Many years ago (late 70s) I went with a friend and his dad to get the 105 JD combine he bought at a sale. Really good lookin 105 that had a low drive tire, more like flat 23.1x26 rice tire. He tried to move it and it broke both beads down on the tire before he stopped. Being close to this guys shop he pulled the air hose out and we started jacking it up till the tires was standing even with the rim. 2 hours later in frustration Donnie got tired of fighting it and got the starting fluid out, And really sprayed a good amount in it. He lit a rag and threw it at the tire. BOOM!!!!! When the dust snow and mud settled things got really ugly! No tire on the 105 and the ladder flipped up and went through the cab doors and it fell off the jack, His truck door that he left open was gone and the 23.1x26 went through the shops sliding door and was laying on top of the owners 55 Chevy he was working on. Nobody was hurt but made one big mess to clean up. I learned a lesson that day..... NEVER use a 1/2 a can of starter fluid on a tire to beed it up!!!! Bandit
