Nebraska native here, I’ve been watching for years. Appreciate the support. Some communities are really destroyed. About 20 minutes from my city a few communities lost everything.
Just offering some experience. You don't have to deflate a tire to plug it. If you get one that's giving you trouble plugging you can put some vulcanizing goo or rubber cement on the plug.
I always use Rubber Cement when plugging a tire. As an added bonus, it's easier to get the plug in. On several occasions, I've been able to plug a tire without even jacking up the vehicle: Find leak, plug, inflate, go.
Nice work, Jack. As an old-timer told me once when I was running his excavator to load my dump truck "Just more hours in the seat and you'll be as good as me".
What a beautiful day on the homestead, everyone working apart but still together! These multi project, day to day life videos are my absolute favorite! Enjoy the spring now that its come at last!
Hi guys,good to see another video Cody.As for me on tires like that one,when i repaired in the past ,i just tubed them.on really bad cuts in the side wall, i use plastic off a thick bottle as a patch on the inside with duct tape holding it in place then put in a tube.kind of like a band-aid on the inside.that lasted me a whole year of weekly mowing.works up to 10 miles per hour . have a good one. haha
I always use rubber cement on the plug before putting it in the tire. I also use a lighter to set the cement on fire for a few seconds to help dry the cement quickly. And I am also with the group who says leave the air in the tire when plugging it, helps keep the side wall from collapsing like it did for you here.
I drove my car after it had a flat tire and I ruined the rim and I had to pay $100.00 for a new rim plus the tire was shredded and had to be replaced. Big bucks for not leaving it parked! Lesson learned on this one mistake! I like the new stand for sitting the tire on to make the repairs easier on the back for sure. Thank you Cody 👍
Was just finally getting to your "Did Gerber Just Destroy Benchmade" video. Love watching you when I can. Trying to get caught up before heading to work! Keep up the great work Cody!
I battled a slow-leaking rear tire on my zero turn for about two seasons until I finally relented and had tubes installed. Only regret I didn't do it sooner.
One wee tip. Add some tubeless tyre sealant like what mountain bikes use. It can seal tiny holes and also aid the rubber grommet you put in. Also soapy water can help seal the bead easier.
For minor sidewall damage on a slow speed, light duty tire like this you might try an emergency repair tire boot. Typically used for glass cuts in bicycle tires, I don't see why it wouldn't work for this application as well. It would require removing one side of the tire from the rim. www.parktool.com/product/emergency-tire-boot-tb-2?category=Tube%20%26%20Tire is one I've used.
I've always added a little rubber cement when installing the plugs, I've found that works well on sealing those pesky leaks even after installing a plug.
Seeing Jack grow and age and gain so many skills since I started watching you has given me so much joy and helped me discover all the things I wish to pass on to my son. Thank you @Wranglerstar for these videos
I don't know who taught you to plug a tire but you plug with the tire filled and use glue on the plug!! Plus I would have patched it! Or put a tube in it!!
The Slime kit I have has the glue already on the plug. I also have a second kit in my atv that has a little container of glue you have to add to the plug. 🤷🏼♂️
Ome of the best things to do to lawnmower tires is to fill them full of slime when brand new. We have have issues getting debris in them when mowing our roadsides and the thorns off the locusts trees are hell on tires. The slim normally fixes the puncture without you even knowing it happened untill you remove the tire.
I never deflate the tire before plugging. By keeping the tire inflated, it's easier to use the reamer and insert the plug since the tire surface is tight and hard. Plus you can quickly tell if the leak is fixed or if it requires more attention.
HELLO from chihuahua mexico, Drive a machine is easy, to operate is the next level, I feel proud to see your son become a real man, not one more snowflake.
Your suppose to leave the air in the tire to plug it and the tire file is actually designed for the steel belts in most tires to push them out of the way so the plug goes in easier not a issue with lawn mower tires lol
Back in the old days 😇 they'd dig and pick the dirt away, chop the roots with an axe, and a good pickup was tough enough the give it a few yanks and out it'd come.
I have done a lot of repairs on my moped with a kit like that.. but normally i use some rubber cement to get a 100 % seal. and if you leave the air in the tire when reaming and pouching in the plug its a lot easier.. and a good trick for setting the bead easy is to take out the valve and the blow air in to it... much more air flow thou the Schrader valve.. then you can set a bead even with a small hobby air compressor. but still a very good video. :) keep up the good work.
Haha you say goodmorning i say good evening! Its annoying to live in different timezones. But i always have something good to watch when i get home from work. 😁
take out the valve stem when you inflate the tire. a much higher volume of air goes in and pushes the tire against the rim. Green slime works very well on mower tires, seals up the leaks.
Hey Cody something I do a lot is put a inner tube in when I have a sidewall on a lawn mower that has cracks in it like that especially if it still has a lot of tread on it
Next time you you have to patch a tire with those patches try putting some rubber cement on it helps the patch fill up the hole and makes it more durable
Mrs W, I did the same thing with my snowblower. Pulled it out of the shed before I checked the tires, and yes I pulled a tire off the bead. Lesson learned. :-)
Hi, guys thanks for sharing the state of your Garden, as I mentioned to you in person way back when you helped to inspire me to build my own raised beds. btw what happened to the raised bed frames you cut, did they end up going to someone ?. would enjoy seeing a tour of the Garden eventually. thanks for posting.
Yeah resetting beads can be a bear. We have to let most of the air out of our air seeder tires to back it into the shed for storage over the winter, and we have broke a couple beads. If you are lucky 3 heavy guys and a forklift will do the job, if not, spray Ether around the tire and ignite it. that will usually do it. Keep in mind though those are about 15 X the size of little steering lawnmower tires.
When you said Jack was digging a stump my mind went back to my days digging stumps. Axes, shovels and spud bars. The Yanmar makes digging stumps fun! WOW!
Get you some Schrader valves that are used in hvac applications. They are higher quality and are used in systems that handle hundreds of psi leak free. Great vid. You might not see this since I’m several months late.
If you remove the valve before trying to inflate and set the bead you give yourself a good chance without the Ratchet strap. It allows a larger volume of air into the tyre in a short amount of time. Just means you have to reinflate it again with the valve core in place once the bead is set.
I have an air chuck that I took the guts out of so you get more volume faster from the air tank. Lot of tines that will set it back on the bead with out strap/rope trick. .
So...I've been watching some of your newer videos and keep noticing the "Nebraska strong" hats. Do you live in Nebraska or are you just showing support because of all the flooding? Just asking as a born and bred Omaha native.
My dad and I always had a patch kit in our atv's at one point we had more patch then tire lol. We always patched them with air in the tire though it makes it a bit easier I think.
i just got a john deere e120, ps have a coats 20-20 at home for tires, but my binks compressor only runs at 100 psi used to run 500psi bu tank is now 50 years old
Hi Man! Didnt know your wife was swedish! :D So cool! Im from Norway! Me and your wife's like neighbours;) Love watching your videos! Keep em coming! :D
My Dad, came into. My electronic shop. He placed a tool that I use for wire wrapping in front of me. He then laid a almost identical tool beside it. Meant to remove and replace Schrader valve cores. Apparently, he borrowed it, without realizing that it wasn't a valve core removal tool. Sent it cost me all of 3.95, and I had three or four of them, I let him keep it, so he could punk his friends.
Have you ever used multi seal 20120 tire sealant with kevlar before? I hear this is the best stuff for keeping tires from going flat? Maybe a future video?
Just received my Gerber Fastball today per your recommendation. Feels next to nothing in my pocket which is very important to me for an EDC. The factory edge is good but I’ll put a shine on it. Very happy with it. Anxious to use it.
If you take the valve out before you try top seal it you can do it without the strap to seat it , valve removed flows more air then replace valve and re inflate
This is my favorite tire repair kit guys - Only $7 with FREE SHIPPING... amzn.to/2vTGZFJ

