My son had a truck tire blow out in his shop today. No one hurt but a few guys shaken up. He services trucks for a local feed mill and had one in the shop for its scheduled service. Shop is about 60x100. One of the company drivers had some spare time so he was checking tire pressures. One of the outside trailer tires was a little low so he aired it up. My son was walking by and heard the popcorn sound and asked the guy how much pressure he put in the tire. He said 110 but he checked it again. Just when he put the gauge to the valve stem the inside sidewall blew out, BOOM! A big cloud of dust came out from under the trailer and the guy checking the pressure was wobbling around. My son asked him if he was OK and he said “yes but I can’t hear anything”. Everybody’s ears were ringing. A couple other guys were in the shop and their eyes were as big as dinner platters. Anyway, the important part was no one was hurt. Someone could have been carried out in a body bag if the tire wouldn’t have been bolted to the hub. All I can say is the good lord was looking down upon them today.

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
