actually closer to 18 miles, and all back roads thru a lil town.
our local stores do have 16" tubes.. however thay are big tubes.. for 5.5, 6 and 7 tires.
this tractor would have had a little 4-15 tire.. however it currently has teensy car temp tires on them.. T120 70 D15 tires. very, very small. it really needed a 4-15 tube. a 6-16 tube would have been all wadded up inside that tire.
lil rim is only about 3" wide it seems..
principle sounds good.. but after working on a tire I'm dirty.. that means I have to go spend 20 minutes to clean up and put different shirt and pants on.. then run to town and burn just shy of 2 gallons of diesel ( 3.89 per gallon ).
thus I'm spending near an hour and a half and 7.78$ to prove a point?
I have a box of patches and tubes of glue that dry up every year if i don't use them.
twas worth my time to stay home and work on something ellse while tube was glueing, and then try to slap it on later. if it failed an inflation test after the patch, before I re-installed it, then it could take a ride with me to work next time I was in town and could justify that trip and fuel. during the weekend when i may only have 2 hours at a time to work on a tractor here and there.. hard to justify burning 1.5 hours of it proving a point. besides. at least a half an hour would have been burned just finding out it was bad int he first place.. meaning.. i'd be pullignthe tube out and running to town, only to get back and not even be able to work on it.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
