I realise that a rear tire is a dam shame to have to cough up some cash for, but sometimes ya gotta give in. I can't say I would risk patching it, but I haven't been put into the situation again. If you do fill it, get one of the tire chucks you can just latch on and do just that, then walk to the other side of the tractor. If it happens to blow, atleast you're on the other side. If it were a smaller tire on a wagon or anything else, I would replace it in a heartbeat. We run 'em till they cant be fixed because of the cracking or they blow up. Most of the time, they just get to cracked to be fixed safely. We do have some 20-30 year old tires on some wagons here though, and an even older implement tire on our old Van Brunt grain drill. the other side blew out about 3 years ago, otherwise it still had a matched pair of Firestone 7.50-16 implement tires on it, most likely from the early 60's at the latest, possibly original equipment on the drill. It was always kept in a dirt floor shed, and backed up onto wood planks for storage.
