How are you still alive to tell the tale? -
So its more just a "I paid good money for these why are they already going to s***" and not a usability factor?

For me personally, it's more disappointment than anything else. I have tires from the early 1960s that have no rot, while a set that is 5 years old (and were expensive) crack like dried out play dough. I don't expect tires to last 50 years, but 10 would be nice. Especially when I take precautions to protect them. Makes no sense whatsoever. And yes adding a tube works but a decent set of tires would not need them.

Found this https://www.bantasaw.com/catalog/viewproduct.asp?i=&p=2738 Some original part numbers are listed. Do a search using lmb for more.

What's the big deal with dry rot on a tractor tire? I've seen some people on here replacing their tires because of dry rot but in my mind since these aren't going 60 mph like a car. I would think dry rot isn't going to be a big problem and as long as none of the cords or anything are damaged, if it leaks a little bit of air you could just put tubes in them and keep running them

ten years ago when i checked Toro was charging $54 dollars for one of the original type snowplow skids!

Not to mention that the weld itself creates sudden changes in the crystalline structure of the metal, which in turn create stress concentration points that provide points that encourage cracks (fatigue or overload) to start. Reinforcement or shot peening are ways to improve and prevent weld repairs from cracking.

I have lots of GT14 lift/rock shafts Rob. Let me know if you need one. It’s pretty busy to get the side plate off to access it, but doable.

Such a thing as midnight concrete? I'll get Pullstart to help...

Well Monday went by fast. I bought the parts tractor sight unseen.... I gotta stop doing that. It's the super rare woody anniversary edition... 1 of 1. You'll just have to wait to see what I mean -

That's what I'll do, likely J7 like @sqrlgtr suggested. Not sure I can run steel line like @peter lena suggests but I like the thought of it if I can fish some through without a bunch of bends.

Anyone Deal with GIGA Tire?

When I ordered my 4 tires they had two different shipping dates, but they all arrived on the same day. My bottom line, I received everything that I ordered and the price ultimately wasn't out of line, but I won't order from them again, I'll get them from somewhere that shows the price up front. -
Pull a building permit to pour concrete in your big shed & your assessor will be more than happy to adjust your taxes.

I love my 416H. I also have JD 425 (with the Kawasaki liquid cooled twin), and I prefer the Wheel Horse over it any day. I use my 416 in the summer to haul firewood out of the woods, and in the winter to snowblow. It’s always surprising what that 16 horse engine can do. The forecast is calling for 2-4’ of snow tomorrow. I got the tractor fixed just in time.

I was telling my wife a couple of days ago that it saddens me to see our farmlands being busted up into small acreages. Minimum lot size in rural areas in Missouri are one to three acres dependent upon soil condition and perking for septic systems and wells. Our subdivision started out with lot size of about 1 1/4 acres. Then when the law changed, the remaining lots became 2 1/2 acres. 2 1/2 acres is a lot to mow, In my opinion, they certainly don't need that much land for septic system and well. Land here in south Missouri isn't THAT productive but these overly-large lots are NOT productive. We've got several farms being broken into 5 to ten acres. I understand housing needs and I wouldn't want to give my 1 1/4 acres for a 1/3 acre lot in town. On the other hand, some of the lots in town a person can barely ride a mower along side of the house. There's 400 acres just down the road with a gravel road through it and homes being built. Progress I suppose. Our family farm is pretty safe from "development". It already has three oil lines and two overhead power lines and a oil pumping station on it.

Funny all four weren't in the same box/package . After your sure you got all your stuff write them a nasty gram sayin all your bros in the tractor club WILL NOT be ordering. I would and specifically mention the bend over fee. -
You sure about that? News to me I need to make sure my assessor knows that. You gotta have one of those for a pole shed??? Now that is just stupid. Building permit I can see. Wadda they think yer gonna live out there?? I suppose the ole lady kicks ya out for buyin tractors but still.

My F250 4x4 had the earlier 2V version of the V10, which was simpler and probably more reliable than the later 3V version, which seemed to have a reputation for valve timing related issues.

Do they have a roll you can buy/per foot ? I usually look for the USA stuff on the bay because I hate shopping .

Well here is my final experience with GIGA TIRE. I ordered 4 Deestone tires on Jan 3, & paid the extra fees. On Jan 9 I received 2 Deestone tires at my door. Jan 10 I sent an email to GIGA TIRE with a complaint and the picture that Fed Ex sent that clearly showed 2 tires delivered to my door. Jan 10 I received a reply from Tires Easy with a claim number recognizing my claim ??? Jan 13 I get a reply from Giga Tire Telling me that Fed Ex must have lost my package and that they had to allow then 72hrs to find it. They asked if the package could not be found if I wanted a refund or replacement. I answered replacement. Jan 13 received an email from Tires Easy thanking me for my reply, Jan 14 received an email from Giga Tire thanking me for my patients while they resolve the issue. Jan 16 receive an email from Giga Tire Explaining that Fed Ex can not find the tires and that replacements will be sent out. Then that they were sent out. Jan 19 My 2nd set of tires finally arrive. Bottom line - I was not happy with the surprise handling fee. I only received 1/2 of my order. They made it right. Would I order from them again?? Probably not.
