The 1086 has had a slow leak in a rear tire for about a year. It loses five pounds in a month making it one of those fix it jobs to put on the back shelf. Today I had it in the shop for a few little things and decided it might be worthwhile to look at the tire a little closer. What I found was two huge tire plugs sticking out with one leaking. I would NEVER plug a rear tractor tire so it didn't happen under my watch. It has been used by one neighbor off and on so I pretty much know who did it. These holes look like something 3/8" went through the tire in two places about 3/4" apart. I'm not as upset about the holes as I am in the quick cheap way they fixed it. My arthritic hands are hurting so darned bad right now from wrestling that tire, but I wasn't going to pay the tire truck to come out to fix it either. I put a five inch patch over the holes so it shouldn't leak but if it does and I need to tube it the neighbor will hear about it! Just one more of those many stories about lending machinery out to the neighbor. (sigh) Jim I don't know why the pic is blurred,maybe I was shaking too much!!!

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
