Tires? Skinny odd size tires are easily available for someone with lots of money-order the antique tires. For someone with less money- like me and seemingly most of forum- salvage yards that have a pile of spacesaver spares or the motorcycle dealers wih pile of takeoff sets. Harleys run throgh 2 back tires for every front can give you a decent 5x16 tire. The 15 inch skinny spare from large GMs is about 5 inchs wide - marked metric 120 to 130. Some of these tires can be free- a scrap metal place that preps cars wil pull wheels aside until big enough pile to pay guy to cut tire from wheel for scrap weight- and a 6 pack of Coke on a hot day will get you a pair of workable wheels and tires plus a unmatched spare to haul away for neighbors beater with 2 flat tires. Scrounge a litle- the 13 inch spares from Nissans with 4 bolts can be used for trailer tires, couple threads about Cubs using the space savers on front wheels. A trailer axle assembly can be gotten cheap from a yard getting a Dodge mini van ready to crush- the back axle with springs, mount plates and wheels/tires can be $20.00. The GM back axles cleaned and ready for projects set at one yard from $30.00 a set with tires, last about a week before someone stops weekend to get one for farm railer or bike hauler- the trailer supply places want couple hundred for axles,etc. Motorcycle shop that has small dirt bike customers is source of knobby 15 to 21 inch tires for some garden carts and other equipment- might find a 1/2 worn usable set of tires for planter that need a litle ground grip for chain work. RN--- cheap teasing a little.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulic Basics - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In the last entry to this series we gave a brief overview of hydraulic system theory, its basic components and how it works. Now lets take a look at some general maintenance tips that will keep our system operating to its fullest potential. The two biggest enemies to a hydraulic system are dirt and water. Dirt can score the insides of cylinders, spool valves and pumps. Wate ... [Read Article]
