    case 590 sl tires?

    thanks for the response mb but i think liquid filled tires use a two part tube with one part for water and the other for air regardless, let me ask this another way is it normal to have liquid filled rear tires on a backhoe of the 580-590, 310-410 size? or are they typically just filled with air?

    Larry is spot on the money here the nut is about 1 1/16 inch (actually something metric) and you only want to back it off 1 turn and no more attach a come-along between the sprocket and the front idler using them nice round holes to get it to a released position then use a steel bar to slide...
