<p>This used to be very common...even as recently as the past 20
years...my dad managed to skewer a nearly-new, heavyweight 38"
tire on an Allis 8030 with a deer antler in the sidewall, and had
such a repair done. As far as I know, the neighbor who bought the
tractor is still running on that tire. The service call wasn't
cheap but it beat the heck out of $500 for a new tire plus labor
to remove & replace liquid ballast!</p>
<p>Fun Note: In their last years on the farm, my folks sold off the
cattle and put part of the farm in trees while cropping the
rest...within a couple of years after the herd was gone, it was
"replaced" by a herd of 20+ whitetail deer who used to browse in
the cornfield within sight of their front porch. They seemed to
thrive on corn stubble.<br>

I ran over a yaupon stump and knocked a large hole in the

could not tell that tire was ever damaged. Vulcanized it.
They repaired a lot of tires that way.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Seems I'm always out of both and
money too.
<div>Working on a few tires at the moment for a
garden trailer and a garden tractor. I only
"work" a couple of my tractors these days and
those not very hard. Still, they operate
better with air in the tires. :-)</div>
<div>I keep buying cheap tires at auctions but I
have avoided auctions this year and most
regular auctions have been canceled. Many of
those tires have a bad spot or two but I can
deal with those pretty well. The problem is
that so many of these old tires are just kind
of weak all over. Tire liners can extend them
for puttering but those liners are pretty
pricey and prone to shifting and tube
chaffing.</div>
<div>I keep looking for answers in a permanently
flexible near super adhesive (not something
hard that can break) and some kind of high
strength woven material that is thin but
strong. Very strong. I basically have the
adhesive, It is the most heavily used adhesive
in the shoe repair industry around the world.
I used it daily for over 20 years. Extremely
flexible, extremely strong. I found it ultra
useful in tire repairing since it is far
superior to anything that was available to me
through tire repair supply vendors. It bonds
well to about anything except plastics. Fully
water proof. </div>
<div>That material is commonly referred to in
the trades as "All Purpose Cement (cement,
never "glue"). I used to always buy it by the
gallon. Note too that proper preparation of
all surfaces is paramount including priming of
dry surfaces.</div>

<div>As a support material I have wondered about
several different ones. The adhesive above
works pretty well on woven materials including
synthetics as long as it is a fairly fine
weave. Not something like chicken wire. :-)</div>
<div>Coarse canvas might be OK but maybe too
weak unless laminated several ply's deep. I
have considered something more like Kevlar or
woven carbon fiber (and I have noted that
their cost has come down some) but I don't
know much about them. Kind of a big hole in my
knowledge base...</div>

</div>
<div>On a side note on tire repair one of the
required items in in my tool kit for tires is
a very large container of very cheap talcum
powder... You don't want your inner tube to be
sticking to your tire repairs. :-)</div>
<div>Side, side note: As a teen (1950's) I
showed a lot of pure-bred Yorkshire hogs
(white for those not familiar) and used about
a ton of cheap Apple Blossom talcum powder on
them. They smelled pretty nice for pigs. :-)</div>
<div>After raising all of those Yorkshire hogs I
found it interesting when I got deeply into
genealogy later to find that while my early
paternal ancestors were Norse Vikings who
migrated to the Scottish Highlands as Clan
Gunn, very many of my paternal ancestors came
here in the 1600's from Yorkshire in Northern
England.</div>
