    Don't know if that's a good idea. Get two of them together, and they both come up with different ideas. I've been through that a time or two, and ended up worse than it started.

    Looking at the tires he is going backwards, not letting the high RPM clean the lugs! lol

    Ground was froze for the past few months. Guessing they didn't want to get cold. Sloppy clay drive but at least had a bottom. For some reason thought the grass would be better. 8 wheel white tractor with a V8 cat struggled to get it out.

    I know a lot of guys on here are in the "dirt" business and might find this interesting. Dirt Wurx builds all the Monster Energy Supercross tracks and put out these videos of the builds and teardown. I enjoy Supercross and have mad respect for guys that can sculpt dirt into a finished product.

    My chiropractor calls me.

    Come help - must be fuel pump, truck won’t start.

    It’s been stuck half way in his gate for a week, where it got towed to after ‘starving for fuel’.

    I bring a filter, wrench, 2 gallons of diesel. 30 mile drive.

    “It’s only got one filter! “

    Unusual say I. What’s that dirty thing there? Another filter. Change filter. Remove and fill the primary filter.

    Spend half an hour arguing fuel lines and crossovers, splitter valves and check valves. Tracing lines. He’s convinced the fuel pump is bad.

    I open the passenger tank. Almost empty. That might be the problem. Ferry 10 gallons into that tank. Fire it up with ether. Follow him to the fuel station after towing him out of the mud.

    Now I’m a certified diesel mechanic in his eyes.

    Swear I’m moving up the pews, willing or not.

    I hope that he's a better back cracker than mechanic.

    He’s bloody awesome as a Dr Crackenback.

    Also a farm boy, and learning real fast and hard on the trucking. @zmster2033 and I are on speed dial.
