[AT] Ripped tire, now what?

[John Wilkens]

Will, this may not be what you're after, but my neighbor has an old JD D 
that suffered an 8" gash in the side wall.  He took the tire off, cut a 
large section from an old tractor tire and bolted it through some drilled 
holes with a bunch of carriage bolts.  That was 15 years ago and it's still 
going strong!  (Not a show tractor though!)   John
