hit a pipe of some kind repairable and how? 17.5l-24 r4 its got a inner tube what size inner tube or type im new at this tips advice .......
Is it through the tire ? I can see some severed cords. That'll weaken the tire.
inner tube bulging out but still holding air farm use and i didnt find the offending hole maker out there went back n forth a few times to find no luck
Gemplers and SC Farm Bureau both sell tire reliners that will take care of that. If the tube is bulging out, it's not long for this world.
Ag Tire Repair - Off-the-road Tube Type Bias-ply 5-3/8" x 5-3/8" ? are all tubes you buy have the stem in the right spot 16.9/17.5L-24 Radial Tube TR-218
Hard to tell in the pictures but it looks like the tire is worn down a bit, might be worth replacing rather than spending money on a repair. If you end up replacing it you might consider moving up to a 10 ply tire, it's amazing how much more stable it makes the tractor feel.
Yair . . . I have a selection of stick in tyre patches and a special glue. Need to rough op inside tyre with a power sander but it's a pretty simple job . . . I get plenty of practice. Cheers.
"Tube bulging out " This isn't what you want to hear ... Replace the tire. That spot is just an entrance for dirt and water to get in. Murphy's law says When you need to use the machine or in the middle of a job, the tire will go flat. Better replace it at your timing rather than letting it decide for you. It won't be convenient or less costly if it decides.
yup all way thru
That's a shame there was still some good tread left on that tire. May sell the other one and buy a new pair of 12 ply tires for the back. Unless there's a tire repair shop that can vulcanize a boot into that one and put a tube in but there's not a lot of substance to an 8 ply tire.
Yair . . . Dunno. If you are running on the highway roading fast from job to job that may be an issue but that is just a hole in a tyre for goodness sake, poking about on a farm its not a problem with stick in sleeves . . . must run tubes of course. Cheers.
righto y brother relinere on order
Yair . . . bobbyblades Gotcha mate was just saying . . . it would be a shame to waste that tyre. I have four or five of the largest stick ins probably well over a foot square in one of my new tyres. I just jack the tractor and pop the beads with the wheel in place to fix them. Cheers.
i may be stupid but i'm not dumb coming along nicely right tool and it goes easy how do i get the tube to sit and air up inside nicely , before or after bead is on .. what gets done first , give me a step by step please will that reliner shift during the in flate , its a 20x30 so its not exact shape of tire i scrubbed the rust of the rim and wiped it with oil or do i degrease and leave dry //talc?
I'm not an expert on this subject, but I've done a fair few so here goes. Other opinions may vary. First, if your wheel is rusty in the bead area I would take the time to clean it up and paint it with some zinc paint or similar. The only thing I would check with your repair is to make sure it's not sticky. Dust it with talc. Push the tube in and push the valve stem through the hole. If it has a nut to secure it, put it on. If not, grip it gently with vise grips to stop it slipping inside. Next, put a little bit of air into the tube, just enough so it's no longer flat. (new tube, right?) You need just enough air to stop the tube getting pinched between the bead and the wheel. If you need any lube to fit the tyre, don't use oil. Use some liquid soap.
Its easier with the rim on the tractor. slip on first bead, sprinkle in baby powder and rub some on tube. put a little air in tube so it has round shape, stuff into tire. pull valve stem through rim and secure with valve tool or vice grips. and slip second bead over without pinching tube. WITHOUT PINCHING THE TUBE! Air up, let air back out, than air up again to correct psi. Have lunch and get to work. You got there first Cmark. ha
I had a similar cut on my JD 410, I'll post my solution for others who might come across this thread. My tire had even more tread on it than yours so I was pretty intent on saving it. I took it to the tire shop that handles commercial tires, they sent it out and had a hot patch installed inside and somehow "welded" the cut on the outside. The tire lasted until I sold the machine.
Soap the bead of the tire real well to get it back over the rim and do it 1" ( or in small steps at a time ) with a couple pinch bars.
