I just replaced front tires on my Massey 44 and was reminiscing about the 6 yrs I spent fixing tractor/combine/truck tires for the Co-op. That makes a person old. Nothing worse than a combine full of grain with a blowout in an irrigated cornfield.

I know one ,,,Darrel Hawker,,,
I hunt his ground in Iowa and call him to see where the pheasants are and the timeline of the fields being harvested.

Most around here are dead or so crippled up they can't move anymore.

It takes longer to drive them to town than it does to break out 2 bars and the tire soap.

Ether is your friend when trying to get a bead to seat.

Split rim qualified. Word of advice use your left hand when filling them. You probably won’t miss that one as much !


It’s a lazy man who can’t find his wife a second job !
