.....gets worn out from too much soaking and scrubbing and won't hold water any longer, it's not a total loss. I'm sure your creative mind has already considered what neat thing could be done with those tub legs.
Here's one idea---turn them into art. Back in the 70s I had a friend/co-worker who came up with the idea of creating characters from tub legs. He did these two for me in observance of the bi-centennial that was going on at the time.

These things commanded a pretty good price back then---even for friends. Fortunately I had an old license plate he wanted badly, along with some Coca-Cola paraphernalia, so we were able to work out a trade.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
