Went to a large auction here in upstate NY today. It was a good day, tons of tractors and equipment in the sale. Brought my 2 1/2 year old son who loves auctions...gets to sit on tons of equipment with his grandpa, see dogs and wave hi to strangers. Poor guy was having a rough morning, a little over tired, so we didn't make it as long as I would have hoped. But I did end up with 2 deals I am pleased with. Got a set of 14.9x28 tires for my Massey 165 for $27.50. Lightly used, definitely better than the pair that have been on there for 35 years. With tubes Also got a 3 or hitch post hole digger for $200. Brand new.
Now, for the tire, the pair on the tractor have good tread. Just checked to near the point of no return. Had a matching set on a 265, same age, similar usage, both on the 265 went last year. Figure the shelf life is up on these soon. For my new/used replacements. I will store out of the sun. Do I store them laying down or upright? Should I inflate the tubes that are there or leave them deflated? When I install the tire I will put new tubes on but not sure whether sitting with tubes inflated would help them to keep a good shape while waiting to be used.
Thanks
Here is my guy sitting behind the steering wheel of an 8400 Deere on tracks. Right at home.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
