Went to mow the lawn yesterday and the tractor was tipping. Rear flat. They overground the weld and it too this long to unseat.

After I "straightened" the rim I had to get inventive to reseat the tire. My reward? An opportunity to mow the lawn!

Stairs? What stairs?

Stairs like that would make quarantine a lot easier.

I've used a come-along many times to seat a tire. Works slick as ****.

You shoulda been here to help me! Never tried it before. So far staying aired up.

 

[Mark Wainwright]

Wake up sleepy heads. Crank this one up.

I usually use a sealer between the tire and rim and that makes sure it doesn't leak.

Guessing you'll burying it so go down deep enough so it doesn't freeze. At least 4 feet.

The wife is sleeping in, maybe I'll give it a try!

I like the way you think. Also some various implements of destruction.

Fortunately its an attached garage so its just through the wall. Still need to shut off the well and drain the system.

That slime is only good for nails etc in the tire not to seal the rim.

Do you have a sealer of choice? Hopefully there won't be a next time but...

Buy a fitting that has a drain in it and install at the lowest point to drain the system completely so pipes don't freeze and having to do it all over again.

Not really just DON'T use Silicone. Horrible stuff.

Nope not gonna fall off and under the car so not gonna see it. Did better at welding with flux core than I do.

Glad to see you back on Fred. Thought something bad had happened to you.

Morning Mark, nope all good here.

I wish I would have put water in my garage but not attached to the house and water lines here are 8' deep.
