i try to find the leak with the tire overinflated a little and a spray bottle with water and dish soap - for a nail or thorn ,a strip tire plug will fix
If it is a seeping rim break the bead a little and paint with rusty metal primer then RTV or bead sealer

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm? Took the tire off & de-fluted it, I then took some black (high heat cause that's all I had) silicone & spread it very sparingly around both sides of the rim. Spread it with my finger & got a spread about a good 1/2" on the rim. 24 hours later it holding air, not a lb., lost
Saved me tearing down the tire & sanding the rim. It's the lazy way but......

It works

Nik,

Nik,
Don't expect that to last very long...I had a couple tires someone had done that to. May have worked initially, but they wouldn't hold air at all by the time I got ahold of them.

I know, I know-- what will happen is that when it's 10 below & I'm blowing snow it will go flat. NO WAIT.....................................?

I'm gonna sell it& it will hold till i do?
I'm sticking with my # 109-blower attachment & my newly acquired # 127- plow attached.

Nik,

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.
