Got the older lawn boy weed trimmer assembled, should just need a carb rebuild and minor things. I paid $100 for a tiller behind the jd 312 today and also all the manuals for it. I also seen a truck towing a space shuttle today, posting pic in random pics thread.

This has to be one of my craziest acquisitions yet. Traded a running Honda gcv160 motor for this Suzuki quad that has a Kawasaki 650 motorcycle motor in it with 4 inline carbs. I don't even know where to begin, don't see the starter. There is no kick start I see. I guess put a good battery in a jam a screwdriver in the ignition since there is no key and see what happens. 2 owners ago said it ran. The guy I got it from get a good deal on it and gave up due to other projects, and he was legless and in a trailer park. Everyone says I'm gonna kill myself on this thing, lol. ATVs and motorcycles are pretty new to me so hopefully I can get this going

Got this running push mower and some new white fencing for free today. Push mower goes on marketplace and fencing goes to my ma or grandma. I got an ice auger that runs for the most part for $10 to resell. My neighbor hired me to help him reorganize his shop, he gave me some oil filters, Pontiac Sunfire parts to sell, a boat control cable setup to sell, and some other stuff like hubcaps.

Installed a back rack and new u joints on the Silverado. U joints were a pain in the ass. I traded a running push mower that I got for free plus $40 for the used back rack from marketplace, guy delivered it from an hour away. My dad's Colorado is down for a while, not really worth fixing. Inner bearing was bad and it got so bad that now everything is f*** in the left front. So we got the 340k mile obs out of hibernation as a new daily.

Why did he let it get so bad?

 

[LAWN BOY]

Why did he let it get so bad?

He works all the time and since it's already a junky truck we don't care much about it. He did have it 90 percent apart and bought the bearing 2 weeks ago, but we couldn't get the cv axle out. He were gonna try again soon after doing some research and talking to a guy. The truck was already at the end of its life considering the design flaws of the frame and all the salt up here have holes and cracks in the frame and it has a mere 200k miles. We have other trucks he can drive.

To me, GM truck/SUV quality declined after the year 2000. I once had a ‘94 full size blazer that I sold with 344,000 miles on it some 10 years ago. What was remarkable, the drive train including ball joints and tie rod ends were all original. About the best vehicle I have ever owned. That OBS is a keeper!

Did you ever hook up with that gal that you thought was maybe a little bit desirable? Or are you letting the feel slip through you fingers?

I don't recall which one you are specifically talking about, but I've let them all slip away.

Made it to Merrill a couple hours ago. Picked up this locked up sled for free. Lady just got divorced, might work out a deal with her where I clean up her yard and take garbage to the landfill in return for some motorcycles.
