BX2370-1 - flat rear tire

[Tractor Seabee]

My dealer convinced me that the minor amount of liquid weight in the tires was a waste of time and money. Recommended that weights be used instead. I made a rack for the QH frame to mount suitcase weights. 50# apiece and only add the weight you need. They also can be used on the front then also. Definitely repair flats by adding tubes. As they went flat (and they will) tubes were installed till all around. Problem with foam is it takes all the flex out of the tires and you cannot soften to float over muddy areas.

I got a puncture on one of my rears on my B26 TLB while helping a neighbor repair some roads in their RV park. I hauled my compressor down there and aired it back up and continued to put in air till I finished that job (about 3 days) then when I unloaded it at home, I jacked that tire off the ground using the stabilizers, aired it up to max pressure, soaped it all around till I found the small puncture. I had one of those tubeless tire repair kits and used that to insert a rubber plug. It has been holding good for about a year now. About $4 for the kit and no removing or hauling to a tire shop.
