Flat front tire on '57 Ford 860

botemout · Jul 25, 2009

I hope this isn't too completely mundane to post here but, naturally, I need to be using this tractor tomorrow early and one of the front tires is flat. I have a compressor and I'm thinking of getting some of that automotive flat fix (rubbery stuff in a can that seals punctures). Will this work for tractor tires (only hast to last for a day)? Or might mine have tubes (and, perhaps, this stuff will even work with tubes)?

thanks

I bet you have tubes...
BUT you can get that stuff for tubeless and for tubes.
Check in the bicycle section at walmart. The worst that can happen is it will still leak. So you will then have to remove it and have the tube patched.
try it.. KennyV

if you have tubes.. you will most likely have to break the tire down to fix the leak unless it is very minor... I've not had good luck with slime for tubes.. etc.
