Registration and full coverage for my 2006 Ford F450 with a 5 ton lift dump bed and a 2014 Big Tex 14000 GVWR flatbed trailer, and a 1968 CASE 580 backhoe.
I stole the backhoe for just $2000.00. It has all new hydraulic hoses as well as documentation of $5000 worth of maintenance records from the period between 2014 and 2019. He passed in 2019 and his widow didn't know what to do with it.
It wouldn't start but it cranked great with the battery charged. Now usually these are diesel. But this one is actually a 4 cylinder gas engine. So since it cranked over it seemed mechanically sound and it turned out I was correct on that.
I knew it had to be something simple with either fuel or electric. I located a rebuild kit for the carb and rebuilt the carb but it still wouldn't start. I was getting sparked from the coil I was getting sparked in the distributor. But I wasn't getting sparked to the plugs.
So I bought new plug wires and still no spark to the plugs. Then I stop getting sparked to the distributor cap. So I bought a new distributor cap and they gave me the wrong one.
Then I tried the old distributor cap again just for shits and giggles and all of a sudden I had spark to the plugs.
At this point it started but it wouldn't stay running. It wasn't getting proper fuel. Long story short I rebuilt the carburetor 2 more times with gasket material. I was still getting leaking an error leaking an air sucking in to the carburetor around the seals.
I was just about to order a whole new carburetor. In the last ditch effort I started searching for videos on that particular carburetor. Here it turns out there was a manufacturer's defect in the material the carburetor itself was made from.
It was just a short 5 minute video the guy explained that the bowl section of the carb would warp over time. He also explained that there was no point in buying a new one because they never corrected the problem and the new replacements were still made from the same flawed material.
All I had to do was place sandpaper on a flat surface. Then rub the bowl on the sandpaper to flatten/unwarp where it seals to the upper section. After that it starts 1st time every time.
Due to sitting out the hot Arizona sun for 3 years on used the tires are iffy. So it's gonna rub me about another $1200 for new rubber. But when it's all said and done I'll have about a $10000 back code for about $5000.
I've got a partner and we are starting a small surface management company. Clearing land, building dirt roads, laying down gravel in people's driveways with the box blade and dump truck,and stuff like that.
My partner's 1st name starts with B and as you all know my and starts with D. So we are going to call the company BD Surface Management.

Just a heads up Speedy Parker, my old instructor said the best way to find a flat surface for sanding is a piece of glass.

I used a slab of marble from an old cutting board. But glass is a good idea also.
