OK, It is a done deal!! I ordered the 26" 589's before I left on Friday and they are on the way already according to the email I got. I want to thank all of you for the imput. I guess I will use the polished wheels my Xtrs are on since the fronts were worn out and the rear s half as old but cracked big time. With those wheels and new tires the ole RTV will get a nice cleaning and some of that highly recommended Armorall. Tommy does that work on manure too???I may need a couple of extra gallons then...... I just got back from the folks and I thank you all for your concern. My Dad appreciates the prayers as do all of us. Bordercollie</p>
