[AJD] GP Skid Rings

[astroguy at nas.com]

I have been taking parts off of a GP which has front steel wheels.  One is
very good condition the other not so good.  What are they worth?  Maybe I
can purchase and ship to someone if needed. I wont be making any profit,
just a courtesy. Right now I am in an internet cafe in Nanning China, so
anyone interested would need to wait about a month or more.  By the way, I
would estimate that over 90-95% of all farming here is still done by hand
and by ox.  Amazing!!

Other than the fact I wish I had your steel wheels (!) give Kim Johnson a
call, he used 
to make skid rings. He is in Cloquet, MN and his # is 218-729-7143 or at
least that's 
the last # I have.
