Having a car in that area, this time of year, does not guarantee you can get around very well. Also, I can't think of any place worth seeing this time of year, with a farming-related theme, within a close distance.

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.
