FW Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Finding out that one of the farms that we rent has been put on a scheme with architectural payments, so we can't do bugger all with it other than graze it, after us giving up our payments on it. > What also annoyed me was me not being told about this after risking my future licence in driving my tractor and chain harows up there last night (in rush hour!), to start to harrowing the grass.

FW Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Sod's law strikes again.... Can you borrow a wheel of any of the other tractors? No unfortunatly we don't have anything like it. Was thinking of asking my Grandad as he ran two Pro's for a number of years, but the likelyhood of him having a right-hand wheel made-up for a tractor which he sold 9 years ago very unlikely.

Probably worth a try if you are not too busy. If the tyre is still in good condition, tie a rope around the tyre, and cinch it as tight as you can. Start blowing up the tire, if the beads are in good condition they will re-seat themselves on the wheel. Again I don't know if this method will work for larger tractors, but it may be worth a try.
