What Did You Buy Today?

[Christianstark]

Cheap harbor freight run netted me some picks, molding tools like used for clay, a tweezer set, some steel punches, and a bright orange dead blow. Also snagged a Starrett 98-6 off eBay.

So I took off work today and did a little road trip and this thing jumped up on the trailer and followed me home
It’s a VanNorman milling machine with universal head it came with a bunch of Arbor supports and I think four different arbors support for horizontal milling also has a DRO on all three axis and this thing was pretty heavy !!!! But my winch pulled it right up the ramps and on the trailer pretty easily
If anyone would know what this thing might weigh I would love to know cause there is not much info out there on the internet the model number is 3R-10 or that’s what the plate says

If it's that easy, I'll drive by your house and see if it jumps in my trailer.

I have a 2003 F-350 4 Door, 4x4, Dually with the 7.3 liter Power Stroke in it. Looked hard to find this one. I love my truck. As you say, they are not fast and having the duals, I have 4.11 rear end, so it won't win any races. But she will pull just about anything I put behind me.

I have a 2003 6.0 F350 but ordered it swb. 4 door and 4x4 of course. Don't know of any 03's with a 7.4. Mine still purrs along, still under 275k miles and essentially retired. .

Ya, they only provided the 7.3 for the first quarter of 2003. Then shifted to the 6.0 in the 2Q03.

When I was looking for a new to me truck, I decided I wanted that engine. Knew how good it was. I spend a little over a year finding one that had not been abused or modified. Like with our tools, I had to travel a bit to get this one, but it was well worth it. She had 140K on it when I bought it 6 years ago and no just broke 190K. Rides so comfortably that we take it on long trips over my wife's Yukon.

I had to change out the rubber gasket on mine, the auto parts stores have O ring assortments, and I changed to that.
