I have done dozens of tractor tires. This 15.5 - 38 is giving me some problems. Tire/rim is on the tractor. The rim is not rusty. Put a new tube in the tire. Had problems on both the outside and inside of the rim where about 16 inches wouldn't entirely push outward on the bead area of the rim. Finally got the outside to pop out. Inside still will not go with about a 12 inches showing a gap. Been using dish soap to get it slippery. Then tried vegetable oil. Drove the tractor a mile. Tires are not new but the inside carcass is perfect. No damage to outside except for some checking, but still didn't want to go over 25 psi at inflation to get the tire on the bead. Should I go more psi? My last two options are to keep breaking the tire off of the inside and try again and again and lastly push the tire back enough to get a angle grinder in with a wire brush to smooth it up more. Remember the rim is not rusty. Any more tricks I should be using? Thank you.

The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
