When you sell an auto, you record the mileage at time of
sale and your signature. Is it even illegal to alter the
hour meter on a tractor?<br clear="none">

New tires were installed and it was made to look like a 5 yr
old tractor with about 200 hrs per year.<br clear="none">

All you just said is that a bell-curve distribution for

degrees.<br clear="none">

some technical 2 year programs have higher starting incomes
