In the words of the famous Red Green, "never ever do this-----unless it works."
I used to have a huge problem with tube failures on my Steiger tractors with radial tires. Tire squirm would wreck several tubes per year on these rigs with 8 tires each. I discovered that you could convert the valve stem of a busted tube to tubeless by removing the stem retaining nut and putting a good thick bead of silicone rubber around the stem and screw the nut back on. Let it set an hour or two and pump it full of air. I used some for several years that way,untill all the tubes were removed and bolt in tubeless stems installed. This along with a gallon or more of tire sealer in each tire has about eliminated any tire problems.
