I inherited with a house I bought this manual tire changer. I have never used one before. After a few trials, I have it down, this thing works great. Except putting the tire back on, that is a problem I haven't figured out yet. It came with a bar, and I finally figured out this end is for...

I was reading the homemade dozer/crawler thread with great interest. I saw a lot of discussion on track design, etc. Has anyone ever thought about buying a old dozer with serious problems and converting it over to hydrostatic type drive? For instance I saw on Craigslist a old John Deere 1010...
