Happy Birthday Rattiac and 36masterdeluxe

Have a Marchant shrinker & stretcher machine Model 6FG with a "box" of dies.  I see them on eBay selling from 6K-12K without dies. New they are about 15K.   For that reason would consider trading the unit..maybe an FLH, vintage Chevy project or even a daily driver truck.  It's about 400 lbs.

Can take more pics if needed.

FYI: My older son is a diver and just started a YouTube Channel:

He does all that crazy stuff like inspections inside of those city water towers, inspecting cargo ship in the St Lawrence River (at midnight).  Yeah he wears XXXL....

About 12 years ago New York State began charging a $2.50 fee for any new tire sold in the state. The purpose was to offset costs to clean up a couple of major tire dumps. Well the dumps were cleaned up but of course NYS has extended the tax several times and is still in play today.

Today in NY if you buy a set of tires you pay the $2.50 new tire fee and additionally another $4-$5 disposal fee for each old tire. 

New Tire Cost example for (4) tires $100 each

NY Tax 8%:        $32
New tire Fee:       10
Disposal Fee:       20
Total:               $62

So it's common to see used tires scattered along the road side and people driving on bald tires.

What kind of taxes (fees  ) do you have in your state?
