That's good news about the tractor being fixed Dave! Where did you find that plastic fixing kit and the stainless mesh?

Never heard of that here yet having to have trailer tire on trailer. Is that because of inspection Dave, that it’s that way ?

Yes with the annual safety required for all trailers of more 1 axle must have working brakes and must appropriate specifically designed tires for the application , ie trailer tires for a trailer that suit the load rating of trailer .
This is what happens when you give a lic. out to people without have them pass a common sense test . Government has to Cidiot proof it all.

I started to go on a rant, but decided I probably shouldn’t! Thankfully we don’t have that here yet. We can still get a “forever trailer plate” and no inspections. The kind of goofy thing here is the year of your vehicle. If I want to get our project truck licensed now it’s only good for 1 year because it’s a 1961 and this is 2022. If I wait till 2023 I can get it licensed for 2 years because there both an odd year. Had it been a 1960 I would have to get it licensed in an even year for 2 year tags. Figure that one out!

I’m glad you were able to improvise a repair and the tractor is good to go. They should have a good tractor for a long time now!

I had wanted to add another axle to my trailer for the longest time but I definitely don't want to deal with the safety every year
