This is how I use automatic transmission fluid to seal up a cracking mower tire

  • We always did it on the outside. I never seen it done this way. This is an old farmers trick when you have wagons and trailers and tractors setting out in the sun getting cracked. Thanks for sharing your tricks .

    All it does is swell the rubber. It's used on buna nytryl O rings in air rifles too. The solution is not to let it rot in the first place by spraying silicone oil inside and outside the tyre on a regular basis. Wipe off the excess outside. Silicone grease rubbed into the tyre wall works even better. Power steering fluid does the same job. The problem is with a tyre as bad as that is when the wall flexes it WILL leak. A mower tyre fine but please not on ANY type of road vehicle tyre including trailers.
  • Thanks for the info sir. Not long ago I paid $40.00 for 2 new tubes wish I had known this trick. Great videos sir.
  • Good quick fix. I tried a product called “flat out” on a mower tire that was dry rotted on the sidewalls. The consistency is similar to “Slime”. I flopped the tire around on its side and drove it around for a few minutes. That’s been 2 years ago and haven’t had to add ANY air since. 👍
  • That's a good tip! Never would have thought of this. Thank you!

    My routine is to put air in my mower tires every time I do the lawn. I'm cutting this morning and I'm going to start off with this trick that you were so gracious to share with us 👍✌️🇺🇲

    Been looking for a fix for this problem. This looks like it's a fix. Very cool.
  • My Daddy used brake fluid to "recondition" rubber on the outside of car tires that had dry rot. Might work on the inside too. Thanks for the tip. Subscribed.
