How do I know if my tractor tire has a tube?
Look at the stem where it comes through the rim. If it looks like the one in Strech’s link, that’s a tubeless valve stem. If it is a bit longer, and has a nut on the outside, it’s a tube. Inner tubes have a nut on the valve stem to keep it from being pulled into the rim.
