For 20 years I ran caps on the drives on my semi's. I did have a rule I would not run bandag caps, and would only run steer or drive casings as caps. My theory was the steer had more weight proportionally than drive and trailer tires, so had better casings. Drives had two jobs to do; 1 carry the weight; 2 pull it down the road. Therefore I felt drive casings were also better. I ran Goodyear caps and would not buy the unicircle caps. Less tread depth for more money. I have even been in AZ in the summer with them and held up fine. I do agree that underinflated tires will blow faster than correctly or even over inflated ones.

If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
