was at auction yesterday and there was quite the inventive tire patch on a rear tire on a Farmall H that was on the bill

My dad made several patches like years ago when he didn,t have the money for a new tire.Surprisingly it lasted a good number of years.

That is what a friend of mine refers to a Frankenstein patch. We have a MH44 that has a tire like that on it

Guaranteed to rust out before it will bust out!
Very common in 3rd world countries (and redneckparts of America....LOL no offence!) where it is difficult to find a tyre or a repair shop. In parts of Africa there is a thorn bush that slices tyres to pieces. My neighbour is just home from working all his life out there planting sugarcane. He told me some of the tractors had so many steel braces on the tyres that they might as well be on tracks!
Looks like it saved that tyre and the owners pocket for a long time.

What keeps the bolts from poking the tube?

Maybe a carriage bolt with a second chunk of tube for a buffer?

When I bought my SC case the fellow had patched the rot hole on the right rear by gluing a piece of lawnmower tire on the inside. I ran it like that for several months before buying new tires for it.

Use a carriage bolt

Anonymous-0 · Aug 4, 2013

I patched a Zero turn rear tire, like that, 2 small carriage bolts, and a piece of steel across the rip (bottom of a beer bottle speared it. 2 big patches over the carriage bolts, and a tube that was almost the right size, lasted a coupla months, till the clanking of the bolts, on pavement, drove me crazy enough to put new tires on!

Was at an auction, one time, front tire on a IH140, was literally laced with baling wire, all the way around, the center rib was ripped about 180 degrees around the tire! Auctioneer called it a steel belted radial!

We had a 18.4 x 34 we patched similar to that. Got it from the tire store junk pile. It had about 200 hrs on it when it got cut. The owner just bought another new tire. We used it for a dual.
