I got my 8n a little over a year ago. After about a month I discovered it had only one tire loaded. Hmmm...Do I empty that one or load the other one? At first I decided to empty the one and call it good. This tractor will work some but the extra weight wouldn't matter in my opinion at the time. I noticed that the core was leaking just a little on the loaded tire but just enough to keep it moist. I drained it out and got it down to maybe a couple of gallons or less. The more I thought about it, I decided to load both of them. That way the little bit left in the one tire wouldn't be on my mind, and as I found out, I really needed that extra traction. By this time that core was leaking pretty good, only the valve cap was keeping it aired up. I ended up getting a metal valve cap with a rubber (?) washer inside. I couldn't get the original apart for love or money. I had some really old antifreeze that can't be used in modern vehicles and put that with a mix of water up about half full on both tires, put the metal caps on and tightened them up and so far no loss of air or fluid. Someday I'll load it on a trailer and take it to the local tire shop and get them to fix it properly. If it ever starts leaking that is.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
