Speaking of tires...how bout recommendations for an affordable source?
I had found decent prices & shipping from Miller Tire. My local yokles have astronomical prices on AG's and quite frankly, I'm not happy with anyof them. Wouldn't mind a set of triribs from the front too...not sure yet as the Big Ten has brand new front turf tires. |

The Allis 916 Workhorse wrecker left today and is probably at it's new home in mid-Michigan by now.
I lasted, maybe 16 hours with a 'Buy It Now' on ebay. The only thing out of the ordinary from a normal 916 was the out of the ordinary 16hp B&S engine (normally a Kohler), the power steering and the nearly new 10.50 ag tires and new wheels. All the junk dangling from it, front and rear, plus, the weights, I still have.
If I had only made $1 on it, it would $1 more than the use I got out of it. Now, I hope the new Green Weenie proves to be just as dependable and perform just as well as it's older brother. As I said before, now all my tractors that I use, (I think), have Kohler Command 2 cyl. engines in them.

| I sure wish I were close enough to buy some of that rolling stock off you. I really like that late model Simplicity sovereign you are currently selling. |
