A lot depends on the size of the split. If the split runs from Bead to Tread, I'd say FORGET IT, look for a replacement; but if it's a small split it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, especially since this is on a "slow speed" Tractor tire and not on a highway tire.
BUT, back in 1970 on a nearly new 10.00x15 Tubeless, Bias Ply Mud & Snow tire on my '67 4x4 Toyota Landcruiser, I got a 4 inch long rock slice in a sidewall. After thoroughly prepping the inside of the casing, I placed a series of Vulcanizing HOT Patches cross-wise over the slice, slightly overlapping the sides of each successive patch. Next, after prepping the backs of the patches, I glued on a 12x12 "Self-Vulcanizing" Boot, and after allowing it to cure, I installed a heavy duty truck tube of the appropriate size. When properly inflated, the rock slice spread slightly and was very noticeable, so I over-inflated the tire by 20 PSI and applied multiple layers of Black "Liquid Rubber" in the slice, allowing a thorough cure between each application until the rock slice was filled. I reduced the tire pressure to normal and buffed off the excess. Because of the imbalance, this tire always remained on one side or the other of the Rear Axle, other tires were rotated normally. - < NOTE: This was on a Highway tire at an extremely rural, remote, mountain-top Mining Claim, where the NEAREST Town (population about 400) was over 70 miles away. - PS: I got over 60,000 miles on that set of tires.> ..

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
