I have an old Cub Cadet lawn tractor. How difficult would it be to install a tube into the front tire? It is a 15 x 6 x 6 tire.The
actual O.D. of the tire is 14 1/2".
Thanks

Driz said:If you havent already done it try putting some talcum powder in there all over the tube before you shove it in. That will make it easier to put in and let it slide around freely and settle in without kinks and folds. If also keeps it from being pinched by the rim to some extent. There is no special way to put it on just plaster it up all over as best you can. It helps a lot.
Highbeam said:Like quads, I would suspect that the tire is flexible enough with a wide enough tread that you could just squeeze the bead of the tire together to slip the tube into the inside of the tire. Meaning, you won't need to pull the bead over the rim but just in towards the center. If you do have to pull the bead over the rim then be sure not to pinch the tube while putting the bead back on.
I've succesfully plugged tractor and mower tires with a plug kit. The rat tail style plugs that you shove in from the outside.
