[AT] Any old farmer tricks for fixing tire leaks?

[pga2 at hot1.net]

Some time back (more than 5 years) I had a slow leak in a tractor tire.
I bought a gallon of Berrymans Tire Sealer and used that in the front
tire to stop the slow leak. Worked great! I don't remember what it cost,
but it was cheaper than a new tube and the installation. Since then I've
used more of the same gallon on a couple of riding mower tires. Still have
about a half gallon left.

>I've heard that a couple of coats of latex paint on the inside of a tubeless
tire will get you by for a little while...  The last time I was in this
position, I put tubes in.  You may have to find a good old fashioned tire
shop to find them as cheap as Jim did.  TSC has tubes, but they're a little
spendy IMHO.
