Absolutely. Strong machine. Thanks for the comment.

This was converted shortly after my grandfather bought it. My Dad, uncle and myself drove back in the blizzard of 1978 after having the hoist installed. What a trip.

Nice!! You are my idol dude. I can only afford 1 of them, not 4. LOL. And they kick up some grass. Awesome machines.

I know right! Send me anything from your memories. Pictures, quotes, anything,

My privilege.

Thanks Will. Looks like our Grandpas had similar taste for that special trim package combo 😁.

Thanks for the comment Peter. I thought about the carpet dye, seemed like more work and the days are getting shorter here. I will try your trick on the arm rest clean up. I didn’t know about the 88 door striker plastic fitment would work, so maybe easier to find parts. Thanks for all of the information. Cheers!

Thanks, but I did put a used/newer tailgate on it 😂. It bothered me😭 Watch my latest video. 2 episodes on it. Thanks.

Thanks Peter. Cheers back to you!

That is awesome. Send me a TH-cam link to these beautiful trucks.

@@cshell3654 look up my name an you should find them

Awesome. Sounds like we both love these old mowers and will do whatever it takes to keep them going. Glad to have someone thinking along the same lines as far as reducing a lot of extra work. I would like to see how replacing your final drive went? I’m sure it make a great TH-cam video to help others. That’s my goal to help people like us. Thanks for your comments, it means alot. Keep on mowing 👍

Thanks brandon. I like all old trucks . Built tough.

Sorry for the late reply. I will try to find the information. Not sure if you can see the label on the box in the video? Let me know if I can help you. Thanks.

@@cshell3654 thank you, I would surely appreciate it if you could get back to me with the part name and number for that alternator.

Same one I installed in the video. I looked up my Amazon history and found it. Good luck.

@@cshell3654 thank you so very very much. I want to be prepared when mine goes out on my 721D. Last week my right side drive belt broke. Would you happen to know which belts to get for those? Again thanks for the Info.

Hey James, sorry for the late reply. Our local farm dealer carries grasshopper parts. Part number 15881-97010. Cost $8.10. Good luck.

The Kubota 3 cylinder in my 725G uses part # KU1928 as the alternator belt part number.

Lol. I know right. Many years ago, the truck backed into a tree with the tailgate down. I have a decent replacement tailgate to put on it this summer. I will be doing video on that replacement. Stay tuned.

That sounds like a great project. Love the old Fords as you can tell. Keep me in the loop on your truck.

Subbed back at you.

Robert, I’m not sure, but the mower is 21 years old. I figured it was time for a new one at this point.

Thanks brother. Me too!

Absolutely 👍

Thanks Ron, maybe some day we can get these trucks together. Good truckin on your 79 f-150. My first truck was a 1979 f-150 4x4, with the 351C. Wish I had that truck back. It was a kickin truck.

Richard, I hear ya:)

Thanks for the information Peter. I’ll check that out when that time comes 😄

Thanks for the comment.

Thank you for the comment. Great memories for both of us.

Thanks Ol" Moe, I was hoping my chances of it being a master power going bad was incorrect. But with my luck, I was dead on. Thanks for the advice. I will take your wisdom when changing the pads, if not the rotors also:) Thanks again my friend.

Richard, I hear ya. Just need to make sure that everything is mechanically safe before taking this beast on the road. Being that this truck was my grandpa's and he ordered a special trim package, which I didn't know, makes this more exciting, Thank you for the comment.

Thanks for your appreciation of these old Ford Trucks. I appreciate the comment.

Special trim package ordered by my grandpa who was raised during the depression. Born in 1900 he was. To hear that this was a special trim package surprised me. I will work hard to get to get this truck in great shape again someday.

Ben, I say you had 2 of the iconic trucks of their time. I love your taste in trucks. I understand exactly what you are saying. I had a 1979 F-150 Lariat 4x4 with posi traction all the way around. It also had the 351C. As a teenager, I had a 4 inch body lift with 35's. I could churp those tires for sure. I waxed that truck every month. I know what you mean about still having them. I wish I still had it. I am appreciative for getting my grandpas old truck for sure. I have alot of memories in that truck. I appreciate the comment,

I totally get what you are saying. I also had a 1979 F-150 Lariat 4x4 with the 351 Cleveland and posi-traction all the way round with a 4 inch body lift and 35 inch tires. I kept that truck mint. It would even squeal the tires as an automatic 😁 Wish I had that one back for sure. I get what you’re saying. It sounds like you had some nice old Fords. Thanks for the comment.

Hey Paul, thanks for the advice. I have heard that using Mystery oil is the best to use. I just used WD-40 to make sure it wasn't locked up and there was some type of lubricant on the seals when I turned the fan blade manually, before I started it. Just didn't want it to tear any seals at that point. After it started, it blew out the WD-40 with white smoke until the engine oil kicked in. No busting balls taken:) Good advice my man. Thanks. Your neighbors truck sounds awesome. I had a friend that had a 1979 F-150 with those same bright orange and white stripes and it was a gem. Sounds like a cool truck. Good ole days. Alot of people didn't think that I would get that old truck running again. I have news for them. I will make that truck sound again and it will be on the road again soon. My grandpa was a good man. Thanks for the comment.

Bruce, thanks. I appreciate the comment. The hydraulic bed is awesome. Hoping to have it cleaned up in the next month or so. Will be doing a driving video soon. Hopefully. Take care!

Muchas gracias. Agradezco su comentario.

Hi Daniel, All the fluids checked out good before the start. I do normal vehicle maintenance on my whole family's vehicles, so I took the extra steps on this vehicle. If you could tell me what sounds dry means, I could learn more? Thanks.

Thanks Big Daddy. I appreciate the compliment. It's going to take some work, but we will get there. Thanks again!

Thanks Richard, Yeah, have some work to do on the filler tube layout for sure. It has always been that way, so time to improve. I did a lot of running things through my head and talking with friends on the engine prep, so I guess I was lucky to have caught the first start on video. Thanks again.

Thanks Chris. I agree with you on your comment. Much easier to work on also:)
