Last Sunday while my dad & I were getting started again to finish chopping the 1st crop, I noticed the left tire was wet on the inside, but no oil or anything was leaking out. Tasted just a little dab on my tounge and sure enough, the tire had a crack that pinched the tube.
I chopped that wagon full yet as it was s low leak, but then when I was going to hook to the 3rd wagon looked and everytime it went around to the bottom, it would spray out some fluid. I unhooked and drove home (of course I'm down the road a ways) and took the rented 986 off the bagger. Used our 285 to run the bagger (9' and a good load on it) then which was hauling wagons, and the 1600 was used to haul loads.
Got the hay off just in time as I got wet on my way home- I pulled the cab doors off just to stay cool.
Dad called on Monday and got new tires put on. Turns out we got some Co-op Made in the USA Bias 8 ply tires (forget the name they gave 'em - Agri something) in place of the old and pretty worn Coop Radials. Got to test them out right away on the plow, and they sure did grip compared to the old ones would. NO slippage until I got to some ruts that had standing water in them yet.
We're gonna boot the bad tire and put them on the duals, and then get rid of the completely bald Feild & Roads on them. Maybe make them into some raised beds for the garden along with the other tires. It'll take a bunch more dirt to fill those 18.4-38's though compared to the 18.4-34 and 15.5-38's we've got out there already...

Today's Featured Article - Search For Spares - by Anthony West (UK). Following on from the aquisition of the old Fordson F, I was very much in need of spares. As a novice though I didn't appreciate the fact that there were so many Fordson tractors made, that all the other makes seem rare by comparison. As far as I was aware a fordson was a fordson and it was only through trial an
