JD 4100 Wheel Vale stim broke

[RitchElbe]

Any suggestions or methods of repair?

Drill it out and put a tube in the tire.

Your tire looks to be tubeless.
Are your tires filled with rimguard or WW antifreeze?
If not, the challenge is to break the bead so that a new valve assembly can be installed.
I will give you a suggestion assuming this is a rear wheel and that you have a FEL.
Remove the wheel and leave the tractor up on secure wood blocks. Place problem wheel where you can put down pressure on the edge of the tire near the rim.
You may need to put a block of wood on the tire for the FEL bucket to push down on. Hopefully this will break the bead and you can then reach inside to install a new valve assembly.
Alternatively, either take the wheel and tire to a tire repair shop or have them make a house call.
If your tire is loaded, it will be too heavy to move easily and you will need a tire repair guy to pump out the liquid and reinstall it.
Some tractors have a shield welded to the rim to protect the valve.
Don't ever weld on a rim with a tire installed on the rim.
A chemical reaction takes place leading to an explosion as shown in this video.

Holy moly! That's quite a violent reaction.

it is tubeless, had WW Fluid in. What led to this was a chunk of firewood bouncing off the trailer and straight into the valve.
I honestly believe it's Ole Man Murph messing with me. I say that because exactly 1 week before this happened yesterday.
I commented to myself " Come the spring I'm gonna break those tires down and put guards on those to protect the valve
stems " and look what happened. has FEL, I've used that trick before. Gotta say as a welder of 30 plus years..I knew not to weld on rims in use..but never saw that video. It will be shared with the welders and instructors I know

looks like it has a tube to me, Tubeless valve stem should have metal nut holding it

 

[RitchElbe]

I've owned this tractor since he came off the show room floor. Never had a tube put in it.

Is that nut holding the stem plastic or is it the light in the picture.

Well Folks, to my surprise I discovered a tube was installed whilst I was away in the middle east back on '06.
And not one place in town as a proper tube. Nor did the tube inside have numbers to match.
The Tire that it needs to fit shows " 9.5-16 " on the side..but when I google that I get a lot of
weird numbers back that do not verify if it will work or not.

I think this will work Amazon.com: Air Loc Brand 8.3/9.5-16 8.3-16 8.3x16 9.5x16 Bias Farm Tractor/Implement Inner Tube with TR218A Valve Stem: Automotive

The local place that services tractor tires wanted $65 for labor just to change out the valve I had gotten
from the local John Deere Place. Screw that nonsense!
