    You're the man, Doublewide! I had almost run out of curse words trying to get that tire filled.

    So after about an hour trying several different futile methods I was about to head to harbor freight for new heavy duty yard cart wheels and tires. Well I found this video before going and now I have the tires inflated again I love you

    Thanks DW! I used a ratchet tie down strap instead of a rope. Did it right on my snow blower didn't even bother to remove the wheels. Jacked it up with a couple of 2 X 4's, wrapped the strap around the middle of the tire(s), gave it a fair squeeze with the ratchet and bingo. Took 5 minutes per tire. Two things: put just enough air in the tire so it begins to inflate and use a channel locks to spring the ratchet. It gets really tight you don't want your fingers in the way of the handle when it's released.

    Thank you very much for the video, i just went to fix my old wheelbarrow flat tire after seeing your video and the flat tire was fixed in 5 minutes with my compressor. I am very happy that i can fix this myself and don 't have to buy anything.

  • @hootinouts
    @hootinouts 8 лет назад +1

    Thank you Doublewide6. This is exactly what I was facing. I loaded up my wheelbarrow full of dirt and didn't notice the tire was underinflated. The added load must have broken the bead and it went totally flat. Thanks again for sharing this awesome tip.

    Here it is 6 years later and your video helped me out! RUclips cracks me up. I used a ratchet strap and it worked fine. Thanks bud!

  • @tommeyer9995
    @tommeyer9995 6 лет назад

    Many thanks. Prior to heading out to the hardware store to ask for help, I thought I would check RUclips. Your method worked perfectly. Both tires inflated in about 15 minutes. Bravo.

    Both of the front swivel tires on my rider had gone flat & broken the seal. I thought I was going to need new ones, so I started calling up mower shops & it was going to cost me anywhere from $70 to $120 with installation. Then I found your video, & I'm pretty sure this will work! Thank you so much!

  • @zindude
    @zindude 8 лет назад +4

    Brilliant! thanks much for posting this. My utility cart tires both were flat and I thought I needed a special tool to fix so tried the local tire shop and they wouldn't help with it. The hardest part about this was finding where I had hidden the rope in my garage. :-)

    After buying 2 new wheelbarrow tires that didn't fit, and then contemplating just buying a new wheelbarrow, I found your video. I am 5 ft tall and pretty handy around this house but this video made me feel very proud. It totally worked!! thank you doublewide6!!!

    @HudsonAnsley 9 лет назад +1

    Thanks for this video! I have a hand truck I need to use this weekend, and with this very cold weather both tires were flat. After watching your instruction I was able to inflate both tires with a bicycle pump!
    And just in case this might be helpful to others: it was easier for me to do this with the tires left on the hand truck because I could leave the lever tight against the frame while I then pumped up the tire.

    I was having trouble getting a new lawn tractor tire to seat, I got a piece of rope and followed your instructions, in no time at all the bead seated and the tire is back on the tractor. Thanks for the tip, I watched several videos that used ether and didn't feel comfortable playing with fire, clever but seemed like overkill for such a small tire, again, thanks.

  • @gulfbeach47
    @gulfbeach47 8 лет назад +1

    Have used this method a few times and it always works great. Today I discover that I can fix the tire w/out removing the tire. Just make sure you can jack it up, have space to work and some type of compressor. I keep a cheap $20.00 portable compressor in my car. It works for auto tires and has plenty of power to do flat mower tires that are off the rim, but gotta use the rope around tire.

Bingo, there is your idea and darn if it don't work without the need to find the ether (or other flammable gas). Thanks. Been meaning to re-inflate a tire on my wood chipper for the longest time but kept putting it off. Now I can roll that sucker right out of the shed with no problem.

    It worked for me, all by myself on a 14" wheelbarrow tire, using only a hand pump. And I'm just a 100 lb woman! But I did follow the suggestion that someone made below, to wipe clean the rim and inner edge of the tire with a damp rag, to clean any debris that might prevent a good seal. Thanks very much!!!
