Often the factory jack won't fit under the axle when the tire is completely flat, and if you put it under the leaf spring or anywhere else then it won't get it up high enough to get the spare on. Last flat we had out on the road (with our Jeep) I had to turn around and park right on the edge of the gravel road and dig a hole out under the tire with the folding shovel. I found an old Chevy screw jack from something and threw it in there too after that.


Anyway, today I went over and got a neighbor's tractor to rebuild the driveway easement through our land that goes to their son's place. It was all rutted and saucered out so I pulled the edges in to start to get it crowned. Had to quit when the sun got too low and I couldn't see looking right into it. I'll smooth it out more tomorrow but at least it's starting to resemble a road instead of a ditch.
