My new to me even older Ford. (tractor) - Page 5

This time, tell Buford to practice holding a steady hand.

I have been using the tractor to load up junk that I sold all morning. It sure helps with the heavy lifting. Even with the weak hydraulics it still gets it done.

One load going away. Going to take him three trips to haul my junk for me. He gave me more than scrap price for my stuff and I didn't have to haul it.

katoranger · 12-19-2015, 01:22 PM

I even got some video.

SpudRider · 12-19-2015, 06:06 PM

Every farm needs a tractor.

Buford did a great job filming the video.

He must have been seated on your lap while recording it.

Weldangrind · 12-21-2015, 12:08 PM

Thanks for the ride.

Was that Booger's cab you were loading?

Adjuster · 12-21-2015, 07:56 PM

Hey I see your new camper back there also. Please give an update if you've made any camper progress. Piece of advice when the weather turns cold campers become a spider paradise. Bug bomb it a couple times before you go messing around in there.

Booger is gone. I just got back from Minnesota and yesterday traded some thing for another 24 foot camper. It is best suited for parts.

Update on the fifth wheel. Rook leaks repaired. Dad started rebuilding some of the slide wall in the bedroom. Most of the old ceiling has been removed. Right rear corner will need floor replaced.

Total dollars spent on repairs. $10. He has dug out junk from my piles to fix things.

We have spiders here.

Weldangrind · 01-05-2016, 11:39 AM

We're gonna need pics.

katoranger · 01-05-2016, 02:53 PM

I will start a new thread.

katoranger · 01-17-2016, 04:52 PM

Emilie and I used it to clean up branches Friday.

Made a 3 point trailer mover from the hitch off the big gulp.

Hauled off the old HVAC last week. Got a new one finally.

SpudRider · 01-17-2016, 05:49 PM

My goodness, I don't see any snow in East Kansas!

katoranger · 01-17-2016, 09:18 PM

It was 50 on Friday. About 16 and snowing tonight. I have a 2 hour drive in the morning with the trailer to get a car. Hoping not much of it.

katoranger · 01-26-2016, 07:43 PM

Will be picking up a dirt scoop later this week from a friend. Might also have made a deal on a 1950 Chevy 3800 dump truck.

Weldangrind · 01-27-2016, 10:56 AM

Awesome! That would be a thread I would subscribe to. I love old Chev trucks.

katoranger · 01-27-2016, 11:29 AM

Not sure if I want the project or not. Ran 3 years ago. Needs an exhaust manifold and new tires. I think the asking price of $500 is decent.
