How many people remember fire patches, let alone =done= one? I think my dad still has his patch clamp. :-) How about "boots"? Can't tell you how many pickup tires we booted let alone tractor tires. I've patched my truck tires with patch on patch on patch and still drove them until the steel cord was showing. :-) Used to take tractor tires down to a shop in S PHX where they'd hot-patch =massive= cuts in the sidewalls; literally re-vulcanizing a portion of the tire.

Your are not old at all if your tires had steel cords. I run them until you could the ply's of rayon. When they got to four we got a new used tire.
