No More Flat Wheelbarrow / Riding Mower tires

[@sixtyfiveford]

I have since started using TireJect as my only tire sealant. It is far superior and I did a video on it here​ Video on TIREJECT(best of the best): kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJfXmmmAqZWsm5Y TireJect Tire Sealant( a little goes a long way): amzn.to/36Gd9Yf

My wheelbarrow is from I think the 50's. It is beat up but it has an all steel spoked wheel. When I recently saw how much they charge for wheelbarrows I was like damn I better start taking care of mine.

[@peterk8025]

FYI, I will run a wheelbarrow tire until the first flat! And then it’s garbage! I go to my collection of used 4:80 trailer tires. Install one of those, running 50 psi. And never look back! The thickness of the trailer tires makes them “almost” flat free, tire slime would cover the times it’s not. And the extra air pressure keeps the tire from losing the bead seat, not to mention round. Like you have never rolled a more effortless wheelbarrow. Even with 6cf of concrete, effortless! On a side note: a short piece of flat bar or angle iron in front of the tire scrapes it clean from everything, mud, concrete or anything that might have stuck to the tire. Hope this helps someone as much as it’s helped me! 👍👍

[@BourneAccident]

It's been about 4 or 5 years now since I used Slime on my wheelbarrow and it's still holding well. This is the first year that I have to add a bit of air to both tires. That's pretty freakin' good compared to losing the air every 4 or 5 days. Thanks again.

[@lrees6412]

This does actually work this guy is right put it in my riding mower tires and never had a flat sense

[@charleshealy341]

Here is my method. I got this tip from another KZbin video. Simply drill two holes, about an eighth of an inch or slightly larger, at noon and 6 p.m. on one side of the tire. On the other side of the tire, drill two holes at 3 and 6. Now you have four holes in the tire, that are spaced 90° each. Now you take a can of expanding foam, also known as great stuff, and you use the long skinny tube, and squirt great stuff into each of the four holes. Don't overdo it, because the stuff is incredibly expanding, and you can actually put too much in it. When you've got the right amount, the tire will be almost as hard as a rock, and it will never go flat.

[@jeffdungey5848]

To set a bead I like using the ratchet straps method...wrap it around the circumference of the tire..keeping it centered, then tighten and add air. Works well 👍. Great video . Thx

[@michaelyork2122]

I've used spray foam insulation and it works great.

[@bctruck]

First time I used slime,I couldn't believe how good it worked. I had never noticed the tubeless bead missing. Now I know!!!

[@sixtyfiveford]

BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose People would have a ton less trouble if they would stamp this bead in.

[@Blakehx]

Nice thanks! A guy who pretty much only used his wheelbarrow out in some crazy fields just took off the wheel and tire and replaced it with a similar size slice of log from the tree he'd recently cut down! Probably added a fair bit of weight but it'll never go flat!

[@sixtyfiveford]

That's too cool.

[@wpowerwagon]

Yep I use green slime, works great, just remember that this slime flows like liquid so there's a certain amount that you put into the tires and on the bottle has a mount to put in, easy to use and works great

[@breeze787]

Wow! I've actually found a video on wheel barrow tires that addresses my issue with a worthy solution to attempt. Thanks for putting this up!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

[@brot5246]

I was in a hurry so I took my belt off and wrapped it around the middle of the tire and used a stick to tighten the middle of the tire to get the bead to seat while adding air. Whatever works right.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Heck Yeah.

[@scottschaffer4947]

I use ratchet straps. Works everytime

[@sixtyfiveford]

@@scottschaffer4947 ratchet straps rope belt or any other thing works but I have never had a single tire wasn't able to mount by just whacking the side.

[@got2kittys]

The solid tires are worth every cent you pay. I have used plywood circles in desperation before. And that doesnt go flat either. Lose the air, go solid.

[@got2kittys]

@USA i have an old wheelbarrow about 15 years old, it actually wore out from use. The solid tire still works. The rest, lets just say, I had to get another wheelbarrow.

[@coryshook7648]

I used Dow brand high vacuum grease once 25 years ago on a tire bead and it never failed. I know I used a slime type product too but I can’t remember which one.

[@mikem1959]

[@cayankeelord3730]

I used a blown tube as a tire liner. I just cut the center out and the valve stem out. Protects the side walls too. Couple that with a thicker thorn resistant tube and your good to go.

[@nickydumas9455]

Sir i am on my third set of replacement inner tubes for a 4.00-8 tired lawn tractor dump cart. Cart is great (USA Made), but the tires and tubes are not. First set leaked at the center seam and the second/third set of ‘Heavy Duty’ tubes punctured w bull stickers. I was reluctant to use a tire sealer and don’t really want solid tires. Between the tire liners, first thing i thought of, and the 50/50 mix you’ve shown us i’ve hope again. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this solution to a frustrating problem.

