[AT] Tire rim sealant

[charlie hill]

I'm well aware of that Larry.  I was suggesting it as an alternative.
Sorry I wasn't more clear.

FWIW, Slime and foam are completely different from each other.

I think Tractor Supply has those Slime brand tubes also.
My friends in the rental equipment business have ALL of their
off road equipment tires filled with foam.  No matter if it's a
wheel barrel or a rubber tired back hoe.   Saves them a lot of
money and service calls.  There is probably a local tire shop that
can foam them for you if that interests you.

I had a couple of tires on a Honda riding mower that had slow leaks. I
found that they best solution was a tube that I got from the local
Lowe's store. They came with "Slime" inside the tubes. Slime works well
for punctures, but I have not had good luck with it sealing beads. The
tubes I bought were for my larger tires, but Lowe's had a range of sizes
available.

If you have a couple of tire irons or even large screwdrivers, putting
tubes in those small tires isn't difficult. Of course, you have to
remove the old tubeless valves - I use a Vise-Grips pliers for doing that.

Also note that you can probably use tubes that are undersize in your
tiller's tires - for that kind of use it won't be a problem. (You
wouldn't want to use undersize tubes in a car or truck, but in a tiller
is a completely different story).

I can't help you with sourcing the tines.
