Evening Dave. I'm beat here also. Changed the 4 duels on the wrecker today. At least I got to use my own tire machine and didn't have to pay the locals $100+!

Just getting primed to go to Weimers farm tomorrow. I've got 4-5 days of prep work to get him ready for harvest.

Hey, Don........Trans exchange in Portland wants $980 for a trans for the Ranger, man that's steep but better than most.
Can I name drop and get a discount?

I've always wondered if you could put a cab on one of those. That rotisserie you have would be nice, since you can raise it so high!

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Gerry and Pat.

Cloudy, cool and breezy here this morning... Since it's still dark I can't really tell exactly what the weather is doing.

My daughter is house sitting for some friends... Which apparently means her BFF (my wife) needs to stay with her. This is my second day of batch'n it. It's a lot of extra crap to deal with all by yourself. At least I get a good nights sleep for a change.

Morning Pat! It's going to make working on the cab a bunch easier that's for sure!

If I move the piviot up another 4 holes I can turn the cab completely upside down.......

Probably not..............I haven't talked with them since I shut down my big shop in 2002.

It they only want $980 for a complete tranny you should be able to buy the parts you need for yours for a lot less?

Morning Don, Tiny! Don, I'm just going to have to live without a rotisserie. Should work out, though. That's a clean cab he's got!
