I just replaced the front tires on my Ford 8N. One was decent the other was shredded, although the tube had only one hole in it. Decided to try replacing them myself. I watched a few youtube vids but I pretty much knew how to do it.
Ordered some inexpensive ($99 for tires and tubes) in the 4.00 - 19 size off the internet. They got here in three days, I barely had the tires off the tractor. The tractor just is used on a 125 bu. manure spreader every other day to unload on a pile, no hard use, so cheapies are fine (Thailand made, tubes from Korea).
I used the front loader to break down the beads and flat bars to pry them off. The good one was good inside, looks like the last time someone was in there they cleaned it up. The other had heavy rust. I wire wheeled it and patched some small holes with JBWeld and painted both. On the good rim the tire went right back on. On the other the tube had a pin hole leak, took it off and patched it, put it on, still leaked. On the second try I probably pinched it, but had some other tiny pin holes too. Ended up using the old tube from the good old wheel for the third try.
While I had the rims off I took off the hubs and inspected and greased them the bearings and painted the hubs and lug nuts.
All in all I think it was worth while for the money saving and the experience doing it.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
