Bringing this crusty 60 year old tractor back to life!
What happens here
After the axle repair, it's time to mount the new Continental Tractor 85 radial tires. Use straps connected to a tractor with pallet forks to safely lift and position each heavy tire onto the axle studs. Carefully align the bolt holes and secure the tires with lug nuts. Apply Permatex Copper Anti-Seize Lubricant to the lug studs before installing the nuts to prevent seizing and facilitate future removal. Tighten the lug nuts using an impact wrench.
Goal: Install the new radial tires onto the tractor.
