Yesterday some guys came with an f150 and a u haul trailer from 3 hours north of me to do a marketplace trade that we've been talking about for a couple weeks, they were actually in a different time zone so showed up an hour early. They came for my 1996 f250 7.3 which was not too happy to start after sitting 3 weeks in Wisconsin but when she finally started she ran good and we took over an hour to winch it on the trailer with little come alongs. I kept the new batteries which I have available to sell or trade. I also kept the part of the hoodstack that bolts onto the hood which is pretty awesome, I always love to have any form of exhaust piping, tips, and stacks on hand for my projects. And then hood stacks are actually valuable from what I see online. The trade was very fair considering what I wanted for the truck to get my money back. The items I received were as follows:
-6 month old coleman b200 mini bike, looks new other than a couple scratches and one tiny chip in front fender, fully functional other than the rear plastic seat mounts being busted, costed $900 new
-snap on Bluetooth job site radio that works great
-onn Bluetooth party box on wheels that works great
-craftsman toolbox with power strip full of tools
-aftermarket pioneer automotive radio with extra wiring, valued at like $300 I think
Everything is being resold, except I'm keeping the big party box which I put in the back seat of my truck, thing has decent bass and volume, better than the stock radio in my gmt800 and now I can listen to whatever songs I want. Not really in a rush to sell the mini bike, it'll be fun until it sells granted it just likes to spin the tires on the snow lol. I think I have a straight pipe that will fit it. I should honestly probably keep the big toolbox, guess I just won't let it go cheap. Hoping to sell the 2 radios asap.
Today was another adventurous day. Neither of my dad's snowblowers would drive this morning after we got a foot of snow, a nice big modern ariens and an old clapped MTD. And my decent cub cadet still didn't have the nos carb installed cuz I procrastinated. Had ma and sis help load up the cub in the bed of my truck so I could work on it in the shop and work after work, made it out too our back road which was unplowed and got stuck in the snow bank that was right before the highway, truck was stuck almost 5 hours, spent a total of an hour maybe shoveling and gassing and whatnot. Finally my bosses son brought the work truck after he plowed out the equestrian center and pulled me out, tested the new tow strap I got from Christmas. Snow was up to the top of my tires on the one side since the ice slid me into the main bank inches from a road sign, my hankook dynapro tires are hard and don't do well in snow. In the meantime I did some shoveling and rode my skidoo mx and coleman b200 a bit, the mx got stuck at the bottom of a huge hill on our unplowed road when I tried turning around, spent 10 mins getting it unstuck and just had to go full throttle all the way back up the hill. Anyways I finally got to work and all I did there for a few hours was plow with the Duramax, wondering when the ole 10 speed Allison is gonna give up. Got the new carb on my cub snowblower afterwards which is nos OEM, I need to find out what the adjustment screw settings are tho because I couldn't get it quite right, it runs smooth but a bit low under load and when not under load it over revs and makes little backfires. It also don't like restarting and is hard starting.
