The company I worked for in the 80's was contracted to design and build a system for the Deere assembly line to inflate the front tires on MFWD tractors. It consisted of a conveyor to bring the tire and rim into a safety cage horizontally. Air cylinder controlled vertical doors, safety bar walls and top. There was a circular manifold with jets to blow air between the bead and rim. I think someone had to clip air chuck on valve stem. There was a large air storage tank (maybe 250 gallons) on top which fed the manifold thru a solenoid valve. I believe there were two manifolds for different diameter tires. The tire would be inflated to proper pressure and then the doors would open and the inflated one would roll out and the next one come in. I believe the building we had it in was close to an acre in size. When the blast cycle went on (about a second or two) everyone's ears would pop. I am sure Deere put it in a much larger building which would minimize the pressure burst.

Today's Featured Article - The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's).

At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
