Roy, You Sir always find a solution. Great job. I remember you and Brenda telling me that if they don't make the part you have to improvise. You have been a great help to me and my Merc. I hope the three of you are doing great.

That was hilarious!!! I needed a good laugh. Thanks

Now that is a lead sled!!! Thanks for another fine video Ralph. That is one dependable old Merc. I miss that snow (sometimes).

Thanks so much. I'm loving it too. I get a lot of looks with the Merc. Unfotunately no young women though. :D

Hi Ralph, I just went with the same size as what came off. There are P205 - 75's. Hoping to eventually get wide whites. These were only $63 each delivered from Wallymart. Have a great week Sir, Doug

Thanks Guys. Down the road I may add the whitewalls next. Isn't Christmas coming soon? LOL

Ralph, Thanks for another great video. I love that old barn. It's always neat to see the craftsmanship from the old days. Beautiful country. Is that a Go Pro camera you are using?

Ralph, Glad you and the Merc are ok, although I would have liked to see who was built the strongest. Lol.

Roy, It looks like 10-1/4" if I am seeing that correctly. Thanks for posting those pictures.

Does anyone have a Mercury original poverty hubcap on their car or laying around that I could get you to measure? I have the original 15" steel rims that came on my car new. I'm trying to get the INSIDE diameter measurement so I can order after market poverty caps if I can't find original Merc...
