I have a flat tire on my riding lawn mower. It's off the rim about a inch. I'm not sure what I need to do to fix it. It's one of the back tires.

first it probably came off the rim from low air. you need to fix the leak first. you need to remove the tire from the machine,take the tire off the rim with a screw diver(being careful not to poke the tube) this should be easy as it's already coming off.fill the tube with air and hold under water in the sink. patch kits are available at hdwre stores or circle k. after repair or if tube is not flat to start you need to release air and push tire back in place with fingers until it gets tough then use regular screwdriver to finish. fill with air. easier to take to tire repair 4or 5$ good luck.

How to change the tire on your own lawn mower and save $$$ Step by step procedures for removing and replacing a tire on a lawnmower. From the ...

The tire is separated from the rim and won't hold air to push against it. What is the trick? Do I need to use some sealant to insure the seal?
Thanks for the help. I used the belt and detergent to get the first seal.

if your tire is up against the rim and just not sealing. the auto parts store has bead sealer it is what the tire shops use it's liquid rubber I don't know if they have small cans because I just buy the quarts

is there a name brand foam in a can that will work to inject in a small tire / wheel that will not be used on highway.i know there are commercial co. out there to do this. has any one had good luck with doing it them self.
no fix a flat it makes a mess and that's about all.

MOTHER'S is the answer to the question. The Mother's company makes a tire filling foam. It is not a fix-a-flat type thing that only seals air leaks, it is an expanding foam material that fills the entire tire and makes it sort of a semi-solid rubber donut. It'll never go flat again. You can buy the stuff at Wal-Mart, Pep-Boys, and most farm tire and equipment retailers as well as racing and car enthusiast suppliers..

First put on the brakes then loosen the bolts for the wheel next jack it up and remove the bolts completely and then the wheel you may want to put a block or a stack of wood uner it to help support it. Then you got to the store and get a plug kit then fill it with air soak it in soapy water and look for the bubbles when you see bubbles thats the hole. Take the file looking thing from the plug kit and shove it in the hole in and out a couple times then hook one of the gooy strips at the mid point thru the loop on the onter tool and push it into the hole put not all the way you want about 1/2 inch of sticky plug to be sticking out next you pull the tool out and the plug will stay then air your tire back up and reverse the process of taking it off to put it back on.

I have an older Scotts riding mower that has the original 15x6.5-6.0 tires, which have rotted. I just went to Lowes and bought replacement wheel/tire sets, but they're 15x6.0-6.0.

I pulled the old wheels off and tried to slide the new wheels on and they don't fit on the axle. The hub hole is too small, won't go on.

Since the original size 15x6.5-6.0 tires are hard to find, I'm wondering if I can take the new 15x6.0-6.0 tires off of the new wheels and fit them onto my old 15x6.5-6.0 wheels. Will they fit?

By the way, what do all of those numbers indicate?

The 15 is the surface and the 6.5 is the wheel diameter. The 15x6.0 will not fit on the 15x 6.5 wheels. The diameter of the wheel will be too large. There is a bushing in the wheel that you may be able to change to fit your axle or ream it out to fit depending on the size difference.
I just looked at tiresunlimited.com and they have 6.5" tires. They may not have the 15x6.5 but they have 13x6.5 and 16x6.5. You may have to adjust the deck height but they would fit your wheels. 1ststoptires.com is another site that has 6.5" tires.
