    Back wheel flat as a pancake on tractor. Don't fancy trying to take it off.

    Anyone know of a lad doing mobile puncture repair in Ballinasloe/surrounding area?

    No. I meant l didn't feel like taking the wheel off, putting it in the trailer and bringing it off to get fixed.

    Anyways l rqng home at lunchtime and there must be pigs flying as the oul lad had got it fixed! A local lad had come out. Didn't think they offered a mobile service but he must have plamaused him!!

    Thanks to everyone who pm'd me with contact details. Will be handy for again.

    We bought a box of the plugs for tubeless tyres. Saved a fortune. No good if you can't get it back to the yard though.

    Wedged axel with swinging draw bar, drove to local garage, took off tyre. Used sledge and anvil to straighten. I didn't want to use gas, perfect since.

    Phone, struck eye of gate. Tractor only 5 mts old. Very lucky didn't touch tyre. Amazing thing is it was I who welded the eye and it didn't break
