Yay, back in blue, again!

I got my tire back on the 33d, after knocking the stem off and losing my calcium fill.. IMHO, you haven't lived till you have tried to get a loaded 19.5 x15 tire off of a trailer, in the rain, by yourself.. I'm not a little guy by any means, but trying to stand that sucker up was not gonna happen without a LONG lever.. using a 6 foot section of 2x4 and some chain, I managed to get it upright.. then moved it into place.. If I was smart (no one ever accused me of that!) I would have parked the tractor in such a way that I could have used the loader to lift the tire off of the trailer.. alas, I got to to it the hard way..

It looks much happier with both rear tires on! :-D

I'm glad you're back on all four again, Kris. I hope the "gotcha bug" doesn't hang around anymore, and you can get some work done without having to fix the tractor. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks Jin! Yeah, I went out, and graded my road, so I managed to do one job without breaking my tractor! :-D

The valve stem was my own fault, but still really irritating..
