[AT] Used Tires

[Almost-Running Deere]

In the past I have advertised them in the local paper under free and if they 
are usable someone with a hole or tear in one of theirs respond and I don't 
have to pay.  If you buy new ones locally insist that they take the old ones 
away-they will but they don't volunteer.
