Too many Kubotas

Ordered four 235/80R16 all steel construction trailer tires, since many of the nine that came with the trailer were rejected by the balancer.
Got six more tires and wheels from the manufacturer, which unfortunately are even worse. Oh well, looks like there are a couple of good (round) wheels which will come in handy.

New New Holland/Ford brake rod seals for the Ford 550.
I had one TISCO left, the first one was destroyed trying to fit it and I also had a Ford part. Ford part still functioning fine, so last week I only had the TISCO seal left and the right side seal started to leak.
Installed the TISCO and it lasted for 2 hours of tractor work then proceeded to drain about 3 gallons of fresh hydraulic fluid out. GRRR.
Ordered 2 more factory parts from Messicks and installed one seal keeping the other for spare.
No leaks and it was easier to install since it was sized perfectly.
The TISCO seal rubber was so poor you could just lightly pull and rip it.
Total garbage.
No more TISCO seals of any kind for me going forward.
Wasted far more value in time and wasted fresh hydraulic oil than what the price difference was for a Quality factory part.

What's interesting Dan is your wife apparently likes AMC, you Pontiac. My wife & I are the opposite. She just rejoined Pontiac Oakland & I joined AMO. Years ago she drag raced a '69 Trans Am...They're valuable now.
Now she has her '68 Formula, '73 RA Formula and '72 GTO.
