Default 13 incher!

Hi Guys:

I'm assuming that's Mike McBard sending. Good to know that the Maritimers are keeping UP the traditions... wow... 13 inches! I'd like to see a photo to compare with my 16 incher.

Seriously, my reading has led me to believe that the earlier ones where done with the same 13 inch wheels as used on the Bofors and the 16 inch wheels were done later to standardise on automotive components.

A good photo of those rims and tyres would go a long way to confirming this... what say, Mike, can you stoke up enough steam power in your gravel crunching computer to send us a photo?

BTW, us Canadians have "transport sections" while our fine cousins to the south have "motor pools"... something about doing the annual swim test in 50,000 gallons of 10W30?

Thanks for the radio relay, Bob. Really enjoyed your visit on Sunday... hope you can make it out again when the weather is less painful! Mike
