    Default Nothing is ever easy

    What started out as a simple thing escalated pretty quickly,Pulled the Troy built horse tiller out of the shed of course a flat tire and wouldnt start.So hooked it to the garden tractor and drug it to the front garage,pulled the carb and stripped it then in the carb tank over night.Well to my delight all the 20 plus year old fuel line where deteriorating,got it running great,now for the flat tire.So i pump it up and start to soap it to find the leak,well were isnt it leaking bead on front and back and the big split in the side wall and of course the rim is rusted to the axle so i wrestle the tire off the rim while still on the tiller.Well no one stocks a 4.8x8 AG tread tire in my area,so i had to order oneSo am i the only one who has this kind of luck,as i tell my wife if it wasnt for bad luck i wouldnt have any luck at all.

    Don't Feel that you are the only one.... sounds like my simple fixes in the garage on a daily basis good luck getting the rim off the axle. Try a little Seafoam Deep kreep believe it or not better than PB Blaster and I never thought I would say that. Fred

    Seems like every project that I start turns into a real cluster. Last year I changed 2 pulleys on my rider and installed a new belt. It lasted about 2 uses before one of them bit the dust. Of course the belt is destroyed too. I got one on order. I had to install a starter button on zero-turn.

    A plastic shop can "weld" it ... did that to a camper water tank once, after spending about $150 on "sealers", never leaked again.
