I do. Sometimes, at least. Yeah, I'm a sick puppy! I recently did
the rears on my small F--d tractor (removing chloride and
painting the rims inside and out). This spring, I put a tube and a
big patch on the inside of the 16.9-34 rear tire on my 826 after I
had a flat (and found half a hoseshoe embedded in the tire). Last
summer, I mounted four used tires on my barge wagon by hand.
None of it was super hard, though I haven't done a tire recently
that's been rusted on from 30 years of sitting. The tires and rims
on big tractors are heavy, so you need the means to move them
around. I used the loader on the aforementioned F--d. Call me
sick, but I like to stay in practice. My first job was busting tires
at a gas station back in the '60s. As you get older, it's a nice test
of the 'ol bod to see if you can do that stuff without killing
yourself. Nobody will question your manhood for letting to Co-
Op do it. In fact they'll probably praise your intelligence and
send the guys with the white suits after me!
