I had to change a freeze plug in a 67 ford van, which was in a basic mud pit, and 30 degrees. And the plug was behind the fly wheel, in Houston around 1975. I was 23. I will NEVER forget that repair. Oh and it was snowing, in Houston, if you can believe it. Did it by myself, while my so called friends stayed inside getting drunk. When your 23 you can do anything.

I'm digging your "Fortress of Solitude" Mr.O !

Steveo Daily says:

If a starter is struggling can the alternator have to supply large currents?
Would you use a customer's starter to loosen a crank pulley bolt?

roy gunter says:

You don't need no stinking electric starter on that "H" Farmall, I started an "M" with a crank when I was 15. You should take that crank and walk around front and show us how a real man starts a farm tractor.

Khai Bui says:

Nice man! Your little hide away from the shop & the misus!

Nitrodr1 says:

Even under primitive conditions you succeed! This reminded me of when Ivan went to see Relatives, and worked on that Soviet car.

wade hicks says:

Likin that wood heater best kind of heat there are.

Michael Bouley says:

As long as it sounds like a Chrysler starter it is good.

Peter Montagnon says:

Love those old 4ls damn near bullet proof!! I've got to get me an ole grand again. I think putting in a starter in a Peterbilt  is a little easier. LOL

Justin Underwood says:

Any one else see the panda face on the inside of the wood stove?
