No I don't believe that at all. He is just average common sense person and knows how to manage his assets presented to him. For example, when GM offered holiday work, he always volunteered, because it was triple time. He was never home for holidays on purpose. I liked Unions of the sixties, they tried to organize the "Mallory" plant where I worked and the company got concerned and I started getting 50 cent raises every 3 months. The union failed to get in by 1 vote. I did vote for it in a secret ballot election. So I guess I did my part to support the unions. Today UAW guys making $75-$85 per hour is getting pretty silly

Hey IH3444, which one?:laughing: I need all the help I can get on this one.
Besides the tyre, the engine is siezed and has been for 4 years while it's been standing in a field.

If the engine is siezed, the tire direction hardly matters :laughing: I kid! I kid! ... It's the left tire if you're sitting on the tractor. The tread should make a "V" scoop to dig the ground, rather than a "^" knife shape that would be more inclined to cut thru the ground you're trying to get traction on. In reality, probably not a big difference at all in almost all scenarios.
Edit: Aw crap ... Now I'm 2nd guessing myself. I think it's actually the right one, & I have no idea why!! Dangit, I'm dangerous. I need to shut up now.

Prove it. Show me something on the Internet showing that a guy making $160K at GM whose career choice doesn't make $160K in most private enterprises.
Let me understand this right.... this guy is an unethical cheat and you're saying he is GM's fault? So he shouldn't take responsibility for his own actions? He should be proud of gaming the system? But I'm sure you wouldn't approve of some inner-city mom having more kids to support her crack habit, right? That would be too honest a motive? Better to cheat the system into wealth than cheat it into poverty? Don't forget all of our tax dollars went into providing this butthole's retirement. He and you should be ASHAMED of his actions.

Actually, it is supposed to be a V so that if you are spinning, it cleans itself out. The V in the tracks (on the ground) should point in the direction you came from, not where you are going to.
Edit: In this picture the RF tire (as seen from the tractor seat) is backwards, the other 3 are on correctly.

fellows, take it easy. I was going to chime in on some of my union/regulatory beliefs, but not now, too heated. Lets talk tractors. we can get wound up at work anytime. Enjoy this site. I almost let it anger me, but decided not here. Have fun and try to remember we (none of us) are always right.

Code is the bare minimum...

The RF tyre was actually put on by a tyre shop, having been told it was the RF tyre. When I collected this all 4 tyres were down, 3 made it up long enough to get towed home (too wide for my trailer). The RF was never going to last, I took it off, heaved it into the back of the Jeep and got the puncture repaired. When they put it on, I said it was wrong, they said it was right, I was far too tired to argue. All 4 will have to come off for the paint job anyway. The question of which was meant to be a joke.
I'm all for codes, so long as they make sense. Case in point....
When we moved out to our farm, there was an existing well and no other source of water. We installed a well pump and got everything going. While we were running water lines with a rented trencher, we decided to go ahead and trench the 800' from our house to the front of the property where a water meter would go if we ever got county water. At the time, burial depth for lines was 16" (we're in western KY).
Several years later, we got county water run down our road and we decided to tap on. I found out from the plumbing inspector that code minimum for burial depth was now 30". He said that he would not approve my existing line to connect to the water meter.
The real issue that I have with this is that the county water line, and the line at my meter, are about 6" below grade. I asked the inspector about that, and he said that municipalities are not subject to the plumbing code, so they can do what they want. So I would have to run a new line 30" deep minimum. Why? I can't figure out why the water at the water meter (6" deep) won't freeze, while my line at 16" deep would.
I do like that we have plumbing/electrical/building codes in general. When an earthquake happens in other countries, you have all kinds of buildings falling down. When we have one here (I'm not gonna say that NO buildings fall down), buildings and structures don't collapse to the degree seen in other, less developed nations.
However, the problem is either when codes become tough just to satisfy lobbying groups rather than for the greater good of public health, or when they make no sense at all (see above) or when they state that work must be completed by certified/licensed personnel, whose license is often a nominal fee paid to city/county/state with no proof of skill. In my opinion, anyone should be allowed to do work (with regards to structures/plumbing/electricity/etc.) so long as it passes the required inspection.
