         I think bungee cords work better than baling
wire. 
        I was just thinking about all the on the farm
and out in the field fixes I've seen on tractors. 
        Along the lines of tires and tubes, probably
the most unique fixes I've seen was on an Oliver 70
out in Farmersville Equipments salvage yard. The
farmer, I assume couldn't afford tires on it and so he
had bolted 6x6 blocks to the inside of the rims and
steel angle on those for traction. It really intrigued
me and you know if I owned that tractor I would
preserve it just that way! Really gave the old tractor
character and most definitely showed a story of its
past.
     That is what this hobby is about, not having a
showroom of immaculate tractors but preserving the
past. 
My thoughts anyway
