Hey everyone my name is tony (or apparently... Wayne?) and I live in the north Shore area of mass. Somewhere between Malden and the NH line on any given day....

I purchased and then subsequently began repairing this 1997 one ton 7.3 diesel.

yes and no... a friend of mine owns the business (which has SCREECHED to a halt in the last 1.5 weeks) and lets me use the space occasionally. For my "bread and butter" I repair snowblowers, boats, cars and light trucks. It's rare I work on a bus, but they have people here for that if you're in need....
for profit, I'm in the process of restoring a Chrysler 250 inboard engine from a 1973 century resorter boat. Automotive enthusiasts would call it a "340".
Oh and if anyone wants a Snowblower, LMK, my last two winters have been less than ideal.

BIGKEN:stinson491 here .I am slowly getting to figure out how to get into the different sites,but don't know where to post them so that whomever i send them to,will get what i am talking about. I have been a mechanic most of my 80 yrs. starting out working in a lawnmower repair shop,then working as a gas station mechanic for 5 yrs.then i enlisted in the US COAST GUARD,for 6 yrs.discharged as third class petty officer EN3. Went to work as a heavy equipment mech.got my Mass.crane opperators permit [ unlimited cable class B.worked at it for14 yrs.-Went to Mercury marine school in Aurban Ma.for outboard motors and inboard and inboard outboard motors,after 13 yrs.with a Master Mechanics rating. I then started my own mobile repair business , going to the customers house or dock ,and was very successful at it . I retired a year ago .I could see ahead when every thing was becoming computer controlled ,that i was not going to be able to keep up without spending a lot of money and time,so i said sianora to the occupation. I used to say "I can fix anything but the crack of dawn or a broken heart."!!! Not so much any more..
