    Adding ATF to the slow leaking tire will help a lot. I did that trick with an old Craftsman Garden tractor with slow leaks and has been holding air all winter. You will probably have to remove it and tilt it for a while so it gets into the side walls. Sounds crazy but the ATF swells the rubber and does a great job with the added benefit of not rusting out the rim from the inside like slime does. Great video I am hooked.

    Cool series, it's ironic because I have a Kubota tg1860g that I couldn't stand, every year it would throw its drive belt. I don't even want to get into it about that model. So instead of fixing the belt last year, I inherited an 83 John Deere 111. It had been kept in a garage for 20 years and I got it running with a new carb. I used it until this summer and the engine blew. So I decide to fix the Kubota, only it won't run and it it spraying gas when I try, so new fuel pump and carburetor and everything seemed fine, I got to the end of mowing and turned it off and it caught on fire. We said good riddens to bad rubbish and bought a new engine for the John Deere. I put a 15.5 hp in it, it took a little modification, but so far so good. The new engine didn't have a port on the crankcase for the line to the fuel pump so I added one to the oil filler tube. I had to grind a little off the housing for the steering shaft because the back of the engine hit it. I guess the one I got was gravity fed instead of having a fuel pump. I also had to add a power line for the fuel shut-off solenoid. I'm charging the battery now to see if it will run. Had to put a new throttle cable on it as well.

    If you put a tube in a tubeless tire be sure and take a rag to the inside of the tire and the wheel rim looking for burs, thorns, nails,rough welds, etc...

    the editing/sound and music during the cut scenes has added greatly to the quality of videos..lotsa work but worth it..

      The editing is the bulk of the work, but the final product is worth it! :)

    Got married in 1968, first complaint,i don’t like the way your barber cuts your hair, she has been cutting them ever since. Love watching your hands working.

      I started cutting his hair in 2020 when you couldn't get a haircut anywhere - and it was popular so we kept it up! :)

    Great video! I'm enjoying your posts immensely. On those slow leaking tires, do you ever use ATF? It works great for me (better than stuff like "Green Slime" etc., and doesn't make the inside of the tires disgusting.
