Ariens snowblower tire repair ?
Hello,
I have an Ariens Classic 24 snowblower that is about 3 years old. The one tire has a slow leak and goes flat after a couple weeks. Was wondering if these have tubes in them that can be repaired similar to a bicycle tire and how hard is it to get the tire actual tube out. Thx

It looks like it might have a tube but not certain. I would just keep filling it for now but do a soapy water test in warmer weather to see where the leak is, as that might help show the issue. Personally, I'm going to remove and patch a tube; slime is not a solution.

First you have to find the leak.
Could be a bad valve or a loose valve. This is the first thing I would check.
Could be a hole in the tire which you may be able to fix with a plug.
Could be a rim leak.
If it does not have a tube to patch you could probably install one.

The tires do not have tubes when shipped from the factory. In my opinion a tube is the best fix. Pick a tube that fits your tire diameter and width and has a schrader valve.

If that doesn't work then the hassle of installing a tube would be next!
