Small world. I live in n. central florida. I'm going to try to make the flywheelers show in jan.. but don't know my work sched. yet. However, I am going to the Antique engine & Tractor show in Starke Saturday morning. Not sure what kind of iron wheels you have, but have you considered making them concrete / asphalt friendly. I've seen people with the bar style ridges tack weld a cylinder made of something like 3" or 4" wide flat stock ( 5/16" ? thick ) around the circomcerence of the wheel.. then adding rubber tread.. like from a conveyor belt, etc.. to it.. have seen many tractors on iron in parades this way. Also, if your iron is on knobbies.. the removable kind.. there is a company that makes rubber and polyurethane replacement knobbies that you switch out for parades.. etc. The rubber are fine for the road but may mark concrete.. the polyurethane ones won't mark.. but are more expensive.. etc. If you go to the show in stark, look for a 5'6 guy wif long hair and a beard.. I'll be wearing a tractor hat ( go figure! ) and my YTMAG button on it. I saw Don-tallahassee there last year.. What size centers does it take. I doubt my 8n or NAA will fit them.. otherwise a set of iron would be nice. Good luck. Soundguy
