Thats a LOTTA miles Jim! WOW!! My 97 F-350 has 122,000 and is junk! PLUS they said the original motor blew up at 60,000!-- so this motor has 62,000 and always something broke on it! My 96 F-350 has 80,000 on it. 5.8 gas and so far has been a lifesaver this winter hauling blocks and stuff from the auction in December. The 98 Explorer has around 165,000 on it 4.0 v-6. Been a good one too cept the stupid automatic transmissions in all of them are iffy!!

Got compost spread yesterday,--hauled in 2 more loads , got the cc to run so now gotta fix 1 front tire so it will hold air for more than an hour. Hope to get the JD 420 -c crawler loader running this year( gotta pull the motor out and put a new master clutch in it.) and Get the injection pump off the Case 1835 b skidder and have it fixed. Kinda miss that loader. a lot easier to get on and off of than the big New Holland 781.