We love Nebraska,
It’s super easy if you leave the air in the tire. It also let’s you see if it’s leaking right off the bat.
Great video as always!
yep....I've never let the air out and from what I saw I wont
The pressure makes it easier
I was wondering why he took the air out too.. I also dip my plugs in rubber cement b4 I plug a tire
yes on both fronts... but with the sore wrist atm, can be harder to get some in.
Glad i'm not the only one thinking this. I never let the air out of a tire I'm plugging also like the rubber cement.

Why did you take the air out to patch. Patch with the air in.
Nice work, Jack. As an old-timer told me once when I was running his excavator to load my dump truck "Just more hours in the seat and you'll be as good as me".
Kudos to Jack! How many young men his age can operate a backhoe? Good stuff

Thank you Perry,
Am I the only one who noticed the tire still leaking at 12.51?!?!?
Are you the only one that didn't listen to him tell Mrs. W. that It may stop leaking when the pressure goes down some at 15:01?!?!?!?

Excellent work Jack, your mom and dad are raising you up well. I really enjoy these videos where you have the family all doing their own things.
Pro tip : coat the patch with rubber cement before inserting.
Make sure it's vulcanizing cement, or it won't do much. The vulcanizing cement will fuse chemically with the rubber and become part of the tire.
I work in a tire shop and have found if you stand on the tire the right way you can seat the bead just fine with compressed air.
I battled a slow-leaking rear tire on my zero turn for about two seasons until I finally relented and had tubes installed. Only regret I didn't do it sooner.
Love the Nebraska Strong hat! So good to see you teaching your son skills that matter for life. You are a great example for others. Thank you.

