I'm sure I've seen a post or two in the past about repairing tractor tires with one of the Devcon products but I can't remember what the particulars were. I have a 1950 Farmall H that has fairly good rubber on it but one of the tires just failed due to old age and I doubt I've got the money to buy new ones. Can someone help me out here? Thanks in advance. The fault is in the tread not in the sidewall.

Skip,
I've read earlier posts about using Devcon as well. I've never tried it. However, I just bought the Devcon 80 putty and Devcon 80 liquid. My plan is to "refurbish" a set of old Firestone Field and Road tires with it for a Farmall B restoration. I've got some cracking on sidewalls, with a couple of small chunks missing. The tires still hold air, so will fill in some of the chunks/cracks and then finish with tire paint. I have no idea how it will turn out, but I'm gonna try it. I'll let you know if it works or not.

Poor people have poor ways.Back in the old days we would sometimes "patch " a break by using plumber's tape and 1/4" bolts on the inside of the tire.Crisscross the tape so it supports the break and drill the holes in the rubber with a 1/4" drill."Necessity is the mother of invention".

You said the tire failed due to old age. I assume that means it blew out which means it left a tear in the tire instead of a puncture. Experience tells me that there isn"t much you can do for a tire like this because the hole is pretty big and if the cords are weak enough to rip in that spot they will just keep on ripping even if booted. Of course it is hard to tell without seeing the tire.
