So some humor, some frustration.
Went to straight cut some few acres of canola where it was too wet when i was swathing. Swithced headers on the combine, drove six miles to the fields.................to find out that my uncle combined it when he was doing some of his wet areas!!!!!
The tire......................frustration.
So never got a call back from the tire store on Thursday, called Friday morning - the tire is "lost in transit and we have a trace on it".
Really?
So considering that the tire was ordered on the 5th of October at what point exactly did they realize that it was "lost"? Maybe it takes such a long time for such an uncommon tire size to be brought in but the communication was lacking I feel.................
My gf, who works as the service manager for a RV dealer said that the "lost in transit" line is what they give to customers when they've screwed up and forgotten to do something, like in this case ordering the tire to start with!
No call yesterday with news either.
Starting to get resigned to the fact that I might have to just take the tire off and to my local dealer and have a patch put on it. It will help with driving in excess of highway sppeds if I go get it out on the road for one more drive. But with snow expected for two consecutive days on the weekend and not sure what the weather will be like after that I need to get the car mobile so I can do its winter oil change and to be able to get it onto the trailer and then into the SeaCan. Plus replacing the fender liner too.
Only going to be a high of +4 today but as long as it is not windy. Some snow fell yesterday but I hope it may have melted by now. Have to pickup my garden hose and put it int he shed now that I think about too!
Yes, incorrectly sized rear tires (diameter wise) apparently can be bad for the diff as it will always be working on one side.............so I understand.
A disappointing experience and end to the driving season for me..................
Cheers,
Garry
