Tractor Fail!

Got the Earthmaster tractor running today.
Noticed the rear tires were low.
Low, they were flat.
Both are water filled and only had water in them.
So I aired them up to 20psi.
When I went to move the tractor to relocate a trailer,
this happened:

Houston we have a problem!

Well, that is not gonna work.
Luckily, the Gibson has the same size rear tires and rims.
they are brand new.
Only thing is I have to change the wheel pan as they are different.
And since the Gibson is not running anyway, I think I will do that tomorrow.
The new tires will not be balasted but oh well.

Well, at least I have something to look forward to!

Glad I decided to see what the 'bump' was when I started moving!
It felt like I had run over something but I knew there was nothing there.
I can't imagine that would have held for very long.
As it is, it is in the upper yard not down in the woods where I was heading.
(Or worse, blocking the driveway.)

Stay safe Ya'll.
