I had two tires on a cub that I purchased that had great tread but big splits in the sidewalls from sitting on flats. I bought two tubes and for $5 or $10 a tire, the local tire store took the tires off the rims, put the tubes in, installed them back on the rims and inflated them for me. Still riding high!
Take a little bit of time to price check tubes (ag stores have them and maybe your local tire shop will, too), call your local tire shop and see how much for their bill; shop on craigslist for something local to purchase or check with any lawnmower repair shop for some quick fix. Whichever is most cost effective to get you back in action, then that is what I would do before your grass gets out of control. Cub Cadet 123

The best deal I can find on tubes is about $18 bucks. I've already searched Craigslist and asked the one local shop I'll deal with (I won't deal with the other) and they didn't have used tires. I will ask them how much they'll charge for installing the tube (they wanted 25 for a tube), as I don't really relish that job if its tricky or could damage my tube.
The split is radial, running parallel to the tread in the center of the tread. I doubt slime will work because I don't think it'll hold air long enough for the slime to set up. Its a pretty quick leak.

I bought some tubes from summitracing for $5 apiece. not sure how much they are for your size, but doubt its much more. best bet is to put a wanted ad on craigs and find another set of rims and tires off something else. they used that rim and tire on everything for years.

Take it to a little hole in the wall tire place and see if they can put a tube in it for cheap.

I was quoted $12 for putting the tube in. I looked at Summit and don't see anything for less than the $17.23 tube from Sears, once I figure in shipping from Summit. So $30 bucks to get rolling, I guess, unless I decide to try doing it myself. For $12 I'm inclined not to

I don't need to spend 5-6 bucks. I already have some Slime. I'll take another look at it but I don't think Slime will work if it wont hold any air for more than a few seconds.

And ruined what was left of the tire.
Have you ever broke down a tire with slime in it, then tried to patch it or put a tube in it? You can't. It softens the rubber and vulcanizes it. You can't patch it after it's been slimmed. Then, the inside is so nasty and sticky, putting a tube in is near impossible. Only way I'd ever use that green is if I was desperate and was going to replace the tire anyway. |

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.
