[AT] Tire slipping on rim

[Cecil R Bearden]

Just a note here to my own post:
I called Firestone Agriculture div in Des Moines.  Amazing there was 
someone there, but I got to talk to  an old timer.  He said they had 
this problem years ago. and put 4ea. 6x6 in squares of an old tube 
between the tire and the rim to tighten up the tire.

Just an FYI if you ever have a problem like this.  With the foreign 
tires, I don't doubt that this will happen again.
