I posted here about a week or so ago (can"t find it now) about a "temporary" fix to get a rear tractor tire to hold air long enough to get it home. The valve-stem to tube connection was bad and air came out almost as fast as it went in. Someone suggested spray foam insulation. While looking for the foam I noticed some marine "goop" adhesive. I put some "goop" around the valve stem/tube joint (the rim is completely gone there) and then sprayed foam around it the following day. Still leaked but not as bad but couldn"t get much air into it out in the field. Pulled it up to the guy"s garage and filled the tire with a compressor. "Over filled" it a bit and it looked like it was holding ok so we started to tow it the 5 miles to my place. 2 days later and its still full of air! thanks

In the words of the famous Red Green, "never ever do this-----unless it works." I used to have a huge problem with tube failures on my Steiger tractors with radial tires. Tire squirm would wreck several tubes per year on these rigs with 8 tires each. I discovered that you could convert the valve stem of a busted tube to tubeless by removing the stem retaining nut and putting a good thick bead of silicone rubber around the stem and screw the nut back on. Let it set an hour or two and pump it full of air. I used some for several years that way,untill all the tubes were removed and bolt in tubeless stems installed. This along with a gallon or more of tire sealer in each tire has about eliminated any tire problems.
