[AT] Ford 4000 Quitting Afer Running a While

[Cecil R Bearden]

I have to agree with Dave on this one. After spending $1200, 4 days, 500 
miles and 2 days driving all over OKlahoma to get a swather driveline 
fixed that  was supposed to have nothing wrong with it.,  I would just 
replace the parts and be done with it.  I could have had another 250 
bales rolled up if the $#%^ thing had worked to start with....
