It SHOULD be able to be dismounted and remounted. I said SHOULD. If the tire has been on the rim for
30+/- years, allowed to be flat for many years, left in the sun many years, has a lot of weather
checking etc. it might not be a good purchase.
That said, I have had three bad experiences with old tractor tires being dismounted. The first two were
a tire dealer (not name brand). I had taken 5 tires to be dismounted. 3 were scrap 2 of which were on
desent original Ford rims. 2 tires were nice and had matching tread. I wanted to clean the original
rims and then remount the pair of matching tires.
When I went to pick up my tires, one of the "keepers" had a broken bead. I mean the steel wire was
completely destroyed. Dealer said it was that it was rusty and broken. NOT! He let it sit out in the
weather a week after he, or his help, broke it.
Another time, later, I watched his pothead help run the pneumatic bead braker knock the bead off the rim
and kept the pressure on and drive the steel right through the side wall. His answer? Rotten rubber.
I have never been back.
2nd dealer: I had bought a nice pair of tires on Craigslist but on rims useless to me. Their tractor
tire specialist clamped a bead breaker onto the rim a a spot where the rim was slightly bent. Instead
of pushing the bead off the rim it drove through the sidewall above the bead. I have never been back.
I have found a 3 dealer. They have been GREAT!

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
