22 yrs on the old one - finally replaced

[captjack]

Well 22 years on the first set so I guess I can't complain - just never easy to part with a chunk of change. Popped on rear on a stump or something - sprayed calcium all over me all the way back to shop - fun times ! Pumped the other tire out and it only had about 40 gallons in it. Replaced tires and tubes and refilled with 80 gal each of a windshield washer cocktail. ol girl is heavy now !!

Curious as to the condition of the wheels with CCL for all those years?

I was actually very surprised - they were not bad at all - some lite sanding with a wire wheel and they looked great - I was truly expecting having to get wheels. I guess as long as the stay sealed they are ok, I got this tractor 8-9 yrs ago so I'm not sure when the tire got loaded.
