[AT] WD-45 Rim

[Snelling, Wayne K]

Len: Did not ask your location? I think I can pull one-maybe two wheels off a parts tractor but shipping seems to be so expensive--and so is fuel. But if you are close to West Texas maybe we can make a trade?

Yep, got a few samples of that on this set of rims too  :-)    The
problem is that the old-timers USED these tractors and had them full of
Ca-Cl. I still use it, but only for light work, so I have them mounted
dry.  Nothing (at least 2WD) beats a dry, wide front WD-45 for getting
around in the mud, not much weight, so they stay on top.
