Not exactly a short job turning into a long one, but more like...
A few days after Thanksgiving, me and Grandpa want to check the antifreeze in the 8N before it freezes any more. Drive up to the woods, supposed to be 30 seconds, make it a minute if antifreeze is needed.
Open the barn door to find a huge gash in the rear tire sidewall. Of course, planning on just checking antifreeze we don't have any wrenches big enough for the job (1 1/8 if I remember correctly). School is back in session, so I'm trying to find time to get up there. I know it won't cause problems until this spring so I'm not in any major rush.
Several days later (maybe a week, I don't remember), he and I go up there again and get the tire removed. Back to school, so I can't get it fixed yet. Tire rides around the back of the truck for a few more days until I get a new tube for the tire. (How I got away with just a tube, I don't know, but it means I saved $200 plus dollars and the tire still functions properly).
From there, things fall into place, and the tire is back on the tractor by that afternoon.
