tried that this last time not sure if the glue didnt hold or what but the leak got worse.. we had tried plugs before but was still leaking... this last attempt i used a trick i learned when working in the dealership.. took 2 plugs and put them in the tool.. then shoved them in the tire... still losing 2lbs per day but thats alot better than being completely flat in a couple hrs.. think part of it has to do with the makeup of the tire... unlike car tires with softer rubber, the tractor tires seem to be made from a much less flexible rubber... wish i had some of those hybrid plug patches we had at the dealer... might a worked better but never know..

 

At work I'd never allow plugs, there and at home I patch. And use a tire buffer to abrade the surface first.

While these are tubeless I always use a tube on the tractors anyway. The speed will always be low so won't have the abrasion between the two. I used to get HD tubes from Gemplers but they don't carry that anymore.

 

ive never liked tubes tbh... someone had put one on the go-cart when the tread got old and cracked to the point it wouldnt keep the air in instead of replacing it before we got it... it didnt put even pressure on the inside of the tire and worn out the center of the treads...

 

I grew up with them so they are not a problem for me. One time I pushed a tubeless tire right off the rim with a max load in an FEL and turning in 4WD. After that I went to tube on that tractor and never repeated the issue.

 

Always use tubes on the tractor myself, can help if you knock the tire off the rim. Also, when you se it poking out the tire you know it's replacement time ??

 

Here we have a nice long crash video.
I have a few questions. Watch and see if you can find the really odd non crash.
Why in certain countries do so many people make a left turn from the far right lane
and cross over an active left lane when that is where they should be in the first place?
Could it be too much liquid stupid juice? Then there is light colors.
Red is stop and green is go??? In some of the crashes they may as well have no lights.
It seams to be just one big free-for-all.


Also there are a few that look they are from the USA.

Then there is Japan.


I am sure they mave worse ones.

When the trend continues to haunt you at work.

 

too bad the floors arent heated... could make scrambled eggs..

 

They are doing it again in China. This time it was vaccines.

 

A thanks to Sean.

I don't remember the thread, but in the past I mentioned having hard drive issues and Sean talks about using Time Machine to back things up and different hard drive options for it. Being new to Mac, some of the info and discussions about all this are cryptic. Anyway, got the external back up drive.

Then I had my second hard drive issue, the first one Apples Disc Utility solved the problem. The second one turned out to be a faulty file and it was only a cryptic old discussion where I could out about that fault. Then I backed up the computer finally. While it can do incremental images, I pulled it out when I needed the port.

Just this past week, failure again. This time computer would just shut down hard during boot up. Used the bootable USB I made from Seans suggestion, found a major fault in the hard drive that could not be fixed. While doing this in a Windows environment would have been easy for me, Macs are new territory. Hunted down a new hard drive, leathered how to do surgery on a Mac. Figured out how to get a current image off the existing drive using the USB boot, which was real good because from August I had a ton of new images, videos, and other work, including IRS stuff.

So newer, bigger hard drive installed, and after one failed attempt got this puppy back up and running from where it was a week ago.

This is a 2011 Mac I bought used, loaded with tons of software. After pulling the old 1TB hard drive out it's a Seagate. It turns out Apple replaced a lot of Seagates in the 2011-2013 time period on their own dime for failures. I have a feeling this one was never touched.

So Sean, thanks for talking about this in the past. Since I never did all this with a Mac before, this week was stressful considering everything I've got on here. The little Passport 4TB is sitting in the background, it's little white-blue light blinking on and off slowly, and Time Machine doing its thing every hour. I may never have to use it again with this new WD Black 2TB, but its there.

 

If the WD Black you got is anything like the old Caviar Black I put in our old desktop (still working in new one) - they were just one level shy of a server class drive - in the day.... I've had my best luck with WD, Seagate: not so much... Glad you got it figured out, Jack -- soon you'll be happily living in the Land of OZ

 

 

I bounce around between WD and Seagate.
I recall at one point WD had issues with a surface mount diode taking a dump.
All you had to do was remove it to get the drive to work to get the data off it.

Right now I have one 3Tb that has an issue I don't have the tools for. That one will cost $1000.
It has 3 years of photos I need recovered.

 

I still have alternator videos lost to the cloud. I need them or need to redo them to ever finish that work started 3 years ago.

The guy I bought this computer from installed an SSD fast drive as a second of 250GB. I don't have anything there but I've read it makes a good boot drive to keep the system fast. I installed a HDD rather then SSD as I read it was very hard to get data off an SSD.

Thirty years ago I was able to Frankenstein a failed driver by switching the electronics board from a sister drive. That probably doesn't work anymore ........

Anyway, I'm here typing away on my Mac again in all it's glory. Even uploaded pic and vids today. Life is good. Thanks.
