Rear flat, it’s going around.

Arrrggghh.
Got a foot of seat time coming down right now and a flatted out 130. By the looks of the tire, the tube is likely pooched. I will try to pop it out today and have a gander.
Made some calls to about a dozen big tire dealers here in Ontario looking for new 9-24’s.
Not available!!
Best bet right now is a set off a recently wrecked 130. Good price though, 600cdn for the set on rims and hubs. Downside it’s a 14hr drive away.

If only there was a buddy nearby with a barned SuperA waiting on parts. If he was a real buddy, he would lend me a rear wheel.

I know a farmer who uses exclusively old equipment. I mentioned that the tires on my H were badly cracked and I'd picked up a pair of used spares just in case. He told me he fixes his cracked tires with this product:

6" Heavy-Duty Bias Ply Tire Patch

I haven't tried myself but maybe you can chase one up near you.

Easy way to break the beads with available tools.

[CharlieK]

not a good pic and I don't understand how ya broke the bead

[EZ]

CharlieK, make a loop with chain around tire and rim, place base of farm Jack on tire and lift chain loop, the base of the jack will push down on the side of the tire and break the bead. Works well.

MiCarl, I got some big patches. Thanks for the tip.
Hopefully things will hold til I get a replacement.

[EZ]

Holding air so not torn. Will patch and clean the rust off, patch the tire, clean the rust from inside the rim, and hope for the best.

Yogie told me that at his tire shop if they have a rim that's pitted and rough, they'll run several layers of heavy duct tape around it. The tube then isn't rubbing on a rough surface.

[EZ]

Bob, that is a great idea. I’m doing it!

[SamsFarm]

Did you wet your tube down with soapy water, or stick it in a tank or water big enough to get a section completly submersed to look for bubbles?

Your tube dont look like it has much air in it. You want it sort of firm, but not over pressured that it pops!

SamsFarm,
I have not reached that point yet, but when I do I am almost certain there will only be one, maybe 2 small holes to patch. I do have a replacement on order. $110Cdn.
Rims are also available. The one that came off is a 9” rim. The available new one is only 8”. Do you know if the 11.2 tire will fit on that?
So far, with global rubber shortage, tires seem to not available.

[SamsFarm]

I have a super A that someone put 11.2s on, if I remember right one rim is 1" different than the other.

Titan tire makes rims, I am sure they make all widths!

Titan is a major supplier of rims for the new tractors

Found a dealer in Ontario, he sells Petlas tires, so I may try them. I hear a lot of good and bad reviews about Petlas tires. I probably only put 20 to 30 hrs a season pushing snow so doubt I will wear out any tire.

[EZ]

Angle grinder and air hammer took care of the rust. Will paint it up now for new tube.
