Tire guy had NO problem. Just jacked up the rear, took the tire off the rim and replaced it. (excluding pumping of fluid) He never took the rim off the tractor. Looked pretty easy. Tractor held the rim still for him. I had to take one off my Ford Jubilee tonight, figured I'd try it that way. It worked, tire's off, but MAN! Seems like I had to work twice as hard! I got the beads broke loose Ok, a little harder than most, but they were both free. The hard part was getting it over and off the rim edge. Anyone else ever tried it this way at home?

I've changed quite a few tires over the years, all types, but I have always taken the rims off and laid them down to to remove the tire. Live and learn! [Reply]  [No Email]

In many cases tasks on tasks like this the difference between DIY and professional is not much more that the experience, after you gain it the task gets easier you trade skill for labor.

An older guy, with shoulder problems, just doesn't get along all that well with a slide-hammer bead breaker, so we find it is easier to remove the tire/rim from the tractor, lay it down under the drawbar of another tractor, and then use a handy-man jack to break the beads, and if you can get your wife to stand on one side of the tire while you're working the opposite side up and over the rim, it really goes pretty fast.

Throw the soap away and get yourself some professional tire lube, the liquid stuff. Use it straight, dont dilute it with water. far slicker than any soap. [Reply]  [No Email]

Might take a time or two, but it gets easier. [Reply]  [No Email]
