While pushing snow today with the tractor. I backed over a 3/4inch peace of rebar and punctured
the rear tire. A pie shaped hole about the size of my thumb between the cleats. Tire shop said can't fix. New 11.2x24 $149.00 + tube. Tire had less than 190 hours run time on it. Anyone have any ideas for a farm fix on this? Thanks.

can't fix it, or won't fix it? I'd call around and find another tire shop.

Look for a large patch plug this is like a boot and plug all in one should fix the problem

Gemplers sells a rubber putty kit. It might seal the tire from the outside, along with using the boot on the inside. Anyone out there tried the stuff? It"s $49.50 per kit in the latest catalog P 523. Jim

Is it that the tire shop can't patch the tire, or that it isn't really worth patching? I was quoted a price of about a hundred bucks just for the blowout patch, plus labor for a flat I had about a year ago. Granted, that was a bigger hole than you describe. So in my case with a tire that had 25% tread left, it really wasn't worth fixing. Yours, at 150 bucks new, is sort of a coin toss, because if the first patch doesn't stick, then you're into the cost of a new tire. That's a very good price you were quoted as well, as I priced several 12.4x24's yesterday that ranged from 275 for a 4 ply bias to 640 for a 1* radial. Those are priced in Canadian dollars. Think I'd just get the new tire and be done of it. FWIW,

Rod

Take it to a recap shop. They will do a section repair by cooking in new rubber and reenforcing it with a boot. Thats the proper way. If you just put a boot on the inside moisture will be able to get to the cords and you will eventually have other problems. A section repair should cost about $40 if you bypass the tire store to send it in for you. Remember that everyone that handles that tire wants a "piece of the pie".

I have seen section repairs done. This vulcanizes in a new piece of rubber. I think they do them at the same shops that do retreading. That is not that big and a boot would be worth a try for the do it yourselfer.

Put a boot over the hole. A boot is just a big patch, they come in a lot of sizes. I have done that to a number of tires that where to good to throw away but had a hole in them. Then if you really want to do it right put a liner in too.

We had a WILLING tire dealer when we did that exact same thing.. to the same size tire I might add

we booted it. tube in the tire for sure.. and put silicone glue in the hole... that was 6 yrs ago its still working... ( it was our backhoe loader's tire so it gets spun some)

Thanks for all the responds. I bought the new tire but I kept the old one to fix later. I did not know about section repairs used on recapped tires.I always thought the tire carcass had to be in perfect shape to be used for a recap. I will look for a local recapper to see about fixing it. If not It will get a boot put in it. Its like every thing else. No one wants or can't fix anything just wants to sell new. The tire place I took it to was not your chain type car and mini van tire store. Its a place that deals with trucks and off road equip. And has field service trucks. I was expecting if it could be fixed they were the most likely ones to do it.
Thanks again.
