Box Scraper Box Blade Oops!

[LBrown59]

Patching the tire is out, the ripper tooth caught and ripped the tire about 2' around, looks like somebody unzipped the darn thing. I think I have a picture of the tire on my other computer. If so I'll put it on here as a what not to do with your new toys
First thing after putting a new tire on is going to be check chains, got it!
Thanks for the replies.

Put a new zipper in it.

Dang! Is that all you have to do is replace the zipper? What isle of the store are the tire zippers in? LOL I can imagine that conversation at wal-mart.
Destroying a tire is my limit on self-inflicted stupid for this week, but seriously how much should I expect to pay for a new tire and tube (18.4 x 30)
Thanks

Ag tires are expensive....

Looks like $626.00

Edit - oh, that's just the tire, tube is another $60 or so.

Search around the net for the tire there are a few bargains to be had, Although they are expensive also. I found two that were right for me on on line auction site. But for the rears I actually found them locally for less.
You could possibly make your own sway chains with some chain and a few bolts...

I was looking at the tractor last night (still on blocks, tire will take a couple days to get in), need a couple pieces of chain from the garage, some repair links and BAM, I coulda saved a lot o money

Check around. There is usually a tire shop that looks really dirty and decrepid but dozens of cars coming and going. They are the ones that take care of their customers and usually have a wide assortment of orphan used tires. I have gotten some real deals that way.

Your tractor does have a stabilizer, I found a picture of it on the web (image search for IH 784 and found this:


The case site shows details:

Mr Brown, Could you make your replies a little bit smaller, and use the most opaque color you can find. I am going blind here, and you aren't helping any.

THANKS

One thing to watch for is to have thread wear as close to the other as possible. a new tire against a half worn out one, will cause the old tire to slip in rough going.
