Often in the world of heavy equipment the tires are worth as much or significantly more than the machine is. Combine that with a use scenario that has you deep in that Amazon jungle or someplace else without tire shops for hundreds of miles and you learn to make do.
Since it's holding air, it seems to not be a problem right now, and the acceptable course of action is to keep hauling whatever it is that keeps your family fed.

That tire pic was at Clark Air Force base. At another location on base I noticed 6 to 8 sets of broken Huey rotor bladed. I asked how that happened and they said they finally had to “break them” so they would be taken out of service. The blades were 100s of hours over there allowed flight time.

Likely water or water/methanol injection.

Looks like it’s hot there. Cools the intake charge, reduces pre-ignition.

It’s the multiple fuel filters that got me.

See the fuel line solenoid on the firewall, I'm thinking it’s a propane dual fuel?
