It seems like the E550 is the cutaway version of the F550 super-duty and was the only van to get this facia, I was just happy to have a 7.3l under the hood and not the V10.....50% of the V10 cutaways I found needed heads or some other sort of engine work to be drivable.View attachment 354227
I drove the truck 200 miles this afternoon, I still can't get over how, not destroyed the interior is.....dirty (yes, very) but when was the last time you saw a used cargo van seat without foam falling out of it?

I was gonna say, someone didn't take any care, of the seat!

Where's those Trail Cameras?

Checked the cameras. No strange creature. Only odd thing is the neighbors dog that is normally in a pen was out on Wednesday night and went down the driveway. My current theory is that he has a chain or leash or something that is dragging the ground as he walks around and it leaves the lines. But I don't see or hear anything on the camera, and haven't had a chance to talk to the neighbor and get more info.

It's the European hornets, they know your planning to kill them so they're baiting you into a trap.

They are smart….

I was weeding the garden this morning and I heard one approaching. He got right in front of my face hovering and staring me down. Then he zipped off to go kill something. I think he was asserting dominance.
 
I hate yellow jackets. Green dude was still alive as the yellow jacket was eating its innards.

Got it in. It’s a 100% duty cycle, 5hp, 60G with a 9000hrs life rating.

Probably won’t have to buy another one 🤠

ProTip* pull out the drain and replace with an elbow and QC. Then a short hose and blow gun makes it easy and quick to drain condensation daily.

IR used to make this bad ass little kit that had a nipple a 45 and a ball valve that screwed into the bottom drain and extended just beyond the tank. You can knock it open with a boot and back close and never bend down

I probably should rig up something like this. I'm not the best at keeping up with draining the tank. I knew it was time when I had water spraying out of my air ratchet the other day.

I remember that kit. I also tried an “automatic“ drain kit but it sucks.

I have used this method for several years. I just grab the blower, point it toward the door and blow out the water. No mess on the floor and takes seconds. With the quick connect down there it’s easy to swap the hose if it rots or you need to move the unit or something.

It's a portal to a great abyss where cool stuff goes to lie in wait!
 
Got the hydraulic winch buttoned up and working on the chipper today. It's a Milemarker 10k 2 speed hydraulic off a Hummer. Looks to be about 100ft/min in high gear just off of idle, and even faster at full rpm.

That's an 18"x18" infeed opening.

Took a crappy video of it while also running the feed bar.


The boss approves.

Those old commercials with the guy running the tiller with one hand made me laugh. Must not have been in any dirt I’ve ever dug around in, certainly not up here.

I would love to have my dump trailer full of those chips.

@jeepinmatt you're one pretty cool dude.
I kinda want to be you for a weekend and see how much destruction and subsequent cleanup I can do.

You're welcome to come work on old worn out equipment any time. I swear it's the story of my life. Fix something long enough to take a picture for NC4x4 and then see what breaks next :D

So the wife had surgery on her foot and leg 3 weeks ago. I’ve cooked more in those 3 weeks than I have in the last 2 years. Basically I can cook burgers, chicken, and steak on a charcoal grill. But I knew she would get tired of that, so I’ve broadened my abilities.
I bought a small Blackstone. I’ve done several things on it now, but this was awesome. Found it on YouTube, so tried it and liked it. Gluten free ravioli from Earthfare (I’m the one that can’t have gluten), chicken, tomatoes, jar of roasted red peppers, Olive Garden Italian dressing, throw it all on the Blackstone.

Last night I wanted something with our burgers besides fries. So I found a recipe for homemade gluten free onion rings. It rocked! Even the kids thought they were great! And it’s always good to throw some peaches on the charcoal grill while it’s still hot. The down side to the onion rings is my proficiency in the kitchen. There was stuff all over the counters by the time I was finished cooking.
