DBlackston 298 #1 Posted November 19, 2019 I've never had to buy a tube for a tire, but I think its about time. Aired up my tub cart tire today and it only stayed up for about 12 hours. Where do you guys get your tunes at? I need some for my front tires on the 854, and my tub cart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herder 2,355 #4 Posted November 19, 2019 Tubes are repairable. It could be as simple as changing the valve insert. Soapy water will help to determine if it the valve is leaking. You can dismount the tire and repair/patch the tube and reinstall it. This is assuming your tires are already tubed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,177 #5 Posted November 19, 2019 At the first hint of a leak on a tubeless I put a tube in In my other life - "BR" - (before retirement) I was ground equip mechanic for Delta Air and had some 20 baggage carts that had 5.70x8 tires. didnt take long to realize that using 5.70 tubes was causing problems with the tubes getting 'folds' in them when inflated and would get a leak at the fold. I started using the smaller 4.10x8's because they were smaller and figured they wouldnt 'fold'. ----- and they didnt!! Stopped that problem .... course that didnt stop the flats, amazing what the tires would pick up on the ramps - and wear out!! So, I still will use a one size smaller tube when I add one to a tractor. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 7,858 #6 Posted November 19, 2019 My wooded area has locust and other thorns, the last tire I replaced had 14 plugs. Can you imagine pulling and patching a tube 14 times? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tunahead72 2,554 #7 Posted November 20, 2019 Not really, but it does beat buying 14 new tubes. For the record, I've had better luck with Carlisle tubes than any other brands I've tried. I like Firestone generally too, but I don't know if they have sizes to fit our tractors and attachments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DBlackston 298 #8 Posted November 21, 2019 I don't have any thorned trees around anymore. I think I will try tubing them. We have a Tractor Supply 2 miles away so I may try there per the suggestions. I have a stack of tubes out of some old tires too, might try filling them up and holding them in a bucket to see if they leak. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
