It was a little heavier than I thought it would be, but we made 'er.
And it was a little awkward with that hoe hanging off one side, had to watch the mailboxes

Built Tough. Maybe Ford should take the new Amry Motto "Army Strong" and take make "Ford Strong" hmmm just doesn't have the same ring. But 3 engines....hahah looks like you work them hard. Wish I have been following to see why you have needed 3 engines

The short story is engine #1 lost a crankshaft lobe, was bad when I bought it.

#2 engine lost a cylinder, I suspect to a bad injector, melted a piston.

#3 is in there right now...
