I have had the old tractor for 15+ years I think. Never had an issue with the rear ag tires. Have a valve stem leaking and the kid at the tire shop asked me if it has a tube. I have no idea. Did the factory tires come with a tube? He is going to break it down tomorrow, and find out. Basically if it just needs a stem, she will be back up and running tomorrow. If it needs a tube, will take a day to get it in.

THanks

Wouldn't have a clue without seeing it and apparently with whatever
type of valve that's on is on it makes it difficult for the tire tech to tell.
I'd assume it has a TR218A valve which is common on rear tractor tire tubes
to make ballast filling it easier with less hassle. That valve is also commonly
used in a tubeless applications so looking at it from the outside you many
times can't tell which it is.
