Thanks for all the reply's. Going to clean up the old tubes and make sure they are not leaking. Hope they go back on rims easier than they came off. Used to change dirt bike tires with tubes years ago and it was very easy to pinch the tube. Tomorrow I will be sanding the rims and then paint them. Hope I get it all finished before the next snow storm hits. Thanks again everyone and have a great day.
Bob

For all the more tubes cost I would buy new ones, that's alot of work to go through to have a leak.

I always blow some air in new tubes to stretch them a bit and then remove the valve core ans squeeze air back out. Seems to help make them a little easier to work with. And I try to use something rounded and not sharp incase you do hit tube while putting rim back on wheel. And use a t style valve core tool to hold stem from falling into wheel and keeping it straight while remounting tire. Good luck!!

Default Olds45512 ,by washer fluid, I assume that you mean....
windshield washer fluid (the blue stuff) because of its anti-freeze properties? Just curious, do you happen to remember what the liquid capacity of a typical (23 x 10 x 12 ) rear tire is in gallons or quarts? I've also heard of someone using beet juice to fill their rear tires, any idea why beet juice wouldn't freeze? Thanks, Paul from Providence

Here's the stuff:

Seems to be good stuff. I believe the site has a locator to help find a dealer near you.


Edit:
No locator, but a phone # to find a dealer and ask questions.

I have tubes in all mine. I dont know why, but I do.

Mo weight mo better.

The last time I loaded a set I used a garden sprayer (thanks to tips on this site). Took the tip off and had a short section of tubing from the sprayer that slipped over the valve stem. Pump it up and it pushes right in. No mess. Washer fluid about 5 gals per tire.

Yes but it has to be the winter mix, the summer stuff will still freeze. I got 6 gallons each into my 23x8.50-12 tires.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
