I called out to West Side Tire to see if they had a pair of 14.9-30 tubes. They are about 20 miles west of Minneapolis. I've traded with them for years. The old guy there - I think he's the owner, answered and said yes they had them in stock. $45 and change plus tax each. I said I'd be out there in a half hour. Got there and the place is buisy. Four guys waiting, phones ringing, two sales guys swamped. It's always that way there. The old guy asked what I wanted. I said I had called about the 14.9-30 tubes. He had them on his desk. Like a lot of places anymore they want your name, address and phone #. I dont't like giving it out. I just said, 'Cash sale'. He's kind of a crabby old guy but good natured in spite of that. He said he needed a phone #. I said, 'Nope' and pulled a C-note out of my wallet and offered it to him. He starts complaining how it screws up his inventory yada, yada. I have a big, deep voice so I said, a little louder, 'Mister, I've got a hundred dollar bill that says you will sell them to me on those terms.' Everyone in the room lookd up and started watching us. Then I said, 'And you can keep the change.' He went off on another rant and said he didn't know why I had to be so Gol darned difficult. But he took the C-note and gave me the tubes. Then he said I was 1 in a 1000 for being difficult. I said, 'I know'. Then I said, a little louder, 'My real name is Dick - Head.' Everyone in the room burst out laughing. He got a twinkle in his eye and he said, 'Thanks for your business.' And I walked out with the tubes.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
