Bought my truck

[Aaron]

Guess I join the ranks of the many others on this site with the 7.3 Turbo. Purchased a 1995 Ford F-250 XLT Powerstroke 7.3L Turbodiesel, extended cab, long box, with 5-speed manual today in International Falls, MN. $8500 USD. 213,000 miles. Met the previous owner just as was pulling out for a test drive. Very nice older Finnish man. This was his 3rd diesel, at which point he switched to a new gas job a couple weeks ago and told us (my father and I) what a huge mistake he made. Drove and shifted perfectly in the test drive. Bring it home tomorrow afternoon, will put up pictures then.

Congratulations, on the new truck.

Do you ever watch Hockey Night in Canada? I used to love that show, is it still on TV?

 

[Stocker Steve]

Sounds like you got the right options on that truck. How many miles do you expect to get out of it?

 

[Aaron]

Used to watch HNC a fair bit as a kid, but don't watch really any sports anymore...too busy and see it as a waste of valuable time. It is still on in Canada. As long as the body holds together, I will keep running the truck. Even a new motor in that truck is cheaper than something brand new.

Aaron, your going to have to update your signature line now that you've become a FORD man! :lol:

Aaron!

You traitorous doggggg!!!

Hey, enjoy the new beast.

By the way I am still looking for a bull - you want to get rid of your recent purchase we chatted about give me a shout.

Thanks for reminding me Sid, I thought of it earlier and then forgot.

Bez...Bez...Bez...the 'recent purchase' is coming along nicely. I think I'll run him with about 20 cows and 5 heifers in about 2 and half weeks from now.

I do have two dandy little polled fella's that will be ready next year, but the horned sons will be a while yet

I'll be needing a new polled herdsire next year, to keep up my supply of polled bulls (Besides yourself and a couple neighbours, there aren't too many in Ontario that would let a horned bull on the place). I think I might try a Walnut Drive bull from Stayner, ON. If that happens, I will try to drop by next spring.
