    My Stupidity kicked in at full throttle.

    "Kroil, the Oil that creeps". A lot of folks swear by it, but I'm with you. I bought the advertising line a long time ago and bought a gallon can of it. Never found anything that it worked well on. Still have most of the gallon left.

    16.9-30 vs 18.4-30 Tire for JD 5410 Tractor in N. Michigan
