Flat Tire Repair---------
I have some rear turf tires on my Cubs that seem to hold air for a day or 2 but eventually go flat. These are tubeless tires. I checked the valve stem areas and found no leaks. Then I checked the tread areas and found a nail in each tire. Then I got a tire repair kit from Slime with the short rubber "ropes" and installed them but am still getting leaks. does anyone have any tips on getting these things to seal???
Per directions I am-- --airing up tire and squirting with some soapy water finding leak --making sure that the tire is then clean in the hole area --using reamer in kit to clean hole lighty --install rope on tool at halfway point on the rope --apply rubber cement to rope at the tool area --push tool with rope installed till approx. 1/2 inch of rope tails are sticking out of tire --pull tool straight out leaving the rope repair in the tire --apply air gradually to fill tire to spec. -- mount and drive Anything I am missing??? Thanks!!!

The only way I have successfully repaired a tubeless tire is, as mentioned, put a tube in it or put a patch on the inside.
The patch looks like the one you put on a tube. I have also seen a plug/patch. It installs from the inside and plugs the hole as well as patches the area.

If the tires are old and cracked/leaking in mutiple areas, tube them and solve the problem. a reputable tire shop will not "plug" a tire, only patch. you tried the easy fix and it didn't work. no harm, no foul.

On any non-highway tire, always just put a tube in, it's easy, cheap, and an almost guaranteed fix.

The only thing i see missing is one of the manufacturers of those type of plugs suggested once all the way in to twist it to almost knot it on the other side i dont think there long enough for that but always do it that way sinceand ive patched several auto tires in the past without problem. You may have a slow valve spring leak you can try a pack of those cheaply and easier than a tube to start. Good luck!

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.
