B3030 Flat tire

Nik · Aug 18, 2008

Need to remove the front tire of my 20 hr B3030. Does anyone know the size of the lugnut for the front tire?

The tractor is at my brother"s place. He was brushogging with it and got a 1/2" large sliver of wood (I think from a small tree stump) imbedded on the tread portion of this turf tire. The tire is now nearly flat. I plan on stopping there in the AM, will remove the tire, and drop it off at a tire service center on my way to work. I suppose this can be repaired. The puncture site is in the groove btwn the treads.

Sorry don't know lugnut size, but I plugged the front tire on my 2710 not long after I got it, held up so far. Even if it leaks slow it would still allow you to use it or get it home. I bought one of those patch kits that's a step up from the Ronco patch kits you find at WallyWorld. I think I got it at a truck style NAPA, it has some pretty big plugs.

Thank you all for your quick replies and help. The tractor will be at my brother"s place for the next 2 weeks so I am not in a rush about transporting it home. My main object is to fix it so we can continue to use it as our work schedules allow.

Fixed the flat! The wood penetrated like a stake. the tire could not just be patched from the inside as the hole was too big. The tire place ordered a 14" inner tube and now thw tire is good as new.
