More Updates Later Sunday

2022-08-20-camper-sold

Our final view of the motorhome. We sold it on Saturday. We weren’t using it and it would only be declining in value, so we felt it was prudent to let it go. We will eventually buy something else, but unsure whether that will be a slide-in camper (which requires a new, beefier truck, which we need anyway), another motorhome (likely not), or a fifth wheel (maybe).

More updates later today …. It’s been a busy few days. We sold our motorhome to the folks that own the water system company that installed our filtering system (we hadn’t used it to camp in two years). So, as a part of the deal, we are getting a new water system for our house, a new drinking system for the kitchen, and a water filter system for the bunkhouse.

We have rented a bull for our heifers, but there isn’t a whole lot of action (a regular Ferdinand perhaps?), other than chewing down our grass, which has meant getting some hay to supplement their diets. Thankfully, our next-door neighbor just swathed his grass hay yesterday, so we’ll be buying up all his hay.

We are shopping for a squeeze chute and panels so we can build a corral.That way, we can just artificially inseminate them rather than host a bull, which is more expensive than insemination, something another neighbor of ours can do.

The side deck on the bunkhouse is near done, another stretch of triple digits looks behind us now.

1945 VEC CJ-2A Georgetown, DE **SOLD*

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $25,000.

This looks nice, though neither the windshield nor the body have been restored to original. The transmission shifter is on the floor, rather than the column.

“Willys Forward Control (FC) 170 4×4 flatbed. Flathead “Super Hurricane” 226 straight 6, T90 manual 3 speed transmission, Spicer 18 transfer case. Bed has 3′ extension pictured on bed. Truck is a great find and foundation for a project. Truck sat for many years and needs restored but does currently run. Does not drive and must be hauled. Stored indoors. Done extra parts included. Clean WA title in my name. These trucks are hard to find anymore in this condition. Odometer reflects 26,XXX miles, probably farm miles. Truck appears to be originally from Oregon and was purchased by previous owner at an estate sale out of Eugene with another FC. Regret selling but too many projects not enough time.”
