I have a 1969 Oliver 1650 that I recently had brand new tires and tubes installed on. We also loaded the rear tires with calcium.
This was done late last year. Early this year one of the rear tubes evidently ripped somehow, because it started leaking fluid all over. The company that installed them came out and replaced the tube, cost me 300 bucks. When lo and behold the other side is now ripped. I have not used the tractor at all since the first one ripped. What could be causing this? This is getting expensive and something is telling me that there is something to this and not just bad luck. They explained I could’ve ran over something that ripped the valve stem but it looked fine. I only use in green fields too. The other curious thing is that it sat for two weeks on my trailer with no problems and just started leaking. Now the other side did same thing. No use, randomly ripped/leaked.
Thoughts? I have one but would like to hear opinions and others experiences.
