    Great colors and textures in the image. If that tire ever goes flat I’d hate to be the person that has to break down that split rim.

    G’day Bryan,

    Thank you very much for that!
    Your “Great…” wrap for my rusty hub is much appreciated.

    If it got a flat I doubt if they would even try to undo that corroded mess. I think they would just pump it up with one of those high pressure repair kits. Then again, they might not even do that as the tractor never leaves the sandy beach.
