breaking the bead on those big agg tires is a lot of work for the casual tractor owner.

You can either take the whole wheel off and tote it down, or just the rin if it is an easy to remove loop style rim.

You could also call for a farm service.. though those usually have a 50-75$ service charge in my area.

If the tire survives removal, the tube and prep work should be fairly mild.. but get a phone quote anyway..

You may need to wire wheel around the stem hole depending on if it is rough.

On my 8n I bought a handfull of large flat washers and they slid a 'perfect' sized one over the valve stem and it rides between the base o fthe stem and the rim hole securely. My rear rim was good, but I wanted a little extra comfort, as someone enlarged the hole with a drill at one time and made it finger sized.
