'''Fixing Tractor'''
*Went with Graham to get lug nuts for new tire coupler. Found out that the wheel itself was likely to break soon, so we went to the local scrap yard for a different wheel. Found said wheel (or so we thought) and brought it to D-Tone to get the tire changed from the old to new wheel. They obliged, but then realized that the two wheels were actually slightly different (a difference they missed themselves) so that the new one would not be able to work. Service was free of charge they said they should have seen the problem beforehand and not done the switch to begin with. Ended up going back to consult at car part place and upon deliberation, decided to make a new plate for the wheel before buying lug nuts. This however changed on the 10th when it was decided to just buy another tire at a different local scrap yard.
