Jeff, you can get by with breaking just the one bead if it is tubeless. My experience in life though is that I've had to put tubes in both front tires of every lawn tractor I ever had.
If you get in there and find you have a tube, you might just as well figure somebody put them there for a reason and you'll have to break both beads to be able to get a new one in.
If it doesn't have a tube, it's not that hard to get the bead to reseat on a small tire like that with just air -- no gas, no ether. Just get a strap around it (the cheapest tie-down-type nylon ratchet strap you can find will do the trick). Soap the bead up good (No more than I have to do it, I usually raid the cabinet under the kitchen sink and use Murphy's Oil Soap) and tighten the strap down around the circumference of the tire in the middle of the tread. That'll pucker the bead out enough to meet the rim so you can get air into it.
