| The inner tube had to wrap three times to fit underneath, and it just bulged and lifted on one side, the air being pinched off by the wrapping. I had a tube for a lawn tractor, but that one would never stretch around the base of the agitator, much less wind up with an accessible Schrader valve. I reasoned a 16" kids bike tube would be better than my 26" one, but the thrust of my effort is not to have to make a trip to town, or wait for something ordered on line. | |
