Griz Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Poor ole thing... I had to get a gun and put it down the other day...:bummed: It had seen it's last days and got to the point that it was on it's last leg... We have seen alot of country together and traveled a many of roads around here... Oh...I forgot to mention that it was our 96 Ford 1 Ton... Yep...It is a sad, sad day for sure... Here I was just driven along humming the tune (Don't Mess With My Toot Toot) when all of a sudden it just quit going... After a few choice words I threw at it,:taped: while I'm climbing out of the truck... I thought maybe the drive shaft fell off or something...CL--OSE!!! Try the whole dadgum transmission...LOL...:yes: That's right...The whole tranny and transfer case hit the ground... I have always seen things like this happen on TV but never in real life... But this was for real... I nearly busted a gut when I seen it and starting Hummin' the Tune(Another Bites The Dust)... So I got my 9mm out and put it down...:2guns: Perfect broadside shot...Right trow the door panel... But...On a good note... I am now driving a 09 Chevy extended cab 1 ton with the Duramax Diesel engine... This thing is awesome...:yes: It has alot of power for hauling 20 1000lb. round bales off the field... But as a memory of the 96 Ford...Were going to make a bridge out it... We have a drainage ditch here that needs a crossing...:clap: Oh...Am I going to miss the Ford... Being this is a family site...Let me just say... No...LOL... Now I have a Tractor giving fits...But for $95.000 for a new one I think I'll get this one fixed...:jaw: Just wanted to stop in and say Howdy... Been pretty busy here on the Ranch and to say that I haven't forgot about yall here in the forums... Well I gotta go... Duty Calls and I have another 3000 bales to get off the field before I'm caught up with the baler... Have a good one Folks... Griz...

Rhino Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Don't you just hate it when you have to put an old friend down like that!!:clown:. I recall from my old duck hunting days a guy doing that to a motorized pirogue, except he used a 12 ga. pump. LMBO Oh...Am I going to miss the Ford... Being this is a family site...Let me just say... No...LOL... I felt that way about OJ too. (my old camp truck - 1993 Ford Bronco) Weird how Fords make ya feel that way eh? Enjoy the new Chevy Dale...I'm still enjoying both of mine.

TBow Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Dear FORD, Adios and via con dios, You'll no longer pull hay, And if not for my Chevy, That hauls hay so heavy, I'd give up farmin' today! Note: You got'ta sing it to the tune of the Zac Brown Band's song "TOES". TBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
