Recommendations around Birmingham? Snapped off the valve stem on a front tire today.

Good luck. If it’s got the heavy duty valve stems I had to buy some before anybody could touch em. I got a bunch of the valve stems you’re welcome to. Most shops could fix it they just didn’t have the right parts. I think we live pretty close

Just buy the valve stem then run the tire off the rim. Remove tire from tractor replace valve stem then spray something flammable in tire and blow it back on rim. Shouldn’t be that hard my tractor at work has been bad about going flat lately and I can have it aired up in 20 minutes now. Valve stem can’t be too hard to replace.


Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

And video this please. It works. Ive done it to skidder tires. Some of tgem jumped 5ft off the ground. Spray some either inside the tire, leave a little trail of it to the outside of the tire. Put a flame to the little trail and put the air to it quick. If you make it through it, you will have learned some true redneck ingeniuity

Thanks, May take you up on this if I get in a bind. Think I found a guy that will fix it, but not 100% yet.

Is there a separate nut on the inside of the stem, or all one piece? I couldn’t get the outside nut off, due to the way the stem broke off/flared out. Started to cut it off with a grinder, but didn’t know what I was getting into.

Reckon my insurance policy would cover me, when I burned the tractor trying to do this?

Just use anything flammable it doesn’t need to be ether or lighter fluid. I’ve used bug spray and my new favorite is spray paint.

We do this all the time on trailer truck tires . PLEASE BE CAREFUL.!! can’t say this enough. Spray too much an u blow it off rim an could get hurt . Ether is best spray . Need have air hose hook to it before light it up . Small front tractor tires don’t need much .

I’ve always tightened a ratchet strap around the tire and took the valve stem out to seat it

So, there's a nut on the backside when you grind off the outside nut then the stem will fall out of the hole in the rim, then you will need to retrieve the left-over valve stem.
