Murphy's Law caught up with me today. I was bush hogging out back and my steering went crazy. Shut the tractor down and was greeted with a psssss from my right rear tire. The left drag link had fallen out from under the center link. Excuse my terminology if I'm not describing this correctly. By the time I got the steering reconnected the tire was flat. I couldn't get enough air in with a portable tank, so the tractor is stranded for now. I hope to get a truck with a compressor out here tomorrow. Then repair the steering later. I will spare you the many details of trying to get the tractor home...but Murphy didn't fail me.....at least 5 more times.

I've had good results with that green goop you put in tires to plug holes.

if the hole in the rear is big enough to hear a psssss . then you got a big hole.. a compressore probably won't help ya.. you may be stuck making a farm call, or pulling the rim and dismounting or taking in to get a patch and boot.

A tire on my 7610s did that.. and i couldn't put air in it faster than it blew out... Like to have kille dme getting the tire / rim to the tire co...

Good luck.
