[Farmall] Steering Wheels

Hopefully someone will buy the equipment and take over recovering the wheels.

I remember your posting about the steering wheel repair, Mike.  You did 
good.  At the time I hunted up the materials to do mine, but never found 
the round tuit.
I might have to now, but I don't know what I did with the materials.  
Must be on the shelf with all my paints, etc.

I was at a local show(Pierce, Nebraska Threshing Bee) a few years ago, 
maybe 4 or 5 and the gentleman that owned Minnkota Repair was there with 
a display.  I really liked his rubberized repaired steering wheels.  
That is when I stopped looking for time to fix mine.  I just didn't buy 
from him then.  Shucks.
