I'm guessing the tire guy is not part of the railroad service department. Your taking this backhoe to a separate place than the railroad (as in a tire store).
The tire guy probably knows that if he personally deems the tire un-fixable, and replaces it with a new one, and you go on your marry way, the railroad will just cut a check for the new one and not ask any questions. That would be easy tire sales. I'm suprized you talk him into fixing any of them, if that is the scenario.
He not only gets to sell a new tire, but if he don't disgaurd the old tire that actually isn't ruined, and sells it to somebody else as a used tire for half the price of a new one, that is all extra gravy for him.
Those tire guys can be pretty slick. Especially when dealing with a place such as the railroad, that will cut a check and not ask questions.
My tire place wouldn't be above doing that. Not to me, but somebody else such as the railroad, school district, government agency, etc.

The window was dirty and I was driving into the evening sun. It was hard to see and it was my first pass down the field. I got the tractor so stuck that the underside of the tractor was resting on the ground. My uncle wanted
