That's cool that you have a trailer hook up on your truck. How do you like your zero turn motor? Gas or diesel? Cutting width?

I had a bumper hitch before, not that I have a proper hitch, it is slick.
The mower is an Arien's 50 inch cut gas mower. It sure is handy and makes mowing the lawns easier. My mother in law bought it used from her granddaughter. Of course it is having issues. I replace the fuel pump, filter and air filter and plugs. ONe cylinder is not always running strong. I think I will need to replace the coils now. Just another thing to add to the list.
Daughter just walked in. She has sciatic pain, so I need to give her a massage. gotta try washing my hands one more time to get the grease and oil smell out. Got the drums removed trom my new rear. Later get them to the store to have the drums turned.....and spend a bunch on brake parts.

Picked up some straw bales for my daughters 14th birthday party this weekend. I really enjoyed using my farm truck to haul hay.

Exactly, it's a special feeling using my truck as it was used back in the day by family.

It's the same truck. That passenger side has more rust and the avatar picture just has lighting that makes it more yellow. It's Sea Sprite Green.
You know, I've never really thought about the hood being more rusted on that side. I guess I'm just looking at one side at a time.

The Red Truck bakery is a great place, it’s near Middleburg. The truck has been around for a few years.

I bet you get a lot of double takes and thumbs up when they see your old Ford pulling a camper.
