How To Repair A Tractor Tire Tube

hoping this is an easy ane for those in the know!!

We take a 13.6-28 rear tire on our IH B414. Information technology is calcium filled and goes flat. seems to leak in/around the valve. These are not quite the aforementioned equally a car tire valve. How do we supercede the valve? will all the liquid and calcium spew out when we remove the valve?

shouldn't I just exist able to air this back up? how hard is information technology to repair tractor flats? can I plug information technology? I'k guessing tractor/tire shop would exist very pricey to gear up a flat.

The rear tires on my JD 820 are calcium loaded. I've had leaks repaired twice. Once it required a new tube and the other time information technology was a new valve stem. IMHO, you don't want to mess with this job unless you have the right equipment and know-how. If the tires are loaded with calcium, then at that place should exist tubes, because I've never heard of tubeless calcium loaded tires, as the calcium will corrode the unprotected rims.

My suggestion would be to phone call a reliable ag/commercial tire service and take the tire professionally repaired. It's going to cost you, just in the long run information technology will salvage you a lot of fourth dimension and trouble.

**ALAS*** SIGH**** I phoned around before I read your reply and yous are correct. Sounds like my tube is torn and calcium is seeping past and leaking out valve. And it ain't cheap to fix either. so we'll see what it's like to remove and put on a trailer.

I have had 1 of each. The valve core leaking is an like shooting fish in a barrel ready. Position the valve stem at the 12 o'clock position on level ground and jack upwardly that wheel. This will take the pressure off the tire. Let the air out and carefully replace the core making certain to have a house concur on the base of operations of the valve itself when y'all remove the old one and tighten the new one. The rule of thumb for air pressure told to me by a tire mechanic is .5 lb. for every inch of diameter of your tire. If it is leaking around the valve stem then have a good tire shop do it as outlined in previous posts. Information technology is not inexpensive simply is a necessary repair.

wash and make clean the rim out too.. if bare metal.. repaint before putting back together. i similar epoxy paint on the inside of rims that use tubes and ballast.

That is why later on several repair jobs I decided to do information technology myself. When someone is there to fix your tire you lot don't have a run a risk to clean and pigment and bang dings out of the rim.
Well, that plus the toll.

mobile repair call out is $100 plus the other fees (about some other $100).

The tire shop told me they'd break the bead and look at the tube to see if it could be repaired. How can they do that when information technology'due south nevertheless on the tractor?

my son teflon taped the valve (or probably the valve stalk threads the cap goes over??) and now it seems to hold air. Only I still recollect the torn tube with liquid seeping by makes sense. the teflon is probably but helping go along it all in.

$250 was most the average for me for getting the tube patched. Whatsoever take chances you ran over a blast?
