[AT] Ebay item Allis Chalmers front wheel and tire

[charlie hill]

Hi Mike,

I have a stack of those myself.  You can buy them for about $5 if not free 
and they work great but just don't look original.  For rolling a project 
around or for a mowing tractor you can't beat them.

Walt,  I didn't look at the wheel and tire that close.  To me it just looked 
rusty.  If it is solid enough to sandblast and paint it would be a good deal 
to someone that needed it.  No one asked you to buy it.  I passed the link 
along in hopes that it would help someone and I expect whom ever that might 
be will have sense enough to make an informed descision for themselves.

I'd appreciate it if you would accept my post in the spirit in which I 
intended it and stop being such a jerk.  You wonder why folks on the list 
give you a hard time?  Read some of you posts and imagine that someone else 
wrote them.

Charlie
