Changing a 23.1x26 rear tyre.

Can one man manage to change a 23.1x26 rear tyre (Massey Ferguson 97)on his own? Ive been told they are real difficult to change due to the small inside diameter. Any help or suggestions welcome.
 
I have done it by myself on my old 6600 JD combine and it is better with help.
With that being said, what I did was place the loader bucket close so when I pried the bead off of the rim, I had something to put the tire iron under so I could take the next "bite". (The rim was still bolted to the combine)
When I did the 28L-26 on my 6620, the rim was off of the combine and I used a clevis and a chain via the center hub rim mounting bolt holes to hold the first tire iron for the next bite.
Once the bead was off, I used heavy C clamps, the chain, and the loader to lift the tire up to attack the other bead and remove the tire completely.
It was about all that I wanted though.......

Sorry that I misspelled tyre....LOL
 
take your pick of profession...
tireman in this instance.

Now you just have to decide if you [i:b313f4ee2f]want[/i:b313f4ee2f] to... LOL
 
Bill I owned a farm tire repair shop for over 20 years--you are right they are 1 of the more difficult size tires to replace. If you are not experienced you may very well be ahead to have a professional switch them. They are far easier to change by yourself if the rim remains on the tractor.
