Chevron tyres
Hi Frank:
Please copy the words as they appear on the tyres... I speak German and French so between us we should be able to figure them out.
Groet! Mike

Tractors
Hi Frank:
I understood what you meant!
As a Gunner (artilleryman) I tend to use the word "tractor" to describe anything that pulls an artillery piece. Being a farm kid from Canada I know it also means those red or blue or green/yellow beasts that pull ploughs (plows to our cousins to the South
).

Cheers! Mike
