And also do the back tires have calcium chloride in them I’d break the tire down from the wheel and rinse it out good with a garden hose. If you’re worried about waste, I was told once that if you can contain it within a 5 gallon bucket of floor dry, it’s ok to consider it garbage. This was from the environmental engineer safety guy at a large corporation I used to work at. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,634 #233 Posted August 15, 2022 @ACman forgot to mention , you were using a dead blow hammer , they were not invented yet in the day , just a regular rubber hammer , did hundreds of tires , just what you did , back in the day of 12 cent fuel oil , I used to drag hose for that , also before SCOVILL ROTARY FUEL VALVES , on the hose . so when you shouted for fuel flow , it would just about pull you off the tank . Saturday was a big day , usually about 150 + call slips on the bench seat, also remember soaking down a German Shepard that charged me as I DRAGED HOSE TO TANK , soaked him down , probably still running , good old days , pete 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I figured I’d save myself the headache and mask off the final product for a good coat on the big wheels. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe an old parts catalog might help if ever needed. Like you said earlier, sure looks like an engine casting freeze plug. What is the diameter? A polished brass cap would look KOOL! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,905 #239 Posted August 16, 2022 I mentioned that this tractor will be in a parade in town on Saturday. I found out the nieces will be in the parade with us. Well, I built a wheel kit for the snow sled! I need to make the hitch a little more solid and it’ll be in tow behind the Senior this weekend! THE KIDS WILL NOT BE RIDING IN THE SLEIGH ON THE WAY TO TOWN! PNLY DURING THE PARADE! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,905 #242 Posted August 16, 2022 The hitch is complete on the Trail-er-Sled and I built an angle iron draw bar for the Senior too. It should ride pretty level now! 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
