Our spring time weeds have grown quickly, so we wanted to cut them before they blossom. We replace the blades on the brush hog and end up breaking tools, also we find a damaged PTO drive shaft on Old Glory our 1949 Ford 8N tractor that will need to be replaced before we can run anything off of it.

Here we show and discuss some of our current and future projects which include our 1988 John Deere 310C 4x4, 2003 Ford Excursion 4x4 Powerstroke 6.0, 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 WJ, 1949 Ford 8n Tractor, and a 16ft lake boat. We list some of what we've done, what's wrong with them and some of the planned modifications and repairs, including turning the Jeep into an expedition vehicle and improving the Excursion.

Work continues on the F250 project. We get quite a bit further after waiting for parts to show up. Turbo gets installed, heater hose gets replaced, glow plugs and harnesses get installed. Fan & shroud assy gets installed along with the alternator, coolant reservoir tank, and air intake assy. Just about done with everything under the hood and now working on remote oil cooler and air-oil oil cooler.

In this project I tear down my 2007 Ford F250 4x4 super duty powerstroke 6.0 diesel that I originally picked up for parts and see if it's worth fixing. If it's worth fixing, I plan to do the following to it: - Custom DIY remote oil cooler setup with thermostat & fan - Remote oil filter setup with built in bypass filter - ARP studs with Ford factory head gaskets. - New turbo - EGR cooler replacement - HPOP STC fitting update - Stand pipes & dummy plug update And much more...

Part 2 of the F250 project and more parts are showing up. I make the bracket for the remote filter mount, install ARP studs, head gaskets and get the cylinder heads back on. Install injector seal kits, HPOP, HPOP STC fitting update, upgraded dummy plugs & standpipes, Bulletproof EGR cooler and oil cooler adaptor plate, blue spring upgrade and the intake.
