Kubota L3010 - Remove front tire?

[phillyd2]

One of the front tire has a slow leak so I need to remove to have it fixed. Never having done this, whats the best way? I'm thinking - loosen all nuts, use bucket to raise front end, slide in a couple of jack stands, remove wheel from tractor.

Does this sound ok?

Sounds like you have it covered

Will the bucket lift high enough?

The obvious thing would be to try a dry run and then you will know

Get a small tube that just fits over the valve stem. Take the core out of the valve stem and dump some a pint of liquid starch into the tire. Re-install core and fill with air. Drive it around a bit. Search Liquid starch tire repair for more info.

Go to local TSC or most anywhere now days and get you a bottle or jug or Slime. Unless the hole is big enough to throw a cat thru the Slime will seal it up. I sealed a hole in a tire last year that had a stick in it about the size of my little finger. There's lots of different ways to fix a flat tire but it doesn't get much easier than Slime.
