fixing flats on garden rolling stock
 
Would like a web site that tells me how to fix punctures and sidewall rips
on garden rolling stock. Yeah, slime for punctures. Can I also use plugs?
I need to know the ins and outs of what to do (how to use the tools).

I just put tubes in a tiller tire and a trailer tire today. The trailer was
originally street worthy but I only use it off road behind a tractor now.

Take the tire off and run it up to your local superwally tire department.
That's what I did last time my lawn tractor had a flat. $5.00 to fix a flat
is cheap, and life is too short to waste time messing with it!!

3 of the 4 tires on my Garden Tractor have tubes in them. I tried plugging
one rear tire a few times, then went for the tube. No problems since.

Yep. $5 to fix it, $8 to drive there and back + the time to do so. It's way
faster to fix it at home, and costs next to nothing. Life is too short to waste
it driving and waiting for someone to be found to do the work.

Or one could just drop it off while driving past the place going somewhere
else anyway and then pick it up again when going past again the next day.
No travel costs at all that way.
