Angle grinder with a wire wheel. Then I sprayed it with fluid film to keep the corrosion to a minimum.

I would gladly pay $300! I have the equipment to load tires myself . But with windshield washer fluid hovering in the $3-4 a gallon region x120 gallon. It will have to wait until I find washer fluid on sale 😭

You got a smoking deal on the tractor for sure ! I was no where close to that in price ! I also called three dealers within about 2 hrs of my home they were all within $400 of each other . So I went with the dealership that gave me the best trade in price . Nobody would move off their marked price.

Most definitely will. We have rain here for the next few days in the north east so I need to wait for the ground to tighten back up before I can get out and try it out . Looking forward to it though!
