J de. I have 4 laying down at the bottom of the drive wit good inflated tires/w tubes. I use to chain the rims also.Kind of a funny(if one thinks so)story that happened years ago. On the way to Rice lake, we had a flat on the right front of our 1975 1 ton. No Spare.Daughter came by and she had to go back to the shop for a jack, some 12 miles back trackimg. Took off a right rear tire and bolted it to the right front. continued on to the outskirts of Rice Lake ,passing CENEX that had banners and signs claiming huge tire sale, reasonable. Stopped in and the wise azz salesman said"I noticed you limping in like a 3 legged dog. We don't mount tires on Split rims." I said O.K but how much is a new tire,we will put it on ourselves.He quoted us a ridiculous price, and as usual I told him in a loud voice, "I Don't want the deed and abstract to the store, just a tire thats priced reasonable. as you advertised."I told him I could go to Farm & Fleet and buy 2 tires for the price he quoted me for his store's tire. His reply was' They won't last as long as our tire" Told him I would only drive the truck 1/2 as much. Customers were laughing and the sales man ducked his head as we went out the door to Farm & Fleet. Did buy 2 new ones there.Now we bought solid rims from a Dodge 1 ton with all new General tires. Thats the reason the split rims with good tires are down at the bottom of the drive. Cenex can keep their tires and snooty attitude . pays to shop around. LOU.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
