My local mom-and-pop tire store won't do a simple plug repair, the type where you don't dismount the tire. They told me they have been warned about it many times. I did a Google search for "tire repair lawsuit" and the first site to come up was a site by the Carabin Shaw law firm. It lists several lawsuits where people have been awarded millions of dollars.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
