June 25, 2015 - Backhoe Day

Today I became the owner of a new ride, My Rat Rod Backhoe… She’s old and worn and not too pretty but still has a lot of life in her… Yesterday I worked out a deal with the owner and this afternoon he delivered it right to my home. I running out excuses for not working on the 37 acres… guess I have to get busy. 

She is an old diesel powered Ford, not sure what year as the previous owner didn’t know but guessed it was from the late 60s or early 70s… I really don’t care as long as it works, and it was in my price range. The engine was replaced about 3 years ago and a few of the hoses look as if they had been replaced. 

Life Is Good!!!
