Hummm, 'John' mostly said to get a job at McDonald's to pay for a tire, might be quicker than fooling around with triple patching it. I often times do a lot more work than what I save, but nothing wrong with John pointing that out. I think a lot of us have worked on old equipment for almost as long as the equipment has been around. For newcomers, it's a different story. I for one will continue to point out safty hazzards as we go - not to stop anyone from working on this equipment, but so they live long enough to work on a lot of it! An example is the tire & rim threads below - you can patch a tire that way. It might not be 100% as safe as a new tire, but most folks will be able to see the patch, & evaluate for themselves. If the tire patch lets go, probably do so slowly. The rim thing is just plain dangerous. At normal rear tractor tire pressures, the odds are lower that something will go bad. But, a weak rim will FLY apart if it goes. Dangerously so. Since that patch can be sanded & painted and would not be noticable, you are setting up a timebomb trap for other people. I think THAT is reckless & careless. There is a difference here. Both tips carry a bit of risk. One is a bigger hazzard, and is easier to cover up. One is relatively safe, if time consuming. Pto shafts are dangrous. I'm gonna keep telling people that. Why is that a problem to some? Big deal. :) --->Paul
