2 days ago I blew a rear tractor tire while plowing. Its a loaded 18.4-34 tire with tube. I usually fix them myself and have a pump & tools to do it. Not my favorite job however. Unfortunately the valve stem of the tube was also ruined in the mishap.
In the past Ive bought these tubes over the counter at the local Case dealer with no problem as they had them right in stock. They are under new management now with a whole new crew. I asked the parts guy for a tube and he was absolutely clueless. Acted like he had no idea what a tube even was. Stumbled around, played with his computer, and went out in the back for a while and finally said they didnt carry anything like that. HUH??
So i go down the street to the big JD dealer. They said they dont carry tubes either but could order one and get it in a week to 10 days. HUH? What do these dealers do with a flat tire?
Finally drove 40 miles to a tractor tire dealer and even they had a hard time finding one. Finally digging one out of their attic and charging me $107 which i thought was kinda pricey.
AM i missing something? Dont loaded tires still use a tube? Isnt 18.4-34 a pretty common size? I see them online for $70 but needed it ASAP. At any rate I got it back on the tractor last night. Guess I better order one online and have it on hand.

The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let’s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
