[Ford-ferguson] 1953 Jubilee

[Joseph Knight]

Very important to check the calcium chloride in te tires.  I just spent 
a snootful getting a new rim and inner-tube plus non-corrosive filler 
(needed service call obviously).  If you see any rust on the rims, 
especially around the air valve, consider at least $500-$1000 per wheel 
for starters.  I couldn't find my receipt or I would quote the exact price.
