Hi. Went to use tractor, and found it leaning to one side. front tire flat... leak from rubber valve stem... I have two main questions: is this likely to be a standard automotive valve stem, or would it use a larger diameter hole at the rim? It's an 8 ply tire, does anyone know if a standard automotive/pickup truck tire machine can break the bead just enough for me to install a new valve stem?
It's not critical I get this fixed before monday, but any suggestions on where I can get a valve stem if they are larger than the automotive size? I will certainly pay more for quality as I don't want this to happen again for another 20 years. Yes I will replace the other one, but may not do both at the same time, unless I have to take to an equipment shop. I apologize for not doing any research on this, but I figured I could post this, and hope for a reply, while I do my homework. Thank you. Hope everyone is doing well
