Mike,
I used the Pump this weekend worked great. I took the Valve Core out , jacked the Tractor up, lowered pressure to 5 PSI, noticed that the AGs looked like they may relax and come off the rim. So I kept a little pressure in the tire. On the 24 1/2 pump, the pump stopped. I thought great something just happened to the BORROWED pump, so I pulled up to get a full stroke and pushed again, nothing it didn't budge. Pulled the fitting of the Valve Stem """SPLAT""" Multi-Seal all up my arm, chest, neck. From that little pressure that I had put on the Fill hose once it clogged, it was a jet of Multi-seal out of the hose, against the Rim and right back at me. This was on the Back Tire, So I removed the valve stem that threads into the larger Stem. Air starts flowing, look in the stem. Multi-Seal did what it claims ( Seals large punctures and holes) A small piece of the Black ground up rubber had lodged in the Stem then the fine fibers had filled in around that.
After clearing the Stem, I looked back at the Tire , It had relaxed off the Rim, GREAT, pulled out the Air Compressor gave it a shot of air NOTHING , just a hissing as the air came out as quick as it went in.
By now the Tractor and Tire that was in the Shade an hour ago when I started the process is now starting to get a little of a Sun Tan. So I grabbed the Ratchet strap and tried "Spreading" the tire to get it back tight against the Rim. 30 minutes later , still hissing. It is HOTTT about now, so head to the house, grab lunch and refreshments. AC feels really good, maybe the Tire setting in the sun for and hour or so will do it some good, "Make it more flexible " , so after an Hour and a Half nap, back out there . Still no Luck.
Read all warnings and make sure Multi-Seal is not Flammable. I revert to the Ether method, Quick Spray around the Rim, one match later, "WHOOF, POP" and the Tire is Set , put valve core in and air tire up.
Job Done.
