Interesting comments. I was willing to pay for a pair of tires, just not $50 for 2 questionable tires that were mismatched and going on a tractor doing bush hog duty where they are bound to get thorns, and I think everyone can agree that they would take free when offered. I had basically two requirements.....round and hold air, not much else. There are far too many tire shops cutting up tires and tossing into dumpsters to be paying $50 for what I was looking for. If I was looking for 50% tread to go on my pickup, I might have been given them a look, but could probably at least find matched pair for that price. The area I work in has several tire shops within a few minutes drive so I knew I could cover quite a bit of ground in a short time, and come up with something that would work. I spent probably 20 minutes during my lunch visiting 4 shops, and might have burned half a gallon of fuel, so no big deal either way even if I went home with nothing. Before I would have paid $50 for two questionable tires I would simply have purchased new tri ribs. No, I did not ask the shop about if he in fact charged a disposal fee, but it would be interesting to know if he is collecting a disposal fee then selling those same tires - my guess is that several do though, especially when you see single tires for sale vs. a full set. Not saying the guy is a bad guy, just got my curiosity up. The tires that were given to me one had a visible plug next to the sidewall, and the other a bruised sidewall, which is no big deal on a tractor, as it is highly likely they will have several plugs within a short time. This deal likely helped both of us since I can use them, and saved him paying to dispose or labor to cut them up to put in dumpster, so it was a win-win.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: JB Weld - by Staff. JB Weld is basically an epoxy glue that does an exceptionally good job of bonding to cast iron and steel along with several other materials. As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
