Can't just retube that

[fatjay]

BTW, now that you have nothing going on, whatever happened with your skidsteer re-power?

Nothing going on? haha, man i'll tell you.

I have to fix the tractor so I can move in out of the way of the shed, so i can get 2 tractors into the shed, so i can fix the kubota loader bucket. So i can move the skid steer out of the old shop that I'm cleaning out, so i can enclose that and make it another bedroom, to make room for the new addition. And I still have a car port to design and erect to have more solar. And I have to move one of the chicken coops 8' to the side because the zoning guy complained that it's to close to a property line. But I have my daughters mini that blew a clutch line in the bay that i want to put the bobcat while i repower it. Not to mention i need to dispose of a down tree that's blocking the entrance to the field that i need to till under so it'll be ready for the spring.

I'm editing it into a video, here's the one removing the tire.

LOL!!! That's great. When it takes a weed-eater and a leaf blower to prep for a tire change, you know it's going to be good!

I really want to see how you dismounted that tire. With a little editing, you might have the Pennsylvania version of Clarkson Farm!

Wish I still had your energy! Too funny!!

Order of projects is dictated by necessity. Soon as I need the bobcat, it'll get bumped to head of line.

Cleaned up the inside, went to mount the tube, and it was the wrong size... Completely ruined my motivation for the evening.

Went through hell getting the tire off, but I got it off. Wire wheel'd the whole thing. All the metal is in good shape, it's just that spot. I think water got in through the valve stem and just rotted that specific spot.

I have seen that on a number of rear wheels. The generations before me used corrosive additives to keep water (weight) from freezing in the tubes. Get a puncture in the tube and it begins to take its toll on metal.
