Kind of a funny story behind that HG you bought. You DID get the wide-track with the loader, correct? I ought to watch what I say on these forums since you never knows who reads them. Oh well. Too bad. Bob's place was what was left of his parent's family farm. There was a farm-house he owned across the road that he rented. So, Bob was sort of a "benevolent land-lord." That neighbor borrowed that HG you bought and kept it for years. Bob had been stewing over it and did not want to cause hard feelings and kept quiet. Bob told me that some day that old HG would stop running and then the neighbor would beg him to fix it - and he'd get it back. THEN, exactly that happened. It was pretty funny. Engine died. Neighbor did not tell Bob at first. He went out and got a "local expert" who just made things even worse. Finally the "expert" came to Bob's house to ask advice on how to get someone's old HG running. He had the carb apart, the mag apart, etc. Seems the guy did not even realize Bob owned it? I was there and we both got a laugh out of it. As I recall, sometime later we towed it back to Bob's place and he did NOT want to fix it. He was afraid if he got it running again - and the neighbor/tenant found out - he'd come and "borrow" it again. Glad you got it. Went dirt cheap as I recall. I would of bought it - except I was in the "I'm getting the heck out of NY mode" at that point. I wonder who got Bob's 1902 Oldsmobile?

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
