Allan: Had a feeling you were close to my age, so bear in mind you should act your age. Changing the tires and wheels are a job for equipment and if you don't have the equipment, you best bring in help.

A good way I find to handle heavy items like this is a pallet jack along with some good hardwood pallets and ratchet tie down straps. You can put a tire like 18.4x38 in upright position on pallet, nail lumber to pallet each side of tire and anchor top every direction to pallet. With 3 pallets you can do same with the cast wheel.

I have taken the entire front of my 560 from clutch housing foreward in one piece, using pallets and a jack. Great investment for older guys with old iron.
