Mounting tires is easy; it's the dismounting that's hard. Get one of those tire hammers. You will never regret it. Put some oil on the bead of the tire, and the rim and the bead and jam the tire on the rim. Hit the bead a couple of times and you're done. I put a thin coat of vasoline on the rim, not the tire, and then silicon on the bead of the rim first. The vasoline will keep the silicon from sticking to the rim , so that the next time you change the tire, It will come off easily. It will even seal a badly damaged tire bead. It is also very slick, and makes it easier to seat the beads. Next time you demount your tire, you will see your nice clean rim without a spot of rust. If you get a little silicon on the tire, don't wipe it off. Wait till it dries and use a twisted wire wheel in a drill to take it off. It comes off very easily that way. Before I air up the tire to seat the beads, I spray wd40 all the way around the bead area. A clip on air chuck comes in handy too. Take out the valve core, so that the air flows faster. You will have to take out the valve core depressor out of the air chuck.I also have a regular clip on air chuck. Sometimes it helps to hit the tire with that big hammer on the tread while you seat the bead with the air flowing in the tire at the same time. If all else fails, I use carb cleaner, haha. That never fails!

As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
