hey everybody Sam here and welcome back to the channel the last time you guys saw old
blue the tractor I put a patch on it thought it would work it kind of worked but it was
ultimately a big flop today's video is all about continuing my tire Saga and getting
the blue tractor back up and running so I can finish brush hogging our backfield
[Music]
foreign
blocks two by sixes four by fours and the Jack out
of my truck I had the tractor raised up and supported properly on the axle
foreign
well that'll get you a little bit of heat built up moving those things around they're
heavy they are loaded full of liquid don't know if it's good stuff bad stuff we'll find
that out at the tire store next thing they do is clean out our utility trailer bring it
over with the truck it has a ramp so that's probably the easiest thing to
load these things up on put it on there and then take these big girls to the tire shop
all right
yeah that looks beefing yeah I don't know what you want me to do I'm gonna try to get around
[Music]
[Applause]
thank you
[Music] so looking at the valve stem this looks pretty gnarly it makes me think these
are for sure tubed and we're probably going to have to tube these as well that looks like
some serious rust and rot on this wheel and on this other one it's kind of the same way
so we'll see do what we can thankfully the tires and wheels are loaded safely no one
got hurt no one got squishy squished and they made it on the trailer without any big Fiasco
have them tied down now let's hit the road and see if we can get new tires put on these things
so we just got back here from going to the co-op I left the tires with them and that should be
ready to be picked up by tomorrow around lunchtime hope so at least it's Saturday
they close at 12 but between this afternoon and tomorrow morning fingers crossed they'll get us
done in time and I'll get to go pick them up I shot a little bit of a clip showing you guys
the valve stems and how it was pretty rusted and that kind of area when I got to the shop
out there the guy said yeah you yeah those are not going to work you need new rings so
I went ahead and said okay do you have rings I said yes they have them so I said fine just
hook me up for the works luckily though the Hub or the middle part of the wheel they're going
to reuse they just need to replace the bolts the Rings the tires and I also told them to go ahead
and put tubes in it I had one new tube that I did buy thinking that I'll try and Tube this myself
I'm glad I didn't but I left that tube with them I said add another one to the other side but do
not load the tires the functionality that we're going to use for this Ford is not something that
normally you need to loaded tires for this is basically a glorified lawnmower if you know we
run our brush hog behind it a little bit and we use our straight blades with a driveway so
for now I'm going to try running them unloaded I went ahead and had them put the tubes in the
tires anyway even though they are tubeless tires so that it gives me the option down the road if I
want to load these tires up with something like rim guard I can do that the tubes are already
there and it gives me the option down the road that's my thinking at least so what I want to
do next while I have a little bit of daylight left is actually pressure wash this thing I'm gonna try
and get my Degreaser out spray it down pressure wash it clean it up and basically take advantage
of having the wheels off and this thing otherwise stationary to do a little bit of spit shine to it
[Applause]

welcome to the next day I just got back from the tire shop for picking up new tires new
tubes and new rims so what I have here are a set of fire Stones they're 13.6 or 13 and
a half inches wide on a 28 inch rim these are directional so I need to make sure I put them
on the correct sides of the tractor otherwise when you go forward You'll Go reverse it's very
important with directional tires before I roll these tires over and mount them up I want to
take a second to look at the drum brakes on the tractor it would be foolish not to go ahead and
pull the drums off look at the pads see if they need fixed repaired if they're due to
be replaced but otherwise take advantage of this thing being apart just to check on this one system
foreign
the drum brakes are all adjusted and I spent a little more time off camera adjusting the left
and right to match so that with my brake pedals when they're disconnected from each other they
both travel the same distance before it grabs most times the tractor okay most of the times
the way we use a tractor I'll have the pin locked so that your left and right brakes are together
and bound but it's good to take it apart and make sure they're adjusted evenly that way
one is not doing more work than the other it did kind of look like I might have a leaky axle seal
on this side I'm not prepared to really do that project just yet I did clean it out wipe it out
there's no visible drips no bad leaks nothing severe I checked the fluid it's okay as well so
I'm going to leave it for now it's a project I will do in the future near future probably but
it's not something I'm ready just to get total project creep into because honestly I need this
thing back together and working so I can finish brush hogging the back part of our field because
it never got done last year time to Muscle Up Buttercup get these tires off the trailer over
and mount them on the tractor hopefully this won't be a nightmare but we're about to all find out
watch out
did you give me room here it doesn't fall on you so I freaked out more
kind of walking it up closer to the wheel holding it up see how far away I am from the bolts
a little bit too far I'll pull it out [Applause]
all right we'll roll the tire back as you lay down under there so I can roll it up on top of that
there you go thank you and see that raises it up [Music]
just about there here go on the other side I'm gonna have you crank the jack up for me
this will be all right since we're close to the end here foreign
there you go that's it yeah how you like this this real stuff versus Farming Simulator gorgeous
hey one done one to go although this next tire is only flat on the trailer so I'm gonna have
to channel my inner Magnus Magnuson so you might know who that is if you know who that is leave
me a comment down below you'll be awesome if you do but I'm gonna pull my biggest Magnus
impersonation lift the tire bring it over and mount it on this side of the tractor foreign
there we go watch out walk it down
what are you doing
all right we get to lower this one down quite a bit but lowering a Jack is a lot easier than
raising one I will go ahead and put this two by six down on the ground cup raise
it up a little bit but otherwise see if I can commercialize it into cranking the Jack some more
[Applause]
all right now go up a little bit we'll take the weight off the tire
that way we get it centered on real good on the Hub there we go that's it yes
it feels great to have old blue the tractor back in service again she's got some new shoes I think
it's time to get those a little bit muddy and grassy what I have here is our backfield I'm
gonna spend a little bit of time go ahead and brush hog as much as I can get this old weeds
cut down so that this year's grass stand for hay production go ahead and get a kick start [Music]
foreign well did great they have been worked in now and I do not regret not loading the
tires this thing had no problem at all running the brush hog out here on honestly pretty much
as much of a hill as we own no problem at all and the ground is fairly soft this is
winter aka the season of mud for us and if it does it great now it'll be perfect from now on
I guess that's about it tractor got new tires and wheels and tubes but that's fine it had to
be fixed this was needed a tractor is a vital piece of equipment for us so it's nice to have
it up and running again you got any questions or comments you guys know what to do leave them for
me down below otherwise if you enjoyed it let me know I've got a few other things I need to tweak
with this thing and I'll probably bring you guys along regardless but it would be nice to know if
you really are interested otherwise take care we'll see you guys next time on the homestead
foreign
welcome back to our channel the last time you guys saw this video wrong
looking pretty muddy here oh [Music] rubbed my eyes that wind makes me cry cry
