[AT] Tractors

[Gene Dotson]

    I did a little tractor work today also. Actually have been working on 
the cast wheel centers for the 1942 Case VC the last 2 days. Was a beautiful 
day for working outside.  I finished cleaning the rust and paint from the 
wheels and got the inside of both of them painted. Will get them turned over 
and paint the outside of them tomorrow. Been running my big 9 inch grinder 
with a wire brush on it, and being out of shape, it was quite a chore 
wrestling with it. Sure tell it in my back tonight, but a hot shower helped 
that.

Temperature in the mid 60's today, and almost 9:00pm and still 61 degrees. 
Gotta be spring.

                        Gene
