Thread: Changing a flat with no jack.

Many moons ago in dads Holden ute I got a flat front tyre. With no jack on board, and the girlfriend on a curfew,, I was well and truely up the creek. Along comes half the Wagga footy team in party mode, they lifted the car up, I changed the wheel,,,,
Still got my arse kicked for being late

Ref; Yesterday's Tractors - Tractor Pictures - - - Tractors in Trouble

I found a lump of wood that I could jamb under the front axle then drove forward rolling the wood up to prop up the axle.

Case IH MX100c tyre trouble, staked it on a stump working in the dark after my helper couldn't arrive on time to give me a lift me back to my place.

Articulation doesn't mean you have traction. That's where your ediff and traction control can get you places the old Defenders can only get with lots of body roll wheel spin and sweaty drivers.

Correctly balanced fr-rear articulation gives stability in situations where vehicles with restricted articulation can fall over, regardless of their traction aids. Correctly balanced articulation plus traction aids blows away the competition.
