Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

.37” of rain so far, 70 at daybreak about 80 now. Grandson has a ballgame if it’s not rained out.
And as I was typing my daughter texted to tell me it’s cancelled.
Not much going on today, garage clean up finale tomorrow.
A friend that recently sold his small chain of pharmacies called me last week, he’s back from his summer house in Vermont and he’s bored. So he’s coming over to help. I suspect that there will be as much BS as work.

For smaller tires I use the bungee cord method. Lots of tire places use air tank bead sealers. Wonder if they sell big ones for tire tractors?

What is the bungee cord method?

Roy that Kubota L4740 if in decent shape would likely make you very happy.
I absolutely loved my L5740, except the stock seat wasn't padded enough

TractorData.com Kubota L474 tractor information

Did I read that right? It comes with a blade, a front snowblower uses the mid mount PTO, and a Backhoe - BH92! What a deal.

Home Depot is discontinuing EGO mowers. There are clearance models available about $50 off. for example the 21" Reg $449 on sale for $399. They never go on sale. Lowes will be selling EGO now.
Not all Home Depots have stock available so check before you drive too far. The one in Georgetown had two left.

Jack up the tractor if wheel is still mounted and place bungee cords around center of tire so the sides bow out to rim.
Bigger tire and start looking at tie downs with ratchets to do the same. never tried it on a really big tire though, imagine it would be difficult as sidewall to width percent decreases.

do you mean a ratchet strap? Most bungee cords aren't very strong from my experience

Toppop, rain held off til later in the day. I never open my sunroof anyway...

I use a rope tied around the center of the tire, then slide a long screwdriver under the rope and twist until the sidewalls are pushed out.

Me too, except I use something bigger than a screwdriver.

Achieved my goal for the day

The screwdriver I use is for removing lower radiator hoses so it’s about twenty inches long. If the tire is on the tractor I just slide away far enough to clear the tractor.

Nice work on your storage unit.
