The plow works great.

Damn fine Dadding, sir!

 

Today on Past Tech with Rusty we are back at the 66 Ford which developed a bearing noise in the alternator -- the original 55 year old alternator. Replacement was only about $50.

It was a grueling job -- had to use a few wrenches and sockets...
Took less than an hour working at my usual snails pace.

Only clean spot under a dirty hood, I like driving this car, not so good at polishing it.
The fluids and filters are clean so good enough. Did a 60 mile test drive.


Look at this wire end, pretty nice for 55 years old, all of them were this clean.

 

Sooooo nice working on older vehicles; I rebuilt the head on our Rambler a few years back. From the time I lifted the hood, until the time I put the head on my work bench to start stripping it down? <30 minutes. IIRC, I used: One 3/8" ratchet, 1/2" & 11/16 sockets, 1/2" box-end wrench, common screw-driver, and a pair of needle-nose pliers.

 

So much agree. Did the job, check with the volt meter and shut the hood.
Didn't even have the reset the clock -- doesn't have one.

 

Just no telling what comes through your door is there? Can't say your work is ever routine.

 

My truck is a 4 cyl, and I've never wished that I had the v6. It's not going to win the quarter mile, but I've never had a problem passing slowpokes. I don't tow anything, so that's never been an issue. Only issues I've had is the steering rack has been replaced twice and the SAIS took a crap and had to be replaced.

So much concentration.

 

I have only moved or taken a short test drive with an empty truck any of the newer 2.7 engines so I can not compare them to my former favorite 2.4

 

Weather here sucks. I’d rather have snow. It’s 50 and rain, with 40-60 mph wind gusts.

 

Sorry to hear it. Down here we're currently in one of the two 2 week long spells of decent weather between muggy and cold and muggy and hot.

 

That’s what I like about working there, usually not the same thing

 

Had another theft boxes are in will see how this goes

 

If I was close I would buy from you All the Honey people I did business with have retired and none of the kids wanted anything to do with the Bee`s

 

Morning

 

Hate you had another theft and have to go to so much trouble to sell.

 

I’m figuring out the shipping now as state of Florida says I can sell and ship now. Have some going up state to montrose area will let ya know the shipping.

 

Sadly the world we are in, I’m sure it the same person. Gonna hide a camera but they will steal that also

 

Morning Shane and crew. Have a great Saturday!

 

Missed you fellas
