The local farm supply store carries many of those small tire tubes with Slime already installed. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

At this point, I've done three log splitters (mine, plus two more that I sometimes maintain for friends), a wheelbarrow or two, and my snowblower.  Then I put Slime in the tube.  (A side-note on that, if you buy Slime, pay attention because they sell different formulas for tubeless and for tubes.)SOOn Wed, Apr 10, 2019 at 12:48 PM Brian VanDragt <bvandragt at comcast.net> wrote:

    
I have some small tire questions for somebody.  I have several tubeless lawn tractor and lawn tractor implement tires. that always go flat.  I am assuming the beads leak because sometimes on the tractor it won't leak down if the tire is parked in a certain position, but when the valve stem is behind the spindle, it always goes flat, when it is the hardest position to get to.  So I bought some bead sealer, new stems, and a stem puller from Miller Tire and a small tire changer from Harbor Freight to fix these tires.  My question is how do you use the bead sealer and a mounting lubricant at the same time?  Do you lube the tire, install it, remove the lube, apply the sealer, then inflate?BrianOn April 10, 2019 at 11:56 AM Stephen Offiler <soffiler at gmail.com> wrote:  Absolutely.  I built myself just such a tool and use it everywhere there's a tube being installed, including wheelbarrow and small trailer tires, motorcycle tires, etc.  Mine is based on an old valve core and a piece of bicycle brake cable.SOOn Wed, Apr 10, 2019 at 11:31 AM James Peck < jamesgpeck at hotmail.com> wrote: One key tool was the device to pull the tire tube valve through the hole.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TbPJvtfY6k   Here is a YouTube of mounting a tire on a rim.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rCvy6rbAog   [James Peck] What tire tools do you use and can you advise as to where you got them.   [Cecil Bearden] In my case, I mount my own tires and it takes me a day to mount 2 tires with fluid in them because of my disabilities.  However, If I had them mounted, it would be nearly $500, so I think I made a pretty good day's pay.  Due to the difficulty or expense of mounting tires, I will only buy new when replacing tires.   Do it once and forget it....   As I said before, stay away from SPEEDWAY tires...They do not fit.. I spent over $250 in tubes and lost over $200 in alcohol fluid due to these tires...  _______________________________________________  AT mailing list  AT at lists.antique-tractor.com  http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com _______________________________________________ AT mailing list AT at lists.antique-tractor.com http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com
