Got my Case iron wheels today, thanks Larry! Now, took them over to the tire store I use and no one there at time have seen these. Wanted them to remove old tires so I could clean/paint and want them to mount tires on when done. Old timer was out, had to leave to see what they can do with those. Are they special? Can use machine or just by hand? Any special techniques I can mention to the fellas??

One other thing....they REALLY ARE Heavy!! More than I expected!

I am not familiar with the wheels for your tractor, but the cast wheels used on the Ls in 35 to around 39 have a bead flange that is much higher than what was adopted as standard. The flange of the rim stands about 1 1/2" up from the rim where the bead seats. The standard is about 1". The result is if you try to pry a modern tire over the rim, you may damage the tire. The L wheels are made so that one of these flanges can be unbolted and taken off. You must do that on those wheels to prevent tire damage.

As I said, I am not familiar with your wheels, so if this does not apply to you, just ignore. You might want to measure that flange height just to make sure you are OK.

Yes, they are heavy, around 95 pounds each. You can use the tire machine on them. The biggest problem is getting the tire beads to pop out far enough. The tire bead is in and out all the way around the rim on the last set I had mounted.

when i did mine a month ago i used a center post tire machine. (your standard joe smoe tire changer) Didnt have any problems. took a litte lube and a couple tries to get the bead to seat right (and a couple tricks learned from my years working at the family repair shop). If they cant get the beads set the rim needs to be cleaned, the tire is the wrong size or the operator is incompitdent. I put 5.00-r15 on them. dont rember the brand.
