Grant,
The T bar was bent when I had around six foot of pipe on it only to discover the nut had been welded on.
The bead breaker was a Christmas present from Vicki a few years back so I could change the rear tyres on the tractors without having to remove the heavy wheels from the tractor, saves a lot of back work.
It was bought through the local John Deer agency and had been advertised in their anual catalogue for a fiew years. Vicki thinks it cost around $400.00 Aus. back then.

The tyre is off and I had a bit of luck today I went back to where I bought the four tyres on the blitz from onl to find out they are discontinud, but another worker there said there is one out in the written off stock pile and I could have it for $150.00 ( the original four cost $230.00 each as a field day special), they only got five originally and now I have the lot.
Finished the painting today at long last

It's not finished but I'm having a rego check tomorrow to see if I can drive it at Corowa. I'll hit the tray with a bit of paint on Friday. Fingers crossed.
