Re: Farmersammm's Tire Repair
For joining belting they are great the widest belts I have on the big sawmill are ~6inches but I use this type of joiners:
These would work though as long as the pulleys were big enough diameter:

on a tire thats not falling apart from dry rot those would work, but that tire has no stable rubber left to grab onto, you would end up just ripping what you bolted to...

I've seen worse fixed like this, just larger patches across the split. Tractor tires are tough. Even dry rotted split ones. These are a minimum of 6 ply to start, possibly more. Ideal fix? No. Doable? Yes. If it gives another couple years it'll be worth it. If it is on grass or light service, who knows how long. I've seen tires survive like this for a decade.

Re: Farmersammm's Tire Repair
There have been several posts on this thread, but have not seen anymore by Samm since he started the thread? I hope he is okay, maybe he is just busier then a one legged man in a butt kicking contest trying out all the methods of repair you have all mentioned

Re: Farmersammm's Tire Repair
A light tractor carrying no loads . could maybe run around on those tires for a while. But add a trailer
with a load and those cracks inside will keep nipping the tube. Iv'e seen fairly decent tires with hardly even noticeable
cracks having to be changed for that reason

Re: Farmersammm's Tire Repair
Find a bigger old inner tube, slice the inside section off where it meets the rim, glue it to the inside of the tire, coat with baby powder to sop up the excess glue that seeps out along the beads, and slap it back together. OR spray the inside with some rocker guard where the big cracks are. Or glue a couple pieces of used baler belt inside.

Re: Farmersammm's Tire Repair
Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!
So far, the exterior patch has kept the innertube from getting punctured. Still haven't got a line on a replacement tire that's affordable, AND NOT A CHEAPO WITH LESS LUGS THAN A GOOD TIRE. (Lot of the cheaper tires have lower lug count, which means that it either rides rough on the pavement, and chews up the lugs........or it rides too much on the flat in dirt, and can get a puncture...........all about the gap between the tread lugs)
I know it seems like I'm crazy to do the exterior patch..............it's a gamble to keep running till I find a tire.
I actually do know how to make a tire good. Dunno if y'all remember a post long time back about a "new" tire I bought at auction that had a tear in the sidewall. Brand new Firestone radial (about $800 new) that I got for around 350ish...........but found out that they'd put the bad side down so ya couldn't see it at the auction.
Got it home, got ready to mount it, and instant bummer!!!!!!!!!!! According to my dates on the pics, it was sometime last October.
So..............not to let it get the best of me..........I got ahold of this outfit in Tulsa, and they brought some boots out. I bought a coupla sizes.
Glued 'em inside, not in the "right" way, and made do. I needed to provide as much support for an innertube as possible.
Put the tube from the old tire in, and aired her up................
Worst place for a boot........on the sidewall.....because a radial flexes so much. BUT SHE'S HELD UP THROUGH THE MUD, THE BLOOD, AND THE BEER, SINCE LAST FALL Honest To God.........the tear hasn't grown in the time since the boots were put in.
I keep hoping I can stumble on another deal like this............but time is limited........need the loader almost daily, and that bandaid ain't gonna hold up forever.

Re: Farmersammm's Tire Repair
I think the average guy doesn't appreciate the force of compressed air.
These tires generally run between about 15psi, and maybe a max of maybe 18psi. The force of that large mass of air, compressed to the specified psi, is absolutely awesome. People have been killed airing up large tractor tires to 30psi.

Re: Farmersammm's Tire Repair
K'kins is quite familiar with volume, and pressure.
She tells me that if I were an elephant, my pfarts would accelerate global warming by 20yrs
But, y'all are safe for the time being..................I'm strictly high pressure, low volume

if you stitched that slice with some heavy fishing line or para cord then a patch from the inside you wouldnt have it pulling apart like that....fishing line like 80 lb test would work fine and is real cheap...

I do... I have witnessed four tires on heavy equipment blow out for various reasons. It ain't pretty when one lets go. The worst was one of those beadless tires on a 992 Cat loader with the steel track band tread, they run at 120 PSI. It was parked in the corner and a sidewall let go. blew all the windows out of three trucks parked nearby. One truck lost a radiator from the flying junk that blew through the air. Luckily nobody was near it when it blew. I was 600 feet away behind a D-9 cat and had rocks hitting my truck. The tire guys said the heat of the sun raised the pressure enough to blow it out.
The other worst was a 37.5"x 39" radial on the rear of a scraper that blew a sidewall at full tilt boogie on a hard packed haul road, I was the operator and thought I was deaf for life. It blew a 3 foot deep hole in that road. and a few smaller ones as the pressure went down. It was 3 days before my ears quit ringing.

I don't think a tire is going to get him.. More like his Girlfriend..
I had a 14" 914 Porsche Continental tire knock me silly with the sidewall blowing up when mounting it.. That was 45 years ago, and a important lesson on what air pressure can do.. It hit harder then baseball bat to the face. Which I also felt..either way going to see stars if you are lucky....

Re: Farmersammm's Tire Repair
Sadly ag tires come in 2 types cheap crap and expensive ones. Firestone is all we run. Goodyear’s are good for a year and they crack the sidewalls. Michelin’s are good but very expensive. We have a set of double coin branded tires that was cheaper that has held up well but the tire shop quit selling them because they were hell to mount

Re: Farmersammm's Tire Repair
I'm not the troll here. Also paying out on a bloke's missus is a very low act and shameful. Why don't you start posting up some of your fantastic work you brag about, we've seen nothing from you except negs. Are you in the right place here? it's for welding.

Re: Farmersammm's Tire Repair
Toddled (drove actually......but at my usual toddling pace) over to the consignment auction in Tulsa today, hoping for a tire.......none in my size
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FOUND THIS ON FLEABAY!!!!!!!!!!!
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Used-Work...ef98%7Ciid%3A1
If it doesn't hold air, it'll at least gimme the massive Mighty Oak thighs that K'kins admires
Anyways, for real, gonna order a new Firestone I guess. Should be here in about 3 days or so. Damn tire is gonna be about 1/5 the price I paid for the stinkin' tractor

Re: Farmersammm's Tire Repair
Actually.........if I could take a look at the actual tire the dood sells for "workout tires", I might find it acceptable for use. Might be better than what I got on there now.
