actually closer to 18 miles, and all back roads thru a lil town.
our local stores do have 16" tubes.. however thay are big tubes.. for 5.5, 6 and 7 tires.
this tractor would have had a little 4-15 tire.. however it currently has teensy car temp tires on them.. T120 70 D15 tires. very, very small. it really needed a 4-15 tube. a 6-16 tube would have been all wadded up inside that tire.
lil rim is only about 3" wide it seems..
principle sounds good.. but after working on a tire I'm dirty.. that means I have to go spend 20 minutes to clean up and put different shirt and pants on.. then run to town and burn just shy of 2 gallons of diesel ( 3.89 per gallon ).
thus I'm spending near an hour and a half and 7.78$ to prove a point?
I have a box of patches and tubes of glue that dry up every year if i don't use them.
twas worth my time to stay home and work on something ellse while tube was glueing, and then try to slap it on later. if it failed an inflation test after the patch, before I re-installed it, then it could take a ride with me to work next time I was in town and could justify that trip and fuel. during the weekend when i may only have 2 hours at a time to work on a tractor here and there.. hard to justify burning 1.5 hours of it proving a point. besides. at least a half an hour would have been burned just finding out it was bad int he first place.. meaning.. i'd be pullignthe tube out and running to town, only to get back and not even be able to work on it.

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
