| Going to put some sealer from a 5-gallon container in some tractor tires. I thought the pump advertised along side the sealer for as much as the sealer was a lot of money for likely a one time use. I have all manner of compressors, shop, small 12V, and a couple of old hand bicycle tire pumps. Anybody out there have a macGuyver or other alternative than the $100-$260 alternative. Yeah, I'm cheap. |

how about a quart bottle like gear lube comes in... 3 inches round and several inches tall... connect a 3/8 inch hose and slip the hose over the tire valve and SQUEEZE. Tire should be no air to start with. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| forgot to mention back tires may need about 2-3 liters each. The squeeze bottle would work and probably be fitting for me being cheap, but i don't have PopEye forearms |

| I haven't had much luck with the green slime and have some gemplers extreme on the way way. Their pump price was 260+ shipping. |

| Can I make the hard suggesiton here? Don't use sealant. Tear the tire down and fix it right. Sealant just makes it a mess for the next guy |

Appeciate that, but am working a piece of property with a lot of young locust trees, IM in the process of evicting their parents, pulling the Youngsters hydraulically if I can and tordoning the ones I cant. I've paid more than enough in tire/tube repair to pay for all the sealant I need. If there is a better way that works I'm all in. And the future owner is my son, so i'm going to sneak it past him.

| Once you put that stuff in a tire you'll probably never clean it up & your tire is trashed. No one wants to work with that stuff, it's a one time deal. Ask me how I know. |

See if you can find or borrow a set of steel wheels like the amish use. That's what a local guy did. Once he got hid of the thorns, he got rid of the steel wheels. Den ------------- Own 4 wheel 20, 2-5015, 5020 and associated equipment and 2 electric forklifts. |

| Dennis you are right. The dam stuff gets between the tire and tubes. It creates one heck of a mess for us guys that still work on tires. There's only 1 thing I know that is worse, that is condensed milk. Ya years ago we had guys putting that stuff in their tires. It gets rotten and stinks so bad a stray dog won't roll in it. But it his outfit, it might work for him. Once in a while it does. |

Buy a cheap bulldozer to use for your cleanup and then sell it for the same price you bought it for. No more tire problems and you save wear and tear on your tractor. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

Thanks for the suggestions. Think I'll go with the hand operated version. Need the exercise anyway. I've been using my D-15 on that piece of property for brush cutting, disking, etc, and have had numerous flats and a few tube replacements. I've spent a bunch for tracked skid steer work with tree puller and grapple. I've often thought of the dozer idea, but don't know enough about them to keep from buying junk. i'll be using the sealer stuff on a little newer non-orange tractor with tubeless tires so am guessing that any holes the sealer wont fix will have to be plugged anyway. |

| When I bought my dozer a guy told me (if you don't want to work on one don't buy one) He was correct. MACK |

| There are places which rent dozers. Not cheap but less than hiring the guy who owns one. You do need to know how to operate one. More to it than meets the eye. |