The Slime kit I have has the glue already on the plug. I also have a second kit in my atv that has a little container of glue you have to add to the plug. 🤷🏼♂️
monster stump. nice backhoe. good work, Jack.
Next time you repair a tire try applying rubber cement with the same kit, I find I have much better luck, on bikes that is

Man I can't agree more.. Tire repair kit is a must in any car!! It's came in handy more times then I can count
12:40 I saw some bubbles coming from the plug. That tire might be done for.
yep... saw it too
Yeah, he said at the end that it might stop leaking when the pressure goes down.
A little rubber cement or PVC cement helps in a pinch.
Like he said, on a passenger vehicle this would only be if you were out of other options.
He can save the tire by removing the plug and using a vulcanized patch on the inside. But don't do this on a car or truck.
Cody said the tire was done for (15:01). This was just to get Ms. W mowing again because she LOVES to mow.
Getting wreckless on the John Deere.
Nothing the man of the house can't fix.
Haha you say goodmorning i say good evening! Its annoying to live in different timezones. But i always have something good to watch when i get home from work. 😁
I absolutely love you wranglerstar you’ve taught me so much.
I literally just bought a plug kit at Walmart the other day thinking “wranglerstar must have a video on this”
Big Jack that's what's up man! You have taught your son well.

Mrs W, I did the same thing with my snowblower. Pulled it out of the shed before I checked the tires, and yes I pulled a tire off the bead. Lesson learned. :-)
Little tip to help seat the bead on any tire is to remove the schrader valve to help push as much air into the tire at once.
Spraying PB B'laster on the beads softens them and helps to seal much better than keeping them dry. We did that all the time at the lawnmower shop.

I usually just throw tubes in my lawn mower tires. They seem to hold air better and longer in my experience.

Get you some Schrader valves that are used in hvac applications. They are higher quality and are used in systems that handle hundreds of psi leak free. Great vid. You might not see this since I’m several months late.
Hey Cody! Just a FYI they sell the plugs alone on amazon for cheap when you run out
That is one skill I wish I had-heavy equipment. Jack is a lucky young man, to be exposed to that training at a young age. Great video Thanks

Plugs are iffy, rather than buy new tire, put a tube in it, way less expensive !!
suggest you read my reply with amazon link above
I’m finally back Cody catching up on some videos!
I only done this to car and truck tires. Is there any reason you let the air out? I always patched em when aired up. Great video!
Great job, Jack!
My Husqvarna has never had a flat tire... Maybe Mrs. W can teach you a thing or two about the Swedish engineering! Don't Ya Know!?
So...I've been watching some of your newer videos and keep noticing the "Nebraska strong" hats. Do you live in Nebraska or are you just showing support because of all the flooding? Just asking as a born and bred Omaha native.
That's why you leave the air in, so it won't collapse on you.
My dad and I always had a patch kit in our atv's at one point we had more patch then tire lol. We always patched them with air in the tire though it makes it a bit easier I think.
Wranglerstar you can get tubes to fit those tires so that you do not have to get rid of the tire .... just a thought to ponder
i just got a john deere e120, ps have a coats 20-20 at home for tires, but my binks compressor only runs at 100 psi used to run 500psi bu tank is now 50 years old
If you're using an air compressor, having the Schrader valve out will help get enough air volume in to seat the bead.
You are a good man. Sometimes you see a guy who has it all figured out - I'm trying to be one of those guys.
Awesome stuff Cody! Beautiful family!
Hi Man! Didnt know your wife was swedish! :D So cool! Im from Norway! Me and your wife's like neighbours;) Love watching your videos! Keep em coming! :D

Works better when you air in the tire. Don't let the air out.
I would not plug a sidewall. Pull it off and patch the inside I would think would be better.
You have got every man's dream the workshop tools everything
appreciate the helpful tips!

Love the pewdiepie reference!
What happened here ... silence!!! Lol I call that a battle scar .. my mower has many of them !!!
There's really no reason to let the air out when using the plug kit, if anything the air keeps the tire from flexing as much.
If you take the valve out before you try top seal it you can do it without the strap to seat it , valve removed flows more air then replace valve and re inflate
That the reason tubeless makes no sense on a vehicle like this.
Fixing a tube is faster and easier.
You could put a tube in it that’s what I did with one of mine
Anyone saying it's unsafe, this isn't a road vehicle even if it fails it just means you've got to wait a bit before mowing.
That is the mower you sold all the T-Shirts for? It looks great and so do my extra t-shirts hanging in the closet! Thanks TeeSpring!
You shoulda left the air in the tire. The plugging kits work better with a few psi in the tire.
So sorry you got hurt Cody. Prayers for your speedy recovery!
To set the tier I just kick it a few times and it builds a pressure form squeezing the air
Stump removal in one word: Dynamite!
Used to work at Sears and I had to use ratchet straps more times than I can count. Worked every time for tractor tires.
