We have one tire shop left in town that isn't full of idiots...

The lady that runs the office is 78 years old and grew up in the business...

Only two guys in the shop.. one is 76 the other is 58... they are tire gods... they can do anything with any tire no matter what size..

I have watched the older guy mount many tires manually... anything from an 18 wheeler to a combine... he never breaks a sweat and works like magic... Told me once "you have to love it on the rim".. "little taps and prying in the right spot"... he says "if you gotta fight it... you doing it all wrong"!

I don't know what I will do when they finally do retire... I will be lost!

8 more shops in town... all a bunch of morons!!

We are pushing 300,000 people in my county, 1,000,000 to the county to the southeast, about 140,000 to the county towards the southwest. With all that many people, finding a tire shop to even sell you a tube is challenging----impossible on a Sat. I needed one to fix a hay wagon tire one Sat. You wouldn't believe the sermons I got on why you can't put a tube in a 15-16" tire, how nobody makes them, it would be illegal if I ever pulled it on the highway. I rarely give up, but that day I did. Thank the Lord we have a couple TSC in a small neighboring county now in case I NEED something to get back going.

You know the saying about if you argue with an idiot, then folks might be not able to tell who is who, I just shut up and hung up the phone. It was a couple shops that thought it was the craziest request ever. I only know of one shop in my county that does non-auto tire repairs, and he is closed on Sat.

Antifreeze from your local auto repair shop they have 55 gallon drums of it used out back they will give it to you for next to nothing if not for free. The beet juice smells bad when you go to change the tires and only lasts so long.

There is an attachment you can get to pump fluid directly into the tire. It has a relief button to release pressure, letting air out as the fluid is pumped it. I use an inexpensive submersible pump and a bucket.

That's an idea with the pump, garden hose and nozzle adaptor- I have a pump already. I called Rim Guard and apparently the stuff is about the thickness of 5 weight oil, so it can be pumped or poured. Since I got the bead broken anyway to change the valve stems I'll just stick that stuff in haha.

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.
