Now I have a big toy

[Sutton]

I bought a used 1980 Case David Brown Mudder about 18 years ago. I just retired and was going to scrap it out, but changed my mind after I started it up. I ended up making it all pretty.
It came from a farm in Castroville, California and was used in the mud to farm Artichokes. I bought the tractor in 1990 for a project which didn't work out. So it has set for 18 years behind my house.
I guess it a big toy now. The Grandchildren love to ride and steer it. It is pretty big as it has four oversize tires and 4 wheel drive. Now I have a big toy. People ask me what am I going to do with it?
I reply, "it's for my Grandchildren to come see me"
I do have some issues with it as one tire won't seat.

Ok, enough

Welcome aboard. In regards to the tire issue: Since the tractor sat for so many years, maybe the tire is dry rotted? Or perhaps the rim is rusted so much that the tire will not seat on the rim. Perhaps other members will offer better advice to solving your problem? Good Luck. :tractor:

Rather unconventional but depending on the size of the tire, three or four quarts of green slime may stop a slow leak even in large tires.
