I am feeling sad because my 300 got a flat rear tire. I ran over a somewhat rotten aspen branch in the woods today, about 4" in diameter and hidden under some weeds. It had a broken off branch stub that was not rotten at all and poked right through my old 6 ply 14.9/38 tire and punctured the tube. I parked it so the hole is on top and all of the fluid will not leak out, but I think I will drain the fluid out of both tires this fall. I need to get it back up and working soon and I want to wait and keep an eye out for a used tire or tires so I am thinking in the meantime about what I can do to patch this tire enough to get it back to work for a month or two, maybe. I have seen pictures where someone bolted a piece of another tire over the inside of a hole, and I would be willing to try that. Once I pulled the stick out the rubber closed back up and the hole is now only visible from the outside if I look closely. I haven't broken the tire down to look at the inside yet. I am wondering if I should be bolting something in or if for this type of puncture there would be a better way. I know this whole idea is pretty dumb but I need to get the tractor back to work as soon as I can since I am using it to bring logs out to finish the siding and the loft floor for the new building and I don't want to buy a brand new tire if I can help it, prices being what they are nowadays. I will be very thankful for any advice about how to proceed. Zach
