Anything mechanical is going to break down. White Horse has been given me fits for a while now. Something sporadically keeps telling it to run rich and makes one side of engine misfire. I've changed O2 sensors, fixed exhaust leaks, reset codes, and then some. All with no luck. She'll run good and then she won't. So, I decided to leave her back home and let a real mechanic take a look at the problem.
Needing a ranch rig to take her place, I turned to Ranch Truck. She has scarcely been off the ranch in the last five years that we have re-owned her. Knowing she was ready to run, though, I took time to outfit her before I hit the trail.
Spare tire is a good idea, considering the rubber that is on her.
Got to have a tool box of sorts. We just zipped down our old welding box.
Should work.
The inside just deed a good farmer dung-out.
Then set her up with the essentials: halters, wool hoodie, and two lariats.
Let's ranch.
I bought this truck in 2004 and got her all set up for work. After heading to the seminary in 2008, I gave her to the Carmelite Monastery to run around Carter Mountain with. In the winter of 2021, after having been decommissioned by the Monks, we went back and got her to use the flatbed. Deciding not to go that route, we got her running and put her back to work, instead. Despite a few repairs here and there, Ranch Truck has been handy to have around. Hopefully, she'll serve all our Catholic Cowboy needs in Johnson County until White Horse is back on her feet. We'll find out!
