Pasquali 945 mini tractor popped tyre repair, can it be fixed?

Hi Folks and thanks for joining me again as I do some maintenance on our family tractor, the old work horse.
It’s a Pasquali 945, 18 horse power, single piston diesel from the early sixties we think.
Pasquali is an Italian tractor maker and this model was made under licence in Spain, similar situation as the Land Rover Santana.
Anyway the tyres are really old, at least 25 years and this one has finally popped.
As the grass it getting long its time to get this tractor back on the road (or field) so we can do some well needed rotavating.
It takes a bit of muscle work but it was an enjoyable bit of maintenance that I hope you enjoy watching
Thanks again

That is such a cool old tractor!!! I have an old Oliver that I need to get running as well. I have never seen a Pasquali though. Really cool name for an awesome tractor.

Yeah you are right it’s a cool tractor, and a cool name, we chuck an “Ito” on the end too as its the smallest of the range so its a Pasqualito to us, I just wish sometimes it had hydraulic steering…
It’s in reasonable working order but there will be a few more videos to come just keeping on top of the maintenance and getting into the workings of it as well as the rotavator for the back, small tipping trailer and 5 prong cultivator, all of which need regular attention.
Its a key bit of kit in the upkeep of our finca rustica.
I am amazed how old mechanical machines such as this just keep going if they get TLC, no electrics to worry about, no diagnostics, a simple machine from a simpler time…
I am going to spend the rest of the afternoon googling Oliver tractors now…
Thanks for watching..

you were fortunate to be able to get a matching tire, or at least very close in tread.

To be fair there are still a good few of these tractors in circulation round these parts, kind of a testament to the build quality really.
Tyres and a few more basic spares are readily available all be it a few days wait, probs cos we are on an island.
It would be more challenging to find a spare for any of the steel or cast iron parts should they break but so far the local mechanic has sourced what I needed every time.
He has a Chinese built mini tractor in his shop, dont recall the make but the water pump has been on order for 3 months.
Put me right off changing to something more modern.

Per non fare lavorare male la chiave si potrebbe sfruttare il cavalletto o il crik da mettere come contrasto sotto la prolunga della chiave al punto più vicino al tubo,

Mi piace il tuo punto. E solo che mi piace troppo la mía chiave a tubo. 😜
