New starter installed finally. It's amazing the difference, had forgotten what a new one sounds like. Guess I got used to the worn out one. New one spins so fast makes me dizzy.

So what did you do with your truck today?

When it appeared my fan was flinging something was the time I found out how far gone my radiator was. Couldn't actually see the bad area of the radiator until I pulled it, also could not see any other place the AF was getting out.
Neighbor pollarded all his mulberries this fall. Then he decided three of them are lifting the concrete. We didn't want to risk cracking the sidewalk with this one so persuaded it with my winch to destroy their lawn instead. Chainsaw and winch in the same day? I'm game. New winch contactor checks out.

Yeah but it's a relatively newish looking aluminum radiator. Quick visual inspection it looks fine but I won't know until later. Most likely just going to fill it with water and run it home, depending on if I can find the leak or not. Can't afford to replace the radiator but might be able to get it patched if it's a pinhole or something. I've got a spare in the parts truck but I'm not sure how good it is either.

3 Wheelers... talk about a blast from the past. Had a 90cc Honda when I was a kid. Don't see them much anymore. Was told you can't legally sell them now, even private party because the are too 'dangerous'. Supposedly can only tear them down and sell parts.
I may have been known to go up sand dunes that were so steep I had to sit on the handel bars while pressing the thumb throttle all the way down to make it to the top without flipping backwards... Wait.. no kids that's dangerous don't do that... I would never do that [emoji16].

That information was never true. What happened was that when they were called "too dangerous", the CPSC (consumer product safety commission-I believe) made it so that a dealership could lose it's license if it sold a new three wheeler. While it didn't actually make it illegal to sell them, it did almost the same thing. The "Consent Decree", as it was called, was only in effect for 10 years so it expired in the late 90's (1998?). By the time that the Consent Decree expired, three wheelers were considered to be "junk" so most people didn't want them. There was never anything that said that they couldn't be sold privately or used by a dealership. In fact, I remember seeing a couple that were for sale (used) at a dealership around the time that the Consent Decree expired.
^^^that right there is called snowflake government.
Albeit a spooky design flaw, so is a lot of what MADE the U.S.A. Great!

Saturday drove my rig bout 3 miles and started blowing coolant out the recovery tank. Cooling system was maintaining pressure so... Figured a failed closed thermostat. Added a gallon of distilled water I always carry and drove home. No problems but engine did warm up again. Today I was planning to remove the thermostat but can't find my Motorcraft spare with gasket. Purchased one from Ebay and will install it later. No over temp dash light came on either.

Sure they would. They're Hondas! If you decide to get rid of one, let me know. I'm at least interested. A liquid cooled ATC250R would be awesome.
