[AT] Some background to your tire/ rim issue.

[bloomis at charter.net]

I’ve hit 2. First was 70 Chevy C20 cresting the top of the coast range. Wasted the right front. Second was 89 Escort on Hwy 1. The whistles drew that sucker right into the grille. Wasted the whole front end. If they are going to run into you they are going to run into you. Lots of strikes on the ½ mile drive at work thru the vineyards. Grape fed deer are doe-lishus. Never see a layer of fat like those suckers.

Just make sure if you add the deer whistles to read and follow the instructions. They are supposed to have a certain amount of empty space behind them so air can flow through. Otherwise they aren't as effective. I have seen quite a few that weren't properly installed. Usually mounting them to the front bumper in front of the grill doesn't give enough empty space.

We have deer as thick as ticks on a country dog here.    Knock on Wood, we have had may near misses, but our vehicles have those "Deer Whistles"on the bumpers.    We get them at Wal Mart, they look like little horns that stick on the front bumper.  About $3 for a set.  So far, in 25 years we have not hit one.   Saying that, probably jinxed my luck......  
here they are on Amazon....https://www.amazon.com/Bell-Automotive-22-1-01000-8-Black-Warning/dp/B000CC4O58/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_263_bs_tr_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=H023FJ2DS1C4FVJ6DB31

Thanks Joe! 

 

I did get the wheel off the hub tonight. It did require the use of my Harbor Freight “porta -a-power”(small hydraulic ram).  That wheel was rusted pretty tight against the hub.  I did not have much trouble with the lug nuts. But I had been soaking them with penetrant. They came out pretty well.  Now if I could only find the right size taps and dies to chase out and clean the bolts and hub I’d be good. :-). I won’t know where any of this stuff goes.  I could have sworn I knew right where they were....

 

A deer decided to jump out in front of us Sunday night, so my wife’s vehicle is in the body shop. Which means she is using my truck (yes I somehow overlooked/forgot the rental car rider for the insurance policy). Hopefully I can get to the  tire shop on Thursday at lunch when she doesn’t need to use the truck to get the tire switched between the wheel that is bad, and the new wheel.  Should be done by next week.

Spencer, for some long period of time the 430V always parked outside with little covering of any kind. When I first visited the farm, I immediately went to Harbor Freight and bought a large silver tarp and totally covered it. That rim and tire on that tractor that were deteriorated faced to the North under some shade trees. The tire was flat. I took over my generator and air compressor and pumped up the tire. That is probably why the tires/rim on other side faced South  and was in the sun. You made both June and I very happy to read  all the TLC you've done to that special tractor. You truly have something to be proud of for a long time! Joe Hardisky Ryman Farm, Dallas, PA
