[AJD] Craigslist Find, 1937 B

[John]

  I have a set of cut offs that came off my 1938 B with a 10 spline axle. 
The tires are 9 x 36 and in very good condition, only problem THEY ARE NOT 
MATCHED, ones a Firestone (90% like new) other a Uniroyal (good but some age 
weather cracking)  I believe. One cutouff wheel/hub is good but the other 
has a bad hub, I guess the only thing worth buying them for is the tires. Id 
take $200 for it all, located in Bloomington, Indiana. John jmn50 at msn.com
