Joplin is where we went, don't know if thats close or not.

Yeah that's fairly close. Did you buy it with the 5.9 still in it? I stopped and looked at it about a month ago. It was a little too rough for me. Hopefully you can bring it back to life. It's an awesome truck with a lot of potential!

Yeah, got it with the 12v and trans in it. I was actually rather impressed at what good shape it was in. Just a little rust on the top of the cab, a few other small spots, very good shape for the year compared to others I've seen.

Made it 30 miles before blowing out the first trailer tire then another 11 before the second and getting to the closest shop and having to put on all 14 plys to make the 3 hours home. We didn't think the tractor was near as heavy as it was.

What brand of tires did you put on?

I think 4 gladiator tires and 4 are something else they didn't have a matched set of 8. Couldn't get down the road w/o them. They are 14 ply 100 psi tires though

Gladiators should be 125 psi. If i remember correctly q35s are steel belted and q25s are not.
The non belted ones tend to start losing large chunks of rubber. Something to keep an eye on.

Nice tractor BTW

I will be sure to check which ones they are and keep any eye on them. They should more than handle anything on the back of the GN though.

I would guess that tractor was 16k lbs minimum. H#ll of a nice tractor. I assume the blown tires didn't wrap around the axle.
