Searsman

It’s June in 2022 and I began the overhaul of this beast , had to remove front end loader of course. Got the engine repair done over a year ago but didn’t reinstall loaded. Wanted to test engine for awhile.. anyway, decided engine ok so began reinstalling loaded this week after work, of course after 2 years it didn’t work. :(.. Had to call fo help on this one… the guy shows up Friday midday and didn’t finish till yesterday!. Drank all my cold beverages too!. I wanted to mow grass but he Insisted I stand and watch , geez.. these Sears repairmen are bossy.. He finally figured out the problem and got the loader back on, then, he even mowed my grass , yea… but I sure was tired even tho he did all the work. Bad thing was , no cold ones left for me :(… Cheers 🍻 Happy fix it day..

Amazing!. Great to watch them come out of hibernation!!!!

Looks great Arron, !. Going to copy yours on one thing :)…

After mowing grass most of the afternoon yesterday, today, Sunday , a beautiful day to assess the 71 and do a little spring dusting ,, tire pressure check ect..probably a road test too.. getting the fever .!! 🚗

And you thought I was kidding about the bush hog huh!? Well, actually I was :). That is hay field grass and the field mower is to cut down stink weed, which I despise..

Trying to get tiger 🐅 woods to pay a visit huh? 🤔 😂

I know where you coming from Rob, thought it was to clear up starting this evening, here. And then we get a tornado Warning ⚠️ while trying to eat.. ended up tornatic two counties from us and came right thru here but no tornado 🌪️.. shew . Spared again . 🙏… but we did get lots of lightning ⚡️ Rain of course, and Pea size hail.. Monte in garage.

☔️ days and days. Finally a little sunshine ☀️ this weekend. Getting the bush hog out!. Mower only good up to a foot tall. Geez.

I think 🤔 I’m hearing there will be zero factory correct monties there . ???

No way I I’m not frying my brain to remember all those cars - truck.s maybe someday I’ll sit down and write them . I will show you a picture of what my first car looked like back in the 50s … I was only 8 years old 😂🤣…

Well said Joe!!!. There’s a multitude of variables… my 71 has original style compressor but has been converted to R134 , And does well.. did not replace hoses so I have to keep tabs on Freon pressure about once a year.. much better than trying to find R 12 here tho…

Happy Easter ✝️ to all. Have a blessed day…

One of the best cars I ever owned, after driving a 68 falcon, 67 vw bug, and a 62 dodge dart, this car was like driving a dream car . Even tho I prefer the first generation now, I alway liked the 4 headlight system.. someone has an 77 and brought it to the 2022 Carlisle meet. Was in excellent condition.. 77 was my favorite second gen… Monte…

Thank you and have a nice day??? Geez.. was that written in Chinese?. !. Just sayin…

They’re already broke … and California:(…hopefully Ronnie from calif decides to stay here come June. :)…they would be most welcome…

Absolutely!. But this is a good problem

My bad, can’t count, see or type … two countries, 23 states , , impressive. Unless I counted wrong. 🤓

No individual interior door panels listed for 71 on legendary …

Hadn’t heard of legendary, I’ll look them up. Been researching front interior door panels . Thanks, Ron….

Wow!. What a list!. 3 countries represented.

Figured they would sell it, non SS 71. Just sold this week over 40 grand $$

Be safe CK. Enjoy!!!! Glad you are celebrating this heritage. My dna has some Irish ,☘️ mostly Scottish. But I celebrate along with you and the firefighters of nyc.. may the exhaust from your tail pipe be free of smoke ! 😂 . 🍀

Caps and trim are plastic. The monties have the lip necessary to hold the trim on without the need for glue. The monties also have an end cap slot and lip to slide the cap on. Kinda like the end cap should have been there but wasn’t..
