New Tires for a Wheel Horse

[Lane Ranger 11,776]

My friend Rodney Burger bought some new rear tires off of Amazon for one of his Wheel Horse tractors!

 

 

The tires came wrapped in yellow plastic with some pretty unique TAPE !  
 

HORSESHOE !

I like it!

Probably an artifact of a contraction of a semi-literal translation from a Chinese dialect for "Wheel Horse Tire."

Language and translation are so interesting!

I like reading workshop manuals from Asian manufacturers. It is very obvious when the translator was a native speaker of the Asian language rather than English because the instructions will say something like "please to be making the torque 59 newtons" and never actually tell you what needs to be done.

The best instruction that I've read stated " Do not mount in the sunshine place " . I guess that is close to " Do not place in direct sun light "

Are you sure it wasn't "mount these where the sun don't shine"

The ad starts out stating 10 ply, but then states 8 ply twice afterwards. By chinese standards I'm assuming they also cheaped out on the "plys" so technically they're probably 4 ply. LoL

Mount'em where the sun don't shine Rodney! LOL See you at the BS

I once had a cool "skid steer" type machine that was made specifically for doing post holes. It had GT tires on it but 10 ply AGs  woulda made steering it a bit easier. Bought it just because it was cool and needed to do 6 holes for the that fence! LOL

(sorry we're going just a tad off topic)

I have a telescope that in the instructions it says that you can use it to view the moons of Saturn as they orbit Jupiter

The instruction manual for my Taiwanese Milling Machine used that exact verbage!

An interesting set up John. Beats digging by hand with a post hole digger.

I luv talking with my Amish neighbors.

On of my favorites came from Annie when I stopped and told her I had caught a skunk in my live trap and took it to the woods.

Her response " Did ya make him dead?  Ve donn like skunks."     I had to confess, I released him live.  But, I did catch two more since that and they were made dead.
