Nails lurking in the grass after a building project will leave your tires your garden tractor stranded and deflated. Tire patch kits use tubes of elastic , tacky material that you push to spot it. Holes in back tires are difficult to achieve while the bicycle is mounted, although without removing it, in most cases you are able to spot a tire.

Loosen the lug nuts securing the bicycle but do not eliminate them in the tire. Put on flat ground underneath a section of this garden tractor’s frame near the tire.

Examine the jack’s job under the lawn tractor to ensure the jack will not slide or shift under the weight of the tractor. Use the jack. While still holding the tire in 9, remove the nuts.

Find the nail in your tire and pull it straight out using pliers. Insert the probe included with the patch kit until the tire is completely penetrated by it, then expand the hole. Remove so that the probe is holding the middle of the patch and add the tire patch between the prongs at the tip of this tire probe.

Spread two to three drops of rubber cement and then force the probe using the patch into the pit without twisting or turning it. Twist the grip and pull the probe out when the grip comes in contact with the tire tread. Use the knife to cut off the patch protruding to stop it from pulling the patch out and catching on the floor.

Reinflate the tire and then listen for the hissing sound of escaping air. Spray the region with soapy water if the patch seems sound. Repeat the process should you hear air or see air bubbles.

Put the tire that was patched back to the rim and then fasten it you removed earlier. Lower the car jack carefully, taking care to keep tools and appendages apparent of this garden tractor.
