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

[Larry D. Goss]

And use some spray-on tire black on it after it's re-inflated.  I chose
to do that rather than to replace the rear tires on a nearly 60-year-old
tractor when I was restoring it last year.  The tire black seemed to do
a decent job of reconditioning the surface of the rubber and it hides
most of the cracks.

Just put a tube in it.  $7 or so.

I just picked up a freebie lawn tractor and got it going but the tires
have
some dry rot and leak down over a half hour or so.  I have used the
green
slime in other tires before, but they now want like $7 a bottle for it.
Is
there anything else people have used that is inexpensive and a more or
less
a common household item?
