Sometimes, Ya Just Gotta Shake Yer Head

Not mad you understand; just plain amazed at this world sometimes.

A few days ago while planting wheat, I notice that one of the tires on the 966 is weeping fluid around one of the lugs. A wet spot about the size of your fist.

Call the tire shop and tell 'em that I've got a leaky tube; okay, service truck will be right out with a new tube.

Service man looks at the tires on the ol' gal and tells me I need new tires and tubes. They are old and just plain wore out. Huh? They have 90% of their tread left!?

Sorry, no use even breaking it down as I know what I'll find in there. Ya need new tires and tubes.

Well, what do I know? I need this tractor back in the field. Get the tires coming from your supplier.

Yesterday, I'm on my way to get more seed and I run into the service truck headed my way. I tell him the tractor is parked in the yard and I'll be back in a couple of hours.

I get back and he is just finishing up installing the new tires. Tells me, "Oh, nothing wrong with the tires; valve stem was torn on the tube".

Old tires are okay? "Yeah, they can be reused, you just need a couple of new tubes".

I give up!

Allan
