Tubes
If you use tubes make SURE they are radial tubes - or bias tires.
Michelin Aistops work for radials - but you are limited to about
65mph. Make sure you dust the tire and tube well with Talc to
prevent
heating the tube.


Must be one fast mothafricken lawn tractor!!

It's faster than it should be. Since it has no suspension it can
bounce itself airborne where the steering and brakes don't work. I
tried chasing the kids around their ATV course fast enough to get air
over the jumps. I should have put the loader bucket on and put some
air under their jumps.

But the problem now is the SUV.

Clare suggested scrubbing and urethane paint. He also sent some
Canadian winter weather that makes painting outdoors unlikely. The
tractor's tires were glued on with something yellowish that made them
hell-owish to remove, even for a tire store after I gave up. Google
brings up other bead sealers. Is there a good simple balance between
difficult and effective?

Yellow stuff is trim adhesive - a "solution of last resort" for guys
who don't know how to do things right. - or weather-strip adhesive.
Both work for a few weeks.

Right, Elephant Snot! But that's absolutely -Hell- to remove.


And that nasty snow that's headed my way came up from TEXAS of all
places!!!! We had -18C overnight - got about 4 inches of snow over the
last 2 days here in Waterloo - more to the south-east down by Lake
Erie, and north west up by Lake Huron.. Seems like there is a
"splitter" somewhere down there leaving us in the "shadow".

We got snow last Friday and it still isn't gone. I'm missing days of
work and it sucks the big one. grumble, grumble Work's hard enough
to get in Winter here as it is.


As for other bead sealers, there are black latex bead sealers that do
a reasonable job - IF the beads are clean.. Those abrasive "prep
disks" on a die grinder are the cat's meow for cleaning up both alloy
and steel rims.

As are most Scotchbrite pads, on the manual end.
