was out riding in the field, about 12-14 in of snow on the ground...had a good powerslide going and boom, the back right tire catches a rock... well it just comes to a stop... look down, i sheared my back right tire off... this is the "oops". well after a look u could tell the hub just shattered completely...im guessin the cold weather did it in... the shock plus the 5* temps lately... had to drive it a couple miles on 3 wheels... good stuff [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Glad your ok [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

That sucks to hear, but like he said, good that you are ok!

 

I would have paid money to see you boogyin down the road with only 3 tires,

Chock that up to things you don't see every day

 

Thats bad news and I'm really sorry but:
LMAO!! Like I said, I do not mean this meanly. But it is one of those things that one can just picture....

 

I was on my old Bolens lawn tractor one time and turned the throttle up all the way on "rabbit", put it in 3rd gear, and popped the clutch. I heard a loud snap and my right rear tire just rolled by me. I was like WTF!!?? I sheared the axel right off!!! Put it back in the shed and told the old man that there was "something wrong with the tractor" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Aw com'on Gopher500. Admit it, you just miss the old three wheelers LOL. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I am glad you're ok.

well the tire never rolled by me...i just wasnt movin, look down and its cocked at a 60* angle..."that aint right"...

and trust me, plenty of ppl got to enjoy the site of me going down the road on 3 wheels...in a 1/4 mile mustve passed at least 5 cars...my luck

3 wheelers are better when the 1 wheel is centered... i had a fun time keepin the front wheel down

 

The wheel's fallen off of our garden tractor twice, but just because the bolts fell out. Sears says they dont know why, but the second time I wasnt as stupid, I loaded those mothers with locktite [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] . I pity the guy who has to get the wheel off to change a tire.
