Bad Head Gasket? NAH! Rusted-out frost plug!

[uglytruk]

I bought this junker/clunker '84 3/4 ton from a sawyer for $200. He had just bought it a monthe earlier for $700 with a new clutch. He plowed once, and it started spewing anti-freeze from "the head gasket" under the alternator. All it was was an easy-to-get-to frost plug. Pullled the alt, and put in a rubber one for $2.49, as I mangled the .66 steel one.
Now it still needs three tires fixed, and a bunch of small things, but "timing is everything"! The sawyer was happy to see it go...

WTF is a sawyer?

Sawyer? Cuts wood. Give him a log, he gives you a 2x4... Can u tell I live in the boonies?
It's big industry out here... But it's the way to cut wood, 'cept ya have to take a drive to get it, but they'll cut it to any size... and cheaper than Home Depot or Lowe's, and warps much less, but dusty. LOL...
I took several shots when I pu'd the teeruk, but ya can't see his operation, shame...

Can ya tell I'm an urbanite?

Man, I miss being a hillbilly... I live to tree-fell and chop wood when I'm camping... It's my thing to do on vacation, well, other than the lazy fishing..

I grew up in the 'burbs, but spoiled. Wouldn't know which end of an axe to use... until I left home. Far different life now...
Bought this ex-farm couple years ago. 100 acres, 1170 state owned ACRES at the back. Wanna go camping? 20 miles from the city... Going to plow snow there soon... see it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_Oo7SpegTE
