Just trying to see what kind of a response I would get.
Now I’ve got to go order tires.

COSTCO often has good tire pricing.

I guess all the hyd. hoses on my trencher need replaced. They are well over 20 years use. So I need to replace the seat also? What about a 1965 Case 730? If a tires gives up while haying will I scare a neighbor, or frighten a cow?

I better check with my ins. agent. Sounds like ALL my equipment will need to be scrapped. Sure don't want to sell it at an auction and be liable for something!

Really?
Excavator tracks are different?
Why?

They take a specially shaped air.

The thing about a hydro hose is, that of it pops a leak on a high pressure side, and a person is in the wrong place, injury could happen from being sprayed.

Probably about as likely as having a blow out on a high speed excavator track tho.....
:laughing:

Makes it a lot harder to keep on tack.

Kinda like TBN threads.

I learn something new every day here on TBN.

I have a JD Model N manure spreader, '60s origin best I can tell, with the original tires still intact, still holding air such that I don't have to air them back up to use it annually, weather cracked like you never saw a tire weather cracked. Totally amazing, but they are not overworked either by the weight they have to carry, or the friction they have to produce to roll the scraper bars along the bottom of the unit.

Tube them

Tube them

If a sixties model like he said, it probably came with tubes in the tires.

Might put some good tire sealant in them and run them until they pop.
