Put the jack on a bit of railway sleeper or two, we have a 12ton jack from machine mart, it lifts anything we need.
+1 on that - it weighs just short of 3 tonnes - so something bigger than that to lift it - and make sure its set down hard on some sleepers before removing wheels. Don't be doing it off a jack. Its a 2 person job to handle the wheels as well if you want to do it safely. These rims look fine - just need some tlc. Remove the air pressure and knock the edges back with a curved chisel and BFH. If you were feeling like a workout you could remove the tyres and tubes and heat the rim edge until red before knocking the dents out.

The tyres are tubed - so the rim is just to hold the tyre bead in place and not provide an air tight seal like tubeless tyres. Should only be about 16psi in the rear tyres as well - so theres not a huge force against the rim.

If you do decide to replace the rear rims - then i would be interested in buying your old ones for my 272.

I think it is, it’s got a few more scapes and dings but defiantly the tractor. The auction is not far from me and there can’t be many in the highlands. Feel pretty good about what I paid for it now knowing what the classic tractor market is like. How did you find out it was sold there?

I always go to the Dingwall sales and remember one being sold there in fact it was the dealer guy that trades as moray tractors just outside Elgin that had it in the sale I was talking to him at the sale and he said it was his. I had a look through all the archives of the Dingwall sales and spotted it earlier tonight. Yeh they are going up in value this last while definitely won’t go wrong owing it.👍

I know that guy I bought a topper from him in the summer! I keep saying I’m going to go to the auction but with everything going on the last couple of years haven’t got round to it. I always check the catalogues though just in case something interesting comes up.

looks as though it sucks air in from the cab, through the filter and back out to remove dust particles?
That’s what I thought, I’m assuming it was an option to the standard switch panel can’t say I’ve seen another one on a tractor although pictures are hard to come by.
