[AT] Tire Repair

[Thomas Mehrkam]

Another option is avaliable if you live in a community that has a shop that recapps truck tires. They can vulcanise a patch on that spot and it will be as good as new. I had this done about 20 years ago on a tire for my Farmall H. I has run a stump through the tire. It is still as good as new. A lot better than bolting in a boot.
   
  Shops that did this type of work use to be fairly common in any large city. Who knows what the situation is today.

  When I had a similar problem a number of years ago, Farmer recommended that 
I head to Wal-Mart and buy a tube of Shoe Goo for the repair. It worked, 
and the price was right. That was around ten years ago. I finally replaced 
them last year with new ones, but some of the old Shoe Goo was still in 
place.
