How'd it go today?

Found this last week. Was test driving the 7.3 to check on something I was working on and saw this in the neighbors yardfor 600.00.. 180000 on it. Katy needed something that gets better mileage than the Yukon. So we'll be selling that after I button that up. Runs great.. not much bad with it. Coupleofplug wires, an ac switch, freon, battery, brakes, cleaning, oil change. 5 speed. 2 liter.
2002 Protoge5. Kid was given the car, did not like manuel trans and let it set. 20250620_201859.jpg
 
I hate those things, worse than wasps or bald face hornets

I got stung/bit by probably close to 100 sweat bees the other day, didn't bother me, I've been lit up by yellow jackets a lot, they suck but doable, atleast they don't eat my house and I can knock the nests down with a pruner pole, we do get a fair bit of the red velvet ants which are supposedly one of the most painful stings on the planet, never tried it and not planning to either
 
Worked on the tractor again. Temperature sender or caught fire. There is no electricity going through it. Unhooked the 12v going into the cluster, no smoke. Starts with the button now. Does not charge. One day/disaster at a time with this poor old thing.

Water pump on a DT466. They make everything exactly 1/16" too small to be a decent job. IH dealer wouldn't sell is the pump they had in stock. It was $380,for something like that. They ordered an aftermarket one for us that was about $200. Thank you!
