Here's what I spent a few hours on today:

Here's why:

Stock timing belt with 255,xxx miles on it, no wonder the teeth stripped off of it. All back together and it runs like a top. Sounds like a new car.

Looks like you had way too much fun today Mike. Funny how we used to think 100,000 was a lot of miles.
Well it's past my bed time so y'all have a good one.

Morning everone. My plans got canceled.I was going to take 3 oak trees down but the lift never showed up. Bummed now. I could have worked with the DNR for wildfires today. I called and left a mesage and hopefully they call back soon. If they don't call I'll work on the old truck.. All 3 dogs got into a porkypine today and are still at the vet.

Moring everybody. I pulled my winch bumper off and added to the mounting brackets to beef it up. Now I'll have 6 1/2" bolts holding it on the front of the truck. I droped the brackets off at work and had them blasted and they should be painted today.

I had a pinhole on the bottum part of a fuel tank, took a piece of flat, sanded it and used superglue to glue it over the hole, worked great.
Had to keep wiping it clean before glueing and had to be fast to push it on but hell, it's prop. still there.

Good morning Y'all.

I've never tried super glue on a gas tank, I'll have to remember that.
