When the tractor tire went flat Wednesday the service garage project repair Monday or Tuesday. The repairman came this afternoon and the tractor is functional again. A small nail punctured the face of the tire and protruded about a quarter of an inch through the tire. Likely that nail was picked up in town or on the hard surface road leading to the field. It probably didn't puncture the inner tube immediately but gradually worked its way through it while I was plowing.
Now for the good news. The tire wasn't damaged! 😀 The tractor was manufactured in 1968 and these are the original tires. They still have some life left in them. The tractor has not been in my possession very long. The state of the tires suggests that the tractor hasn't had a lot of work. I'll have to look at the tachometer and see how many hours it shows. That will be good indication of its use.
Takk for alt,
