    _AWESOME!_ Thanks Steve. My lawn tractor had 1 tire that was completly flat this morning, and wouldn't keep any air in because it had separated from the rim. I was so bummed out until I found this video. This worked in like 1 minute. Thank you!

  • @davidharrison6814
    @davidharrison6814 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Steve, your videos are always extremely helpful. Here's a tip I discovered...
    The front tires on my Kubota compact tractor would go flat after about a week and I found that air was escaping around the rim. Twice, I took care to ensure the rims were clean of all grease, dirt, etc., and inflated properly but still leaked. Not wanting to spend $30 + for bead sealant, I sprayed some CRC belt conditioner on the outer edge of the tires and have held air for six months now. This also worked on my trailer spare.

    Thanks for the advice on the new tire. I have used that method for a long time. I also put a small bead of grease around the rim to make the tire grip the rim a bit better. It works for me.

  • @breeze787
    @breeze787 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I had a wheel barrow wheel that was leaking air around the rim. It would go flat in about 3 minutes. I cleaned up the area around the rim of the wheel that was cRusty and attempted to put the tire back on. The temperatures dropped over here and the bead did not want to seat being so ridged from the cold. So I used fire and that worked beautifully except I couldn't get the air into the tire soon enough so the bead would back off becuz the air would contract and broke the seal once again. But I also noticed the tire was pretty warm and malleable. So I wondered and went back to using your method using a rachet strap instead of rope and to my delight it sealed it well enough for me to put air into it and confetti was flying everywhere. (meaning I was successful and actually this whole scenario just played out just last night)
    I've actually been using your method for decades. It's very very handy. Thanks for putting this up!

    I rarely ever comment on videos, but i have to say thank you to Steve, worked like a charm in no time. The tire I used was so disformed and nothing but round and with the pump running, simultaneously rotate the tire and push the middle tread in with my thumbs, it filled right up. Thanks again Steve! And all the people making bad comments, probably dont know what side of the screwdriver to use anyway. Dont listen to them hoss. Great video.

    Thanks Steve ! And that method works well on car tires as well,as I found out just now when I dragged my car out of a snowbank, sideways, and popped the inside of one tire bead off. [ The back side of mag wheels often don't have a very secure seat on the tire at the best of times.] I used your rope method and it worked awesome ! !

    Man, you saved me again. Your channel is gold. The tire on my riding mower went flat and the bead was unseated from one side. I attached ratchet straps to the edge that was unseated with some tension and BAM it allowed the bead to be seated. Now I can mow while I wait for the replacement tire to come in.

    I used a ratchet strap and your technique worked great on a tire that had gone flat enough to break the beads. The tire was on a push leaf blower only used for a few weeks each fall. I was prepping it for the upcoming season. Unfortunately, I learned why the tire went so flat- a small split in the tread. Oh well, learning was achieved! Thank you. Your videos are well done.

    Great videos Steve! What a pain it is to remove and replace tires. I would add that sometimes it helps to remove the valve stem needle to initially seat the bead, I even use a simple blow gun with a rubber nozzle on the valve stem to get the pressure needed. Once it seats add the needle valve back in and inflate. Good luck guys!

Which were not buckled is another think to check 👍
