It's not surprising that they are tired, given that they are 48 years old! Manufactured in 1966, not 76 as previously reported, they are the tractor's originals. The repair guys said they hadn't seen anything like it! 😀 Likely the tractor has spent its life stored indoors which lengthens tire longevity. One look at the flat one elicited the declaration, "This isn't repairable." The one holding air is the same age. Consequently the servicemen will return tomorrow with two new tires.
Do you want guess what two tires cost? Today they are comparatively small measuring 16.9" on 14" rims. Two tires mounted at $1695.00. Given that this is South Dakota, known for regressive taxation, there likely will also be sales tax.
It was Thursday when I called for repair. Perhaps I'll do some plowing tomorrow, which is Wednesday.
Takk for alt,
Al
