I have a backhoe on my property, that a neighbor has stored for about 5 years. I get to run it around whenever I want to some small jobs. It's a JD 510 Diesel. It's probably from the late 1980s. I had a blow out the other day. I managed to get the tire off the rim, and put in a new tube. I stitched a tear in the sidewall with rebar wire, and put a rubber patch on the inside. I also covered the outside of the tear and stitches with Shoe Goo. I just inflated the tire by setting the compressor to 32lbs, with a lock on connector and with a tie down strap cinched around the middle of the tire. I waited in the house while the tire filled. When I went back the tire beads set pretty tight against the rim, and where there was a gap I hit the sidewall with a hammer. Looks good. My question is, the tires are pretty old and ratty, but I am only running it on soft soil. I saw online that a 12 ply gets 32lbs, and an 8 ply gets 20. Should I run it at 26? Or should I run them softer at 20? I mainly use the front bucket. I really lack skills with the backhoe.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
