    Hi everyone. Happy new year.

    I was just wondering can a tractor tyre be repaired using a repair type shoelace like they use to repair car tyres. There is a tek screw jammed in the front wheel of the tractor. It's a 480 size tyre. Or does the tyre need to be taken off and patched.

    Thanks for your help on this

    Thanks for yer help on the above. It's goin down every 3rd day so I think I'll plug it with them.

    In relation to your problem adne we had the same grief with another tractor last year. We took the easy way out and put a tube on it. Sorry I can't be of more help

    Get your tire man to put bead sealer around the rim

    Buy a tin of bead sealer. Handy to have. About 30 euro, will do dozens of tyres.

    I do always put a dab of blue grease along the bead of the tyre when im blowing them back up.
