For something I used that little, and assuming the tire looks good, I would try a quart or 2 of Slime tire sealant. The next time I planned to use the machine, I would put the Slime into the tire and fill it up with maybe a little more air pressure than usual. Then use the equipment. The moving around gets the product to all areas of the tire and should seal the leak. Until that time, I would jack up the axle so the wheel does not overstress the flattened tire, or pop it off the rim. I had a tire on my trailer that kept going flat. I paid to have it fixed twice-- dismounted and examined with a new valve stem, but it kept going flat. Then I used the Slime. No more problems. It probably makes that tire way out of balance, at least when I start down the road, but since it is on a trailer, I don't think the balance matters much. Probably not on your tractor either. However if you ever have the tire professionally worked on, they will gripe about the goop in the tire. Slime does not cost much and is easy to use. It has done the job for me on lots of slow speed tubeless tires. I never tried it on anything as big as a rear tractor tire, but I bet it would work fine. Easy and cheap, my kind of repair!
