Before you take it apart, note whether or not the lock ring has a gap; some did, some did not. After you meticulously clean the gutter and the lock ring with a knot wheel on a 4 inch grinder, test fit the ring on the rim and see if the gap in the ring looks the same as it did before you took it apart. Make sure there are no dents in the gutter from either you or a former owner pounding the rim out of the tire. The lock ring must be able to lay flat and true in 100% of the circumference of the gutter, not supported by the bumps of careless disassembly. Once the beads are broken and the lock ring removed, get a straight tire iron or a very large screwdriver and work it down between the rim and the flap, because the flap may be rusted to the rim and prevent disassembly. Squirt soapy water wherever you have the flap lifted. Depending on where you live, salt wise, you may not have this much trouble. If you are using spoons to break the beads, and you have a lot of rust flying on the lock ring side, go around a couple more times. The more rust you knock out now, the easier the rim will come through the second bead. The rust makes the diameter of the rim larger, and you will have to stretch the second bead over this diameter if you dont get rid of it now. Once everything is rust-free and lubricated, the rim will drop right through the tire with a minimum of effort. Finally, when airing up the tire, cut the air as soon as the tire contacts the lock ring, tap the lock ring lightly into the gutter, and make sure it is going to sit squarely on the ledge of the rim. Resume with the air and it should not take more than a pound or two for the lock ring to be fully seated. If not, let the air out and see what the lock ring is stuck on. But if you were clean careful and attention to detail, the lock ring will likely go together on the first try.

Today's Featured Article - Seeing an Old Friend - by Joe Evans. Dad had a concrete contracting business starting in 1960. One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
