I think I posted pictures of a hood I bought for the Toyota truck. The one I have now is in reasonable condition, but the reason for the replacement is so that I can hand paint a mural on it, in my shop, instead of on the truck. In the pictures below, you can see how helpful the 4 inch angle grinder with wire wheel is.
My second to the oldest son Sean went to buy a used Diesel motor and transmission. The man said that he could see it run. When asked how much extra he wanted for the whole truck, the seller said $200 more. So my son bought the whole thing, Now he has his own semi. It needs work, but his equipment does more than my economy stuff. For instance, his old crane truck; he used it to remove a pen plotter from the attic for me, and to take down a tree in the front yard.
Here’s a relevant Bible verse: Proverbs 14:4 says “Where no oxen are, the crib is clean, but much increase is by the strength of the ox.” That was the power equipment of that day. For us, every piece of equipment needs maintenance, and even restoration, but we can do so much work with the right equipment. The Bible has some really interesting things to say, give it a read today.
Some of the other kids helped me detail the crane truck up to the bed. we were in a hurry, and that’s all the further we could get. I’m getting pretty fast at the wheel painting routine these days.
