Spare Tire Carrier

Spare tire carrier TIRES/WHEELS Miscellaneous 17-2-8 "We use one tractor - a Deere 4450 - to haul all our corn and soybeans to town. I designed this spare tire carrier so we would always have a spare tire with us in case one of our wagons got a flat," says Eldon Gabel, Akron, Iowa. The tire carrier is made out of angle iron and 1-in. sq. tubing. To remove the tire, you just loosen two wing nuts at the top and hinge down the front brackets. A small steel box that mounts on the right side of the tractor above the front axle carries wood blocks. The jack, handle and wheel wrench are carried inside the tractor.
