While back, there was a posting about mounting/safety rear tires by yourself. I did few in the past and it was never an easy thing.
This time, however I was fortunate to acquire a tractor tire jack. It was one the best $100 I spent. Even for an 81 years old f*rt like me, mounting the tires by myself was a walk in the park. I am sure that many of you seasoned tractor guys have one, but for those who do not, if you have a chance to find one, grab it it is worth it.
Here is a pic of the method I use. My tractor shop is not wide enough to slide the jack, so I used 2x10 in the dirt for runners. I used the loader to stand it up, then just roll it in the ramp and let it fall in the jack cradle.
