[Farmall] Advice on Tires for an H.

[Mike Sloane]

Also try Tucker's Tire Company <http://www.tuckertire.com/>. Jim Dalton 
got me some "irrigation" tread tires for my H at a very reasonable 
price. They would never do for plowing fields or skidding logs, but they 
are fine for putting around.

You can see an image of my tires at:
