JAinVA 4,638 #1 Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Yesterday I took advantage of the nice weather and started to mow along the road frontage.The 416-8 kept pulling to the left as the tire was going flat.Pulled the wheel and pop the bead.Bad valve stem.Probably original.Go the spares box and get a new one.Up and running and I didn't leave the property.Today putz around on the 312a custom with less than 2 hours and the left front is flat.New good quality tube but failure at the stem area.Back to the spares box and up again in a matter of a few hours.Six ply tires are hard to deal with.I didn't have to go out to get parts.Best bulk buy of 25 in a while.
