Thanks all, but for now, I have no need to spend the $ on aything new. I just wanted to find some 700x20's that would hold air so I could move the beast around the yard.Sooo, I did spring for some new tubes and did the dismounting / cleaning up of the rims, and remounting my self....called the process" making her roll" and also, built my own ring/bead breaker, ( cuz I'm lazy and not as young as I once was)...I posted some more pictures on photobucket, along with some of my snowplow pieces,( check out the 1947_snowplow album)..
Next phase is to "make her turn over"... we'll keep ya posted.. thanks again, love the information and help from all..
