I had a very hard time to load more than one picture!

I like the way the tire man does our tractor tires here at work. Jacks it up, pushes on the sidewall with his boom crane to break the bead. Uses the spoons you show to take off one side of the tire, while the rim is still on the tractor, checks for what punchered the tube, installs new tube, reseats the one tire edge and airs up.
Easy peasy, well not really but he sure makes it look easy, he's been there doing it about 35 years.
 
I know those tire men make it look easy and that's the way to go if you have the money, but the old tractor that I'm fixing hasn't made me any money yet so I do it the hard way.
 
Back 50 years ago it took me longer to hunt up the bottle jack and a block of wood to jack up the back of the tractor to do rear tractor tire work than it took me to get the tire off the rim. But the tires were not rusted to the rims like they are now, interestingly enough, same tires on same tractors now 50 years later.

I take the rim off the wheel and take it to the tire shop to have the tire or tube repaired. They have a tire machine large enough to mount/dismount large rear farm tires, 20.8x46's, 35.5x32's. Handled my 12.4x38 and 13.6x38's easily.
