Let me tell you about a set of tires I purchased from WalMart. Several years ago I needed tires for my Jeep Cherokee and I saw some Goodyear Wranglers at WM for a decent price and purchased them. (Actually, when you figure all the fees WM adds, the price wasn't so decent, but.....). I declined the road hazard because I don't do offroading, just quite a few miles on my gravel road. After about 20K miles, the tires were cracking REAL bad on the tread (not the sidewall) and I went back to WM to show them the product that they had sold me. (Sidenote: the tires were cracking around each of the knobby treads of each tire, not from any suspension problems or from over or underinflating) The WM tire "supervisor/foreman" first asked if I had road hazard. I told him that the tire is falling apart from use, not hazards of the road. He then told me that under "no way, shape, or form" would Goodyear do anything about the tires. Lots of people have tried, but none have ever been compensated without the extra road hazard fee. I then asked him if he would trust his life with these tires. His response was "Oh, h*ll, no! Those things look like they will fly apart at any time!" He politely told me to pound dirt and that my tires were typical for Goodyear tires. My advice is to STAY AWAY FROM GOODYEAR TIRES! Currently running Toyo tires and I've been happy with them so far.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
