I cannot jack up the front but I have a friend who may be able to do it for me. How much will it cost me to get the tire replaced? I think it is tubeless, because the air is coming out slowly through the tiny hairline crack on the surface of the side of the tire. But what do I know?
It might be tubeless, but it might have a tube with a small hole in that spot or somewhere else which is leaking between the tire and tube and exiting through that crack...hard to say.
I recently paid $70 for a new tire and tube for my Farmall A, but I had to install them. I think they were 5.00x15's so a bit smaller. This is up in Canada so the parts might be cheaper, but you are looking at labour to reinstall although that is quick.
But like Gale said, I would look at getting it patched or you could find a used passenger car tire where the tread has worn down to unsafe limits for car use. You could ask the tire shop if they have anything old or used they would mount on your rim for a bargain.
