jinma 224 tire question

[TSMART]

I am asking cause I really don't know.....Stock 224, I have a flat rear tire. (original ag from factory)...its got a nail in it. Looks like a 12p sinker. Vertically stuck in it. Is this tire tubeless??? Can I ream it and plug it? It is not a sidewall puncture, its between the welts of the tire. Would be a real easy plug if possible.

Or must I remove the tire and take it to the tire shop for tube repair? If so where is the correct point to jack it up? Near the wheel on the axle or on the plate right under the hydro res? (middle rear..would jack up the entire rear end then use jack stands on both sides near wheels)?

Never had a flat before (on a tractor) so I need advise. Thanks.

Hi Check the tire valve. If it has a tube it will be loose in the hole.if it's a tubless it will be sealed to the rim like a car tire. I usually jack it up near the tire.like where the ROPS attach.
my JM284 has all tubes in the tires.

Yep, if thats the test then its a tube thing. Thanks.

Glad you got it fixed. Curious if they vulcanized a patch on the inside of the tire. This is done to keep water and dirt (mud) from entering the tire through the small hole.

The tire guy said the tractor never had the right tube in it, for what its worth. I told him I bought the tractor new from a dealer, he said somebody messed with it at the dealership, cause it had a truck tire tube in it. (I did not know the difference)..anyhow, all's well now.
