We were borrowing my mom's cousin's JD self-propelled swather a couple years back. He has a tilt-back trailer he keeps it on that he either pulls with another tracotr and hooks up the hydraulic hoses or hooks up to his old dump truck. The tires barely fit on the thing... I had the rig hooked onto our Oliver 1855 in his driveway, and decided to start it up and just make sure it ran, since it hadn't been run in a year because it's only used for swathing grain ahead of the combine.

It was about a good 4' drop, and all I could do was hang on for dear life. I sheepishly got off and looked it over, no damage to the header or anything, then tilted the bed down. Apparantly I forgot exactly how to drive it since the last time we used either his or the neighbor's (exact same machine) so I went in the barn and got him to drive it back on and give me a quick demo on it again. Managed to get the oats cut down after having to borrow a clutch assembly from the neighbor's parts machine, and then having to fix the drive chain on the same side that runs down the tube to the drive axel. NOT FUN!!! Donovan from Wisconsin

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that.
