  • ATF has worked in 100% of my rotted dry rot cracked lawn tractor tires flawlessly. I never knew why it works so well, but I found out recently and I'll share it with you.

    Once again, UA-cam to the rescue. I’d seen people mention this and tried 4 ounces each in a front and rear lawn tractor but it doesn’t seem to have helped. I wondered whether it took a certain amount of time for the ATF to work so I asked on several different Facebook groups but everyone either disagreed that it worked or hadn’t heard of it.
    Your video finally answered my question, plus explained why it actually works.
    I suspect Slime has some ATF in it as well as the other ingredients.

    • @MowersNBlowers
      @MowersNBlowers  2 місяці тому

      Slime doesn’t have atf in it, you have to rotate tire so every inch of the tire is covered with atf. It works only with slow leaks, if theres a huge crack or hole, it’ll leak out. Hope you’re subscribed

I remember hearing that and it may be true, but lets be real, when immigrants came to America, they weren't saying wow theirs New Jersey, they were saying wow, theirs New York as they arrived!
