When I saw this title I was thinking you made afew runs with the Mustang....
I didnt do anything that drastic, mainly the PA car show and work around the yard.
Also I sold the JD 755 garden tractor to a friend.

I sold it for what I paid for it 4-5 year ago, $12,000. It had a front end loader, rear 3 point hitch 5 ft mover, rear blade, cultivator and rototiller.
Ha, ha, I`ve got way better hobbies than yard work, a couple of Bobcat hours beats most of a day doing yard work............It was mainly for the neighbors.
Now the Ford 800 takes over the yard work.

Thats not too bad of a price. Those attachments can get pretty pricey.

I did "First Call" when the new pad was being poured, so I knew where the power and gas lines were, I just thought that the power line was going to be about 18" deep, so I was going fairly shallow over the line and at 14" I hit GOLD.
It was going along nicely and then all of a sudden a very bright flash like I had a herd of papperatzi around me, so I look around and no one, look into the trench and some nicely chewed up cable were looking up at me
The gas line was no where near my trenches so I wasn't worried about that one, and SaskPower fixes cut cable for FREE SaskTel charges and won't be coming till early this week.....

As for the mustang, the car isn't running wroth a S&*T with the Tweecer hooked up. I got the tuner put on a month ago and it worked perfect for the first 2 weeks and the custom tune was amazing, but all of a sudden with the chip hooked up the car won't run, works fine with out it.
So I have checked everthing twice and am waiting on word back from Ed at Wolf Performance in Winnipeg to get back to me on it. He is supposed to be one of the best EEC-IV tuners in Canada.

I don't know if I would call that excitment or not. As for me I went on a motorcycle run for the Ride for Site fundraiser yesterday and today we went and sat in the park and Amy played in the paddling pool.

It`s not just the attachments, the 755-mfwd was mint with only careful 525 hrs on it. There`s a 2 wh drive 755 JD at Moody`s Equipment for $7,500 with only a mower, no loader or other attachments that looks like it`s been used up while being badly abused.
