Tall tire tale?

Posted by Rick Remmert on August 29, 2013 at 19:07:17 from (68.103.4.23):

I was talking to a guy at the tractor pull last weekend. He was looking at my Super C rear tires. He said he worked for a farm tire dealer his last two summers of high school. He went out to a farm with a Farmall C in a shed. He was suppose to put new tires and tubes on the rear. He jacked the back up and sat it on blocks. He could not turn the tires by hand and had to use the starter. He went to take the valve caps off and they didn't look right. They were 1" or 1 1/4" pipe caps. He took the cap off and it started blowing dust out. He ran outstide and stood until it stopped. The tire was 1/2 full of powdered lead. He had to take the rims into town and have the valve core holes welded shut and redrilled. They didn't have the equipment to refill them. They went back with calcium chloride. He filled a gallon coffee can with it and had to use a winch truck to pick it up. By this time I was thinking about getting up on the seat in case it got any deeper! I will let you guys try this one on for size.
