Hello,
I am going to attempt to remove a back tire from my Dads, JD 1010. We were going to get a tire company to do this, but for various reasons they cant get to it for a few days. So with the help of you fine Allis folks we are going to do it ourselves.
MY question is the best way to break the tire away from the rim? It has a hole in it we are going to have repaired.
Again thanks for all your help, present and past.

I put about a 10" x 8' plank up to the bead but not over it, and drive up on it with my truck. It has worked every time.

I Lay them on the ground under the bumper on my big truck. Then use the hylift jack to break the bead. Turn it over and do the other side. I have used the tractor loader but I don't have goood visibality that way. When I didn't have a hylift with you can drive over the tire with the front of the frieghtliner. if your careful.

This is one way I do it. Need a lot of glue to put back on.

On good tires I use the same tools as the tire repair man has.

I lay it on its side a take an old carpenters crow bar and a tire iron and work them until I get the bar9unside down) under the rim. Then use a 3lb hammer and pound on the bar, move it and pound some more.
My neighbor, who is an equipment mechanic had a front rim he said he tried everything on and couldn't break it. I showed him this trick and had it loose in 5 minutes with a white shirt and tie on. Bob

use CBACBFan 's method. pry that side of the tire off the rim using a crowbar... turn the wheel over and repeat.

You will then have the wheel completely inside the tire and may begin cussing profusely.

Use the forks of a bobcat to push down near the bead.

I have use a dozer blade, backhoe bucket, jack under the truck, driving up on a plank and the rear tire of a heavy tractor. What ever works that you have to work with close and the easiest.

I've done enough tires to convince myself that paying the tire shop to do it is $$ well spent. I'd bet the handyman jack under something heavy would be one of the easiest methods to break the bead. I have changed car tires using Dad's 72 Grandville and bumper jack.

I bought one of those bead cheata'S from john deere.Some farm magazines sell them also.It just fastens to the rim and forces the tire off the bead with a standard ratchet.Those other ways sometime work,but most don't and you do a lot of extra work,smash your fingers and it's not safe.

I take my front end loader, point the bucket down, and lower the bucket. Have changed a dozen tires this way.
