@@JodBronson I never said that, I'm just saying that there are things to go wrong with a pull start also. I just replaced the cord on my snowblower after it snapped, not a hard job, but it is something to go wrong. Replacing a battery or starter is just as easy, just more expensive. Still, it's a small price to pay for the ease and convenience that electric start brings.

Dude - every machine and tool will have "something go wrong" - that's the nature of a machine. You repair it and maintain it. Jordan is 100% right. Too many idiots are lazy and stupid anymore and cannot repair anything, and the very concept of having to fix something they cannot comprehend and just expect something to work forever without any effort from them to maintain it. Get over it.

Lawn tractor tires are tubeless, if they have dry rot and are cracked over the entire tire, then it's impossible to fix, so just save the trouble and money and pitch it in the bin and mount a new tire.

MrWolfSnack true you have your point, but I could do it and it worked and if you can't get the tire off to put on a new one this could possibly work then if it won't seal then there problem's.
