[AJD] GP Skid Rings

[Louis]

I was in China 10 years ago, I have no interest in ever going back.
Their pollution makes LA look pristine.  I was coughing my head off for
2 weeks after I got home, along with everyone else in our group.

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.
