Sounds like James could tell us more about tubes but chose not to. Jim N. has some good info. I have also heard of driving a tractor/vehicle onto the sidewall of a tire/wheel to break the bead for tire removal. Well, here is my $500+ cents worth. I have a [1951 CA Allis Chalmers it is ok to use this tractor brand inside the non-offending brackets] that had leaky and severely rusted rim. Tire shop did the work as fluid is hazardous in more ways than one. Rim was slightly thicker than Reynolds Wrap for six+ inches from stem. Adjustable/primed/painted rim w/new tire as old was as porous as a seive and it was quite the bill. My late dad thought I shouldn"t get rid of fluid in other tube, but I said I don"t want to spend $$ on another tire/rim, etc. as it is cheaper to get rid of fluid now and you can"t see the pending damage to a leaking tube until it is to late. On my Farmalls I have purchased weighs. Friend had leaky-dry rotting tire rupture directly onto him with caustic fluid. Yup, he took the direct hit!! He said if the tire had ruptured "on the road..." well, he didn"t want to think about it. He was fortunate to just have to walk a few miles back to the home place with soaked body and irritated eyes. In the long run, a new tube/tire is cheap...compared to a round of golf and the 19th hole or something much worse. You must have a 300U? by Jim N"s posting??
