Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
hi,those tires are a new Goodyear tire,R14T.i ordered them on this tractor cause i'd read some favourable reviews.Goodyear calls them a Hybrid Tire,whatever that means??evidently they combined several different treads,the turf tire,ag tire,construction tire and who knows what else to come up with these.take care.Greg

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Looks like an AG tire with big fat sipes, maybe for wet road braking?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Should get along in the mud and snow pretty good.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I went to my best friends house, and mocked up all of the front sheet metal, and fit the doors, for him on his 68 firebird, a lot of new panels, and a slightly bowed hood I had to get flattened out a bit...a little finesse, and some patience, shimming, tapping with the body hammers here and there and its looking strait and ready for final priming and blocking out...I know whats coming on my next day over at his house!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Mud? Snow? But it's so pretty!

![]() Rain rain rain all day. I didn't have things I needed to get things done that were only inside. I did break out more concrete around the drain pipe in my 1st floor shower so I can set the drain lower before starting tile work. It was raining heavy, so couldn't mix up the thin set outside. Just getting into this shower job that has been sitting many years. A winter project I didn't get to. Moving forward on it now

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Oh man. I've got plenty of those to do things myself. Just getting up the drive to do them is my problem.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yeah well the wax will do more than make it shiny for sure. Keep up on it like that and it will be looking great a very long time. Just don't forget to scrub the mud off the tires
![]() Boog, like I said, that shower has been out of order many years. Curtain pulled shut and I just go in there to pee. I don't even do that very often. I'm usually upstairs or outside. I need to get serious about my two major projects, moving the barn and the cellar dig-out/lay-up block ones. Both are pretty far along, but to have them off my slate will be enormous. I look at small things that need done and tell myself I can't be getting myself too spread out. I do try to always have a smaller task I can jump to when a big project gets stalled. But the shower tile is pretty big for a small one. To have that done will also me enormous. As it's been, I don't even think about it. I want to not think about it because it's done! The more I do the closer I get to nothing better to do but mess with my trucks. They, too, have had to be waiting. To move that barn I had to build a pavilion to store things from inside the barn while doing the move. I built it last year, about a year and a half ago. It's only temporary, made to easily disassemble and reconstruct somewhere else (as a carport). I was thinking what a good thing it is that I did that last year and not this year, with the way the cost of materials has gone up. This project requires a lot of temporary construction, temporary support posts and beams, cinder block connector walls, cross-beams from wall to wall, and misc. bracing. Probably more spent on temporary materials than permanent. et this done I'll be able to move back in freshly organized, get my slab work area back, and gain a carport for my '72 K2500. Then it's get all the cinder block stacks to disappear into the cellar. I stay motivated to see these things through, so I can start talking about something else ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
We have 10 acres and I would use it to mow down some of the chaparral we have around here, for a nice big fire break. Could also till the lower pasture. Oh well, enjoy it!!!

My neighbor has a tractor. He used to clear the brush and keep the dirt road smooth, but he's pretty old now. He really can't do it anymore. I offered to buy his tractor but he won't sell it. He's a tough old guy. He's not ready to give up yet. I admire that.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Went and did some bartering, agreed to put the front grill and bumper, Etc... on the front of this S10 for dual exhaust on my C10. Yes there were other parts given to the person doing the exhaust. He didn't have time to figure out how everything was supposed to go back. took me 3 hours. This included cleaning and painting, otherwise it would take me less time.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Back flushed the radiator that came out of the Chevelle found the cause of my overheating issue. I thought it was rust but it turns out to be what looks like a rodents nest. Backstory car was apart and either the mouse got into the rad through the inlet/outlet or the engine itself . Totally my own fault so I called the builder to apologize that I blamed him .
I used water and 60 psi air after I took the petcock valve out I bet there was a lot more that missed the bucket

I hope it didn't smell as bad as it looks.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
We went to my Mother in Law's to watch the exchange of her 1999 trade in for a 2014, and then go for a drive with her as co pilot. Then I took my granddaughter next and my Wife last and I could have just kept driving.
