Uh.... The tire's missing.
While bush hogging today, I found a nail someone lost. It was a slow leaker. The fluid (ca/cl) leaked out of the tube but stayed in the tire....for a while anyway. It started leaking out the nail hole in the tire. We got the bulk of the fluid pumped out, but the tube was trashed. (valve stem ripped out of tube while driving out to the trailer) No spare tube on the shelf (like there SHOULD have been.) Gotta make a trek to the tire store tomorrow. Meanwhile, since the tires were mounted 12 years ago, rims had a bit of rust. Time to wire wheel and paint the rim in case it's another 12 years before I see it again.
Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.
