I think he's onto something here: Quick Disconnect (QD) tie rods. Makes for rapid front axle changes with minimal tools required!

Tony, I bought a tractor one time the tie rods were held on by zip tie. Now that is innovation!

What happened to those self propelled Wheelhorse snowblowers you had in your tent?

I sold all of them to one guy who thought he was going to get rich... I still see them pop up now and again at his inflated prices. In reality they sucked and I was glad to be done with them. They where REO's in reality...
