1st off cheapest replacement for tractor tires....used truck tires are cheap and fit the tractor for around $20 bucks mounted... doesnt matter if they are slick, as long as they are not cracking.. So the tire dealers love selling off old mostly slick truck tires.. its a win win for them as they dont have to pay the disposal fee, and get money to boot...

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
