Many thanks to all who responded to my earlier post about a week ago as to what kind of tires to put on my MF-135. I went ahead and had turf type tires, rather than ag or R-4 tires, put on it and think that I'll be satisfied with them. I haven't done any mowing with it yet but did spread a really big truck load of topsoil (I know I'm late but it's been wet here in SW Ohio) on wifey's garden this afternoon with very little traction problems. I had them not put any fluid in them (The old tires were loaded) and from what little I've driven on the grass I think I'm going to have way less compaction problems with the lighter weight. For those of you that are curious they set me back a total of $730.23 (Ouch!) for 2 new Goodyear 13.6-28 "All Weather" tires. $224 for each tire, I think $36 for each tube, plus 2-1/2 hours labor to pump the calcium cloride out of the old tires, dismount and mount the new ones, $18/tire to dispose of the old tires, plus 85¢/mile to and from their shop. At least I won't have to worry about ever having to do that again in my lifetime! Thanks again for your help.

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.
