Ugh- hello everybody... been awhile. I've been lurking around, working mostly, whether at home or at work.
Anyway- working in the garden tonight, got through and loaded all the tools in my loader for the trip to the shop. Driving too fast, I hit a bump and jostled the contents just enough that a garden hoe jumped out and ended up under my rear tire. Cut a slash in the tread area about 1/2 inch long or so. I didn't even hear it leaking, I just noticed the fluid leaking out of the cut as I drove the tractor to the shop.
I have her parked now with the cut at the 12 o'clock position. Air is leaking slowly, fluid is staying put. I'd like to get it fixed one way or the other.
Can I simply patch or plug the tire without taking it off the tractor?
Tractor is a JD790, 160 hours, R-1 tires...
Thanks...
