Think I'm gettin' Old!

Goin' after a bad spindle thrust bearing. Don't mind tellin' ya, that frappin' tire is heavy fer an old fella!

Heavy? Really? Doesn't look like anything that a 6'7" 320 lb lineman for the Packers couldn't handle with ease. As for the rest of us, well, maybe not. . .

I'm going to replace that tire while I'm at it. Me thinks I'll use the loader to get it in the pickup. :>)

Allan- Do you replace both sides when something like this happens or wait for the other side to wear out.

Allan in NE · Feb 13, 2014

Just the one; nothing wrong with the other side.

I feel for you on loading those front tires. The last times I loaded a front tire and wheel I propped the tire up on something and leaned it up on the tailgate of my small truck. I was able to assume the proper lifting position and get the tire up on the truck. To put it back on the tractor I stuck a shovel under the tire and eased it up slightly with one hand, while getting a lug bolt started with the other.

Biggest front tire I have ever had is a 6.50-16, so I guess I must be lucky. That does look pretty heavy.

I just loaded 4 truck tires if you lean it against the round side of a tire you can role the tire you lean it against and it will go over the top right to end gate level.
