If I per say, had a used tube that looked good, appears to of not been patched, and even holds air, but it's unknown how old it is, I wouldn't be using it again. Maybe for some other use, but not to go back into a tire again.
It's the age thing that would concern me.
Now grant it, you might of done the dis-mounting and mounting yourself and maybe will next time, but if you had a tire shop do that, the cost of doing so far exceeds the price of a new tube. On something such as a rear tractor tire anyways. It makes more sense to put in a new tube while you are there, than taking an unknown chance on a used tube that you really don't know how old it is.
If there is one place that you really shouldn't skimp by using an old used one, it would be this as far as I'm concerned. For me, and perhaps you also, it doesn't make much sense to try to use a used tube that may or may not be OK. If not OK, you won't really know until you put it to use after mounting the tire. And if its not OK then, it's gonna cost way more than the price of a new tube to fix. If not doing 'all' the work yourself that is. Even if doing all the tire work myself, I don't enjoy that kind of work that much.
Even my tire shop guys, don't advise using used tubes. Not even on my own work that they are not even doing. Maybe your tire shop guy has a different opinion.

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
