Front tires are 16-18" and rear tires are 3 ft or so. Is a scoop a bucket?
Grand-daughter of a farmer, you'd think I know. But I do not. Whichever it
is, it attaches in the rear.

I called and talked with the owner saying that we'd get back with them
Monday evening, that we were still interested but would knock off at least
the price of new tires and she didn't bat an eye. She wanted to tell me all
about the water softener problem they are having with the house they are
selling will close soon. They've already moved to NC for her husband's new
job (in an doctor's practice). It seems to me, as long as we offer something
reasonable, they don't care.
