    hey jeanette - plum nelly out of town and nelly out of the county. actually i'm in mccrory between memphis, tn and little rock. and yes it WAS beautiful but when i sent it off to be cleaned i was told it would be a good candidate for a re-paint so it's blue now. i suspect something went wrong in the cleaning process which destroyed the decals. kinda made me sick but that's water under the bridge now.

    Here is a picture of the hose mender 1/8" OD x 1". We sell farm equipment & parts so you might find some of these in a local store or maybe a hardware store. Bonnie Hunter posted that she bought tubing and connectors for 3/16" hose from McMaster-Carr. She said the connectors came in a 25 count package and the tubing was 70 cents/ft. The picture isn't real clear - sorta looks like bugs to me. Hope this helps. Just wanted to say, this was super easy to use - got belt correct length first try. I ruined a leather belt trying to get the staple just right. The leg from an old panty hose works good too.
