[AT] Confessing a complete lack of knowledge here

[David Bruce]

Like you, I was waiting for farmer to chime in.  I'll not be doing 
anything right away in case there are a few more "tips" to consider.  I 
really don't think the tire needs replacing - a new tube, maybe.  Rather 
than wrestling with the wheel I think I'll suggest they get someone with 
the tools and experience to fix things but it is nice to "chew the fat" 
a bit before embarking.  Probably not a really pressing problem as today 
was the first use the tractor had since last spring.
Thanks.
David
