I would be willing to bet those tubes on the tractor tire still has the original air in them.
What makes a tube pop is the rubber can not hold the pressure inside the tube to the relation of the pressure on the outside of the tube. Lets say you fill a tube to 50 lbs inside the tube and the outside pressure is 14 lbs of our atmosphere. The tube stretches and then blows because it can not hold the outward force. But if we increase the outside force on the tube to 50 lbs it would be like the tube had 14 psi in it IE equal on inside and outside.
So the tubes on these tractors have 6000 psi of air pressure in them but the tube does not feel it because the water pressure from all sides pushing in is 6000 psi also. As long as we keep the inside pressure the same as the outside pressure the tube will hold the air just in a lot smaller space as you compress the air inside. That is until the tube rots away.
What makes something implode or explode for that matter is the structure can not hold the pressure difference from inside to outside. As long as the pressure on the inside stays the same as the outside no implosion or explosion can happen.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
