Default The oven as a tool
When I was racing , I de-carbonized the expansion chambers on a TZ 250 Yamaha in our self cleaning oven----------untill I got caught. Castrol R smells great no matter how you cook it !

LOL, yeah my wife asked me this morning why the house smelled like hot rubber. Told her she was crazy, must be allergies or something messing with her.

You'll start out cooking tires but by season 2 to keep viewers you'll be filling them with starting fluid and throwing matches at them! HAHA

If I had a can of that last night I would have been all over season 2, LOL. I was even contemplating WD40, but I don't think it is as explosive.

Any have a tubeless tire pop the bead out in a plow day field or in the middle of nowhere?

I have.

They can be a pain to air back up. Not worth the aggervation in my book. Any tire I install on a rim will get a tube....reguardless of what the tire side wall says. Cheap insurrance in my book.

Nope, can't say I have, and I really don't ever see that happening to this one as we have few to no plow days around here. The 128 will more than likely have a very easy life from here on out. It's like most anything, it just boils down to personal preferences. I hate tubes, I hate messing with them. If that means I have to spend a few extra minutes to fix an unseated bead, that will be fine.

My 73 fronts were so roached I had to tube them because of the holes in the rim but tubeless to me is the way to go too, they shouldn't break the bead unless they are aired down but I know some of us are running some dry rotted tires too that leak a little but so I see the other side. i agree with the skinnies and steering effort, it almost feels like half to me!

I was like you Dwayne, where I just didn't care for tubes either and did not install them in my tires. However, when I pull a tubeless tire off of a rim, I can't help but notice the corrosion that the moisture from the air has done over time to the rim, but when I pull a tire that has had a tube in it off of a rim, then I notice a significant difference in the corrosion level on the rim. So, I am leaning toward what Merk said and putting tubes in on all of my tires as I can afford to replace them for that reason. It is, of course, personal preference, but I just wanted to offer the corrosion level as input for a more informed decision. Life isn't about making the right choices, no one ever does....it's more about making the choices right for ourselves. So I certainly respect your decision to not put tubes in your tires.

My Cub Cadets earn their keep around my house. I forgot about the corrosion level that tube less tires leave.

It doesn't have to be a plow day to pop a bead....

As you said each their own.

I'm dreading installing the 4 tires. I have about the same kind you have, and if there is a how to, or any good tips that don't quite make the all pro tec section, I'd love to read all about it!

I use tubes in my 72. I was thinking about a liquid ballast , and if I ever do come across a flat, I can just patch the tube.

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.