[@alancummings5008]

Never thought of adding windshield washer fluid. Great Idea. Had trouble adding enough slime to get mower tires to seal. Cant was it to try the washer fluid.

[@nathanhale7444]

I like the mud flap idea. I've got a mud flap around here somewhere. I'm probably gonna do a tube with slime in it and mudflap all around it.

[@davemi3213]

[@mogeroithe]

I finally quit messing around with an old wheel barrow going flat all the time and filled the tire with expanding foam. Ten years later, I need to put new handles on it. But not once have I had a flat.

[@stevenmalcomb4168]

A nice line of silicone caulk all the way around both wheel barrow wheel beads sure is good at stopping rim leaks.

[@TimSheets]

I just had both my wheelbarrow tires flat this Spring. I went to buy new tubes at my local big box store and they wanted $15 for a tube! A new cheapo tire with tube was $20. I hated spending that, but, needed to get them fixed that day. One was pretty dry rotted anyway. Also, another trick to seating the bead if you have tubeless is to wrap a rope or bungee cord around the tire. Same concept as smacking it, but, easier to do by yourself.

[@geoben1810]

Yep, that's definitely an airless tire. I've had those 🤤

[@retiredyeti5555]

One of the tires on my snowblower kept losing air, until I Slimed it - no more air loss! Works to a lesser degree on car tires, at least long enough to get it repaired. Gotta try the windshield washer/slime combo next time my wheelbarrow tire loses air. Thanks for another tip, your mind must be constantly working overtime!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Dale W Miller Thanks for watching, Dale. Yeah, I've been impressed by the things it can seal up. -Moe

[@robertheinkel6225]

I slimed all small tires. Only one developed a leak st the stem. The slime dried in the valve stem, preventing the valve from sealing.

[@johnthompson6656]

On wide lawn mower tires I put a ratchet strap around the middle and squeeze the center. It forces the sidewall out against the rim and let's the air catch the tire to the rim. Love the slime tips.

[@sixtyfiveford]

I had a strap nearly take my head off and have talked to guys since that have got hurt pretty bad by having that strap break. One guy had his teeth knocked out from the strap snapping once pressurized. I started just solely doing the flammable bang method. More intense but I feel like I can stand out of the way.

[@johnthompson6656]

@@sixtyfiveford Yeah I don't let it get too much pressure on it. Just little spurts until the bead touches. I've had close calls with the fire method.

[@enemyofthestate9358]

Seating the bead my favorite solution is I rap a ratchet strap around the tire and I snug it up and tighten it down and it forces the walls out and makes it easier to get the tire to seat and I have done this on small car tires (AIR IT SLOWLY AS SOO. AS THE BEAD SEATS TAKE IT OFF AND TAKE IT TO FULL PRESSURE) I also use to work in a shop and one of the guys used starter fluid to seat his bead!!! (DON'T RECOMMEND THAT ONE) BUT IT WAS COOL TO SEE!!!

[@bobw.991]

👍 I was thinking I needed a new tire. I was putting a can of flat tire in every time I needed to use my wheel barrow. Thanks!

[@mattmcfarland9154]

Just a little history on that beed on the rim to stop the tyre from comming off is a safety beed that was invented by dodge in about 1940 which was a standard saftey feature on their cars but didnt come in until 1965 as a standard feature for most other popular cars and now some bicycle wheelrims now have this saftey beeded feature on tubeless or tubed tyres.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Superiorpowerwash It's handy for large tires like the rears on riding mower where they require a ton of slime to coat. The washer fluid helps distribute it so you can use a lot less.

Atf fluid preserves rubber tires... Like on a camper that only gets used once a year. Wipe some on the sidewalls where the sun exposure is.

I have been buying tubes lately. Most of the time you can order Carlisle from Walmart online cheaply and pick it up at your local store for free shipping. Definitely spring for the slime too. I like the idea of some shielding inside the tire. Thanks.

[@wtbm123]

Most every small tire here has been slimed. A lot of times after putting it in they go flat again once then hold well after that. It is nice to go use something and the tires are up .

[@sixtyfiveford]

wtbm123 I find that happens a lot. I get a much better initial seal when I throw a little windshield washer fluid in with it, especially on tires with huge amounts of dry rot.

mikeatc33 Hey Thanks.

[@bobsue3639]

I tried Slime and it was actually worse than Fix a flat. My buddy welded an inner bead lip and he said that cured his problem. Also a quick way to seat the bead is a small squirt of starting fluid and and a match. Works every time. CAREFUL not too much starting fluid.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Slime is useless if you don't have enough. For bead seals you need a good amount or dilute is with windshield washer fluid so it flows. By itself it is too gooey and never flows to the bead.

