First, you need to locate the leak. Had a rear lawn mower tire that leaked all along the side wall because it was run flat too long. Couldn't find a replacement tire. Green Slime won't work if you just add it to the tire. You have to position the tire so the slime will get to the leak. I removed the tire from the mower, positioned the tire on it's side so the slime could find the leaks and it sealed the tire for many years.
Neighbor had a boat trailer tire he couldn't keep air in it. Bad leak around the bead. Told him to break the tire down, clean up the rim and tire with a brush on a drill. Then add a little slime to the rim and bead. When inflating, point the tire away from you or you will get slimed when the tire hits the rim. The tire has held air for years.
Same story with my rear tire on the backhoe. Bead leaking. Slimed the bead and it works fine.
So if you know how to use slime, it's a good product. Just adding it to a tire may not work. I would never use it on a car or truck. Might mess with the tire balance.

My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
