Eastern Washington State
Air powered hydraulic jack and lots of cribbing.

Just a reminder to never trust a jack. Neighbor of mine was having Les Schwab change a tire on his combine this year. As they were cribbing under the axle the hydraulic jack (Les Schwab’s) failed catastrophically. The tire guy, my neighbor, and his grandson were all under the combine to some degree at the time. No one was seriously hurt thank God, but they had only put the last block of cribbing in seconds before. It was a pucker factor 10 situation.
