Building A New to Me Pete

You really grooving on that old iron ain't yuh? That definitely is a nice truck. I followed the original thread in it and looks like she's doing you a good job there Rank!
Twin Stick how's your lil project coming?

 

She doesn't miss a beat. I've had an entire summer without a CEL, or an ABS fault, or a failed EGR cooler, or a failed VVA sensor, or a new doser valve, or a regen.

But the lack of air under the cab is taking a toll on the herniated disks in my lower back.

 

Im in the middle of starting harvest myself, I haven't even drove a truck since last week just trying to get stuff done.

 

Yeah I hear that on no new age problems. I drove an 86 359 for a coupla months back in 97. Loved that old truck even though it would drown you when it rained. Sleeper leaked something awful. I have an 07 right now but who knows what I will do down the road.
Hope you get the yields you need there Twin Stick!

 

I've run a few acres threw the machine and I've seen 250 in a few places as long as the yields stay up I'll be ok.

 

That's great. I remember back when I was a kid 250 was ####### almost unheard of. People would come and take pictures. Rode by Bunge in Decatur, AL yesterday late afternoon and saw a long line of trucks. Made me miss pulling a hopper. Went back by about an hour later and the line was cleared up mostly. See a line like that pulling a reefer or a van and it'll have you feeling like you'd just as soon to jump off a cliff as to be cued up for the next 12-24 hours twiddling your thumbs lol.

 

Good luck with the corn Twin Stick. I hope you managed to price a good chunk of it before the crash.

 

I'm on contract so I'll be ok. 250 was the best I've seen the yield bumped up to 257 earlier for about a minute. I'm down now cause my feeder house isn't worrking right keeps plugging itself up cause it keeps shutting down. So Deeres bringing me another S670 to use for now.

 

Now you got me thinking... I was looking for a 6nz motored hood. Now I'm thinking b model would be sweet. I think I could actually work on one.

Wore out where do you call home I live by Springfield sale barn. I'd like to look at your truck and talk a bit.

 

I call sleepy little village called Elgin home. It's between Newport and Batesville Ar. I run to the Butterball mill at Green Forest and the sale barn both. I don't get to Springfield barn much but do the West Plains barn or used to. I'm about dedicated to a hopper any more. She is nothing special but I will sure let you look her over lol.
