[AT] Bending a wheel? [OT]

[John Wilkens]

Hey Louis,  it's not impossible.  I used a press to aid me in straightening 
an old JD front spoke wheel and an AC spoked plow wheel that had snagged a 
buried stump.  They came out OK with some pry bars, big hammers, anvil and 
the press.  Not perfect but OK.   John
