I went to a local tire store yesterday to have my rear tractor tires and tubes replaced. The young fella assigned to he job did great until he came to the part of filling the tires with water. He used an adapter to pour a half gallon of anti-freeze in each valve stem. Now comes the fun part. He hooked the water hose to the adapter and let the water run in for several minutes until the beads popped in place and then let the water run in some more. When he turned the water off and unscrewed the adapter, he had water spraying out while he put the stem needle in. I'm talking about a lot of water. Never checked the pressure with a gauge. I'm sitting on the tailgate of the truck watching this. We loaded the tires in the truck with a chain hoist. When I got home and unloaded the tires, I noticed that one was a lot heavier than the other. I put them on the tractor and while it was still jacked up, I rolled the tires so the valve stems were at the top and checked the pressures. One tire had 8 psi and the other 10. Got a lot of water in the gauge while doing this. Added air to bring the pressure to 16 in both tires. Now I'm no expert in filling tires, but having one tire much heavier than the other is not a good thing, right? In any case, the fella tackled the job without a care in the world so I gotta admire his enthusiasm.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
