My wife says I have an addiction :lol: , but my kids are out of college so now I have my allowance back :D , I only buy the cheap stuff, can't afford the restored ones and probably won't get around to restoring the ones I already have :( , my kids have no interest in them, which saddens me, but it's about all I spend my money on, still have to pick up a 12 pack for the weekend :D , but I'm not the kind of guy that comes home from work and hits the recliner. Maybe I do have an Addiction :lol: , but It's a good addiction to have, at least I think so 8) . Rick, I think I have 15 M151s but only 5 of them run.

Are they skid steer tires or 4 ply tractor tires? I tried skid steer tires on my Jeep once, not worth it, too hard.

Finally started bringing my latest purchases home, didn't get to keep the tractor tires, :lol: jeep is in descent shape, little rot in the front cross member and battery box, frame is uncut, looks like they cut all the fenders off?? whoever welded them back on did a good job, just need to grind the crown out of the weld.Only 3 more trips, 140 miles round trip. :D
