good home while not in use.
