Can't Find Tire Leak

[gfd63]

Had the similar problem on my S110 rear wheel. Did the soap bubble trick & even submerged it in a metal wash tub. No apparent leak. Put it back on the mower few days later flat again. Dealer suggested bent rim outa round ever so slightly. I eventually wound up replacing mine with a new tire/rim. No problems ever since.

Time to either buy a new tire or put Slime in the tire you have. Slime is high viscosity and will seep very slowly through wherever your leak is located. You may never see Slime on the outside of the tire. It may totally fix your leak.

Had exactly the same symptoms on my JD X-370 left rear. Not a huge Slime fan, but it fixed the problem. That was two years ago . . .

Leave Rim leak detection for a few minutes before looking. I use Windshield Washer fluid or Snoop if you can get it.
Don't forget the Tread and sidewall areas and Valve Core.

OLD thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, pretty fresh.

Didn't see why 15 pages were needed on a leaky most likely dry rooted worn out tire.

When the kid at the farmer's CO - OP told me about the side walls and they couldn't patch those those new tires because of the material the manufacturer made them of it was a no-brainer . Tube time and that's when i discovered my drill press was a valuable piece of equipment to hold the wheel . SAY WHAT lol You'll figure that out . That's right , valve stem in first and if ya don't have a stem retainer a strong string with a clove hitch knot around the threads works real well . If the stem wants to go into hiding he can because he can be led back into the hole .
