John Deere fb drill

ksujdfarmer · Oct 5, 2014

I recently bought a John Deere fb drill and the rubber press
wheels need replaced.I can't seem to get the new ones to go on
so I need some suggestions on how to do it

Slather 'em up with rubber lube, set your jaw just right, and go after 'em with some thin tire irons or pry bars.

(Swearing MAY help.)

Wouldn"t hurt to mount them solid in a vise when trying to get the tire on.

Stick wheels in freezer for a couple days or better on dry ice for an hour or two and also warm tires in hot hot water to help soften em .

Just so you know your drill is a FB-B not FB

I have tried everything. The only way to do it,is to have a large container of boiling water and boil them until they are soft and use insulated rubber gloves and they will go right on. I use the burner for a turkey cooker and put the water in a section of a drum that I cut off. Works good. I usually boil them for 20 - 30 minutes.
