I used two AG tires on my Case back hoe before. I think that the size was 13.6-24's

They were taller and narrower

Hard to find anything in 24's. Probably gonna end up with 16.9-24's

That is probably the size that I used when the correct tire wasn't available.

My memory isn't so good lately

Lookin like a $4000 day and nobody has 18.4-24's in stock. I guess 49 years is the limit on these...

I’ve got a couple of used ones here if you want to come get them. They came off our 410 a few years ago.

I've been looking at class C stuff. When I find the right one will get one. The motorhomes that sell new for 300-500+ lose about 1/2 in a few years, probably faster than that. And on the new ones the quality control is really bad.
Have come across a few that have almost no miles on them as the newly retired gent buys one and dies. But this is Ariz where a lot of blue hair folks go near the end.

In the early days, I had a gal at a bank I did business with that actually lived 8 or 10 doors down from me that wanted one. Her husband travelled the world building and tuning engines in huge go fast boats for the super wealthy. Their goal was for the both of them to retire, sell the house and buy this monster motorhome and travel till the end of time. His garage had 400 amp service in it to run all his engine building machinery and I ran wire to fed the power for this motorhome. They bought the motorhome, sold the house and she passed away from Hep-C before they ever left the street. He died 6 months later from the same thing. Their son had to sell this monster motorhome for a huge loss and it didn't have 200 miles on it. I still think about that to this day, super good people, super sad story.

I heard a variation of this story when I was attending the Mecum Kissimmee auction in 2023. My wife struck up a conversation with a woman who had just finished selling off most of a collection she had inherited. She ran a campground in New Mexico. A wealthy older gentlemen had cashed out his business, and took up residence in one of those monster motor homes at her site. He passed a few years later, leaving her everything. She practically gave the motorhome away, couldn't believe how badly it depreciated, though still in excellent condition. Happy ending, she kept one Corvette and a Cadillac SUV, took a beating on the Mecum sales, but never had to work again.

Wow, another Dealer Demonstrator with a ton of options, thought it might have mine beat. No power windows, passenger side mirror, or am-fm radio, otherwise window sticker is identical to my car.

My "friend" the software trainer used to dress like that.

I miss her sometimes.

She could have worn jeans and a T shirt to work if she wanted to.

I'm glad she didn't.

So did my wife in the 90s. Her office was five minutes from a Hooters restaurant. Had her meet me there for dinner one night when I was entertaining managers from out of town. She walked a complete circuit before she found our table. Every set of male eyes in the place left the servers to focus on her, she had a mesmerizing strut in high heels in that era. She's paying for it now, with hammer toes and orthopedic shoes.
