Getting the new rubber tires on was nearly impossible, until I boiled the rubber to soften to a rubber band state.
I suspended the non-original 1960's Kettle in a hammock of chain, and created a 1/4 inch gap all the way around. not sure if the kettle is sitting up to high, but I love it where it is.
Thanks for looking!

Very cool. That kettle really looks like it got it's color back. Have you fired it yet? I'm curious to see how it holds up to heat.
Wonderful piece of history, Beef. You've gotta be proud!
Beef, are those rubber treads painted white when you bought them?
