ol'George no offense takin at all. I grew up a farm boy and we always did things off the beatin path basically because the money wasn't there. You did what needed to be done to get thru the season and if you were lucky a couple more on top of that. What I did with the 301 bought me another 10 yrs of steady use and another 10 with limited duty for about a 20$ bill. I still cut some corners on stuff I do for myself. Funny you mention the tire thing BTDT. Side wall in the rear tire of the 125 had about a 6in split in it and I cut up an old bike tire and glued it on the inside of the tire and tubed it and was able to get another 4 yrs out of it. Necessity is the mother of invention.
