Re: (ET) New tires for steering

["Richard \"Zack\" Zachary" <njcfsa earthlink net>]

Hi Chis,
I had gear skips and lousy steering which I fixed by adding shims that 
bring the fan gear closer to the gear on the steering shaft.  Also I 
added wheel weights to the front wheels. Have same old orgional 
Elec-trak tires but it steers much better now.
