Buying back grandpaws truck
Credit scores and reporting agencies exist to encourage you to stay in debt. We've been debt-free for years, and it was one of the primary reasons I was able to retire at 57. I don't really care what my score is, honestly, but I am concerned with what's going on in the economy - and it looks...- stembridge

Buying back grandpaws truck
When we moved to the farm in 2001, I bought my Dad's 1969 F-100. Dad bought it from the original owner when it was a year old, and I and my brothers all learned to drive in it. I subsequently taught my boys to drive in it out on the hay field. After ten years hauling hay in wintertime in...- stembridge

Dreaded tailgate meets trailer jack
That's about how mine looked after pulling my gooseneck stock trailer over too-steep a transition coming out of a pasture - crimped the top edge of the tailgate and broke the plastic cap: I was able to remove the inside panel and push it back out (2015 2500, since sold). Had to buy a new...- stembridge

The Stembridge 2021 RAM Classic "Warhawk" Build Thread
Your folks may have generically called it a 9N, but Ford did not have any special variants for export, and the number in the model name refers to the first year of production (9N = 1939, 2N = 1942, etc.). The Golden Jubilee (introduced in late 1952) was a one-year model with special badging...- stembridge

The Stembridge 2021 RAM Classic "Warhawk" Build Thread
1953 would have been a Golden Jubilee, a complete redesign of the N Series tractors. The 9N was 1939-1941, 2N was 1942-1947, 8N was 1948-1952. I farmed 15 acres with mine, and baled many thousands of small square bales of alfalfa. Plowed, disced, plowed snow in the winter, etc. One of the...- stembridge

The Stembridge 2021 RAM Classic "Warhawk" Build Thread
First test of the TTC-1211 XHD rear coil springs I installed a couple weeks ago - they definitely don't squat as much as the stock springs did; the truck looks like it's been leveled more than anything. The pic below is with the stock springs. Not an apples-to-apples comparison, but with the...- stembridge

eBay rebel grill came with a skinny M
I ran into the 'wrong font' problem when I ordered my grille a year or so ago. Ended up buying the matte black door letters (68366991AB) and massaged them into the grille - they fit snug vertically. I glued them from the back side and they've held up well. es- stembridge