[@raymonddaye1706]

Got frustrated with my dually wheel barrows getting flats so I replaced one pair on one of the wheel barrows with airless foam core tires. What I immediately experienced, solid tires don't give. If you have a loaded wheel barrow the solid tire will not flex over a bump, like a slight raise on a concrete sidewalk, like 1 ", it stops like it was ran against a wall. The dual wheel wheel barrow has a 750# capacity, with I think 10 or maybe 12 cubic ft of volume. Tire flex is important for smooth operation. These solid tires are like the old steel wheels, primitive results, no flats however.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Raymond Daye Yeah, I'm with you; solid tires ride very rough. I've used solid wheeled wheelbarrows and almost lost the load on small 1"-2" humps because they'll dead stop.

[@monicagrorud2225]

Hey buddy you are very good at explaining, so good

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

I bought a tire and innertube. The tube burst right away. I made a steel wheel of a cultivator tine. Drew a circle on plywood the same diameter as the rubber tire, cut it out as a male tire jig. Tried cutting 9/10 way thru to bend the 1/4" × 2" wide steel, so then bend, then weld it, but the spring steel always broke. So instead cut about 16 lengths, set them around the ply, welded them together. Centered the steel ring tire around the stock wheel, tacked in steel tube spokes, 4 at first. 4 more later. Welded. On the outer steel tire, the weld beads provide the tread and it works great. No flats, because of the steel flats.

[@sixtyfiveford]

That's awesome ingenuity.

[@nickush7512]

I am a 61 year old Brit: I come from a building family. Up until at least the mid 1970s, barrow tyres were made same as car tyres; The tread was over 1/4 inche of solid, deep treaded, very hard rubber. The walls were thick, stiff and well reinforced. Like so much else these days (excepting of course vehicles, IT of every description, high quality white goods etc) modern utility tyres are shyte beyond comprehension: they are beyond a joke, beyond insult. A wheel barrow by design, is an outdoor,. tool, designed rough tasks in a rough environment. Anyone purchassing such a tool should be able to push it over the occasional minor prick hazzard and without concern or fear of a puncture. As a boy, and teenager, I pushed wheel barrows over building sites over every possible prick hazzard that would shread one of these modern rubber gloves. The wheels often outlasted the barrows, which lasted YEARS of continuous daily assult, literally !! I managed to pick one up about 8 years ago, paid five pounds for it; it was the deal of the decade, I was delighted :) It looked about thirty odd years old, no paint left, a good array of dents of various sizes, but had been kept under cover for much of its working life to date. I saw another thirty years in it no worries, and that I would go through many modern biscuit tins on rubber glove tyres in place of this masterpiece of design, workmanship and construction. How many ill-opportune punctures will I avoid over the decades heneforth ?? I could not believe that the guy accepted my offer: he thought I was crazy to give a fiver for it !! I appreciate it every day that I walk past it. They sell us shyte because we settle for shyte. Is it, or should it be a crime, to manufacture something of such poor quality and unfitness for purpose, of limited useful life expectancy, which consumes perhaps 70% to many hundreds of % of the total resource requirement/burden of a quality alternative ?? Maybe the modern ethos is economically sustainable, in an infinite world; only unless you know something that I do not, I am going to err on the side of a finite world, which by definition, renders rubber gloved biscuite tins NOT susstainable.

I found windshield washer fluid to sometimes be unreliable to freezing so I used engine antifreeze to help spread the tire sealant around in the tube.

What happen sometimes you find you fill it up and within a couple of days it looses air this is because the tube is porous.So take the tube out fill it up with air and get flour and make sure rub all around the tube completely so the flour gets into the pores then take the air out and put it in the tire and you wouldn’t have the problem it also work for bicycle tube.

mud flap is nice, but better would be to find a flatbed truck driver (like me) and ask if they could give you some leftover "rubber belting" that stuff is crazy tough.

Slime does not keep a tire inflated when goathead thorns are everywhere. We have to do flat free tires.

I have a wagon that uses HF (harbor freight) tires, which loose all the air in... a week or so. I was considering replacing them with solid HF tires. Dumb question: why not substitute a solid tire for the pneumatic tire?

A 5" aircraft tire on a 3 piece Martin wheel assembly will outlast any modern air tire on a wheelbarrow. Municipal airports typically give these away when they wear down. Be sure not to get any with bald spots caused by a rough landing on the flight line.

@@sixtyfiveford this is the type of wheel I referenced. The hub is separate. These are made by Martin wheel. Go kart rims are more expensive than these. www.ebay.com/itm/192996085379

@@sixtyfiveford these are also available in 6", but the tires are almost too wide. These is the size tires I recommend. www.ebay.com/itm/173023908296
