can any one tell me how you change the planter press wheels on a ac planter? the rims are not split so how do people change the tire on to the rims? |

| If someone would post a scan I have of the A-C Service Bulletin on this subject I will email it to you. It would be a good item to put in the Knowledge Base section here on the Forum. |

| I've replaced a few of them a few years ago. I set the rim flat on the floor in my Quonset. Then, I had a piece of steel pipe about 6 inches in diameter, and about 8 to 10 feet long that I stood straight up in the center of the rim. Then I used a loader tractor, and set the loader bucket on top of this pipe with just enough down pressure, so the rim wasn't going to do any moving around on me. I made my own tire irons out of some steel well pipe about inch and a half in diameter and five to six feet long. On the business end of these home made tire irons (made two of them) I cut about three fourths of the way around them, about three fourths of an inch from the end. Then at each end of this cut, I cut straight back to the end of the cut from the end of the pipe. So I had a tab on the end of the pipe that was about three fourths of an inch long, about on fourth of the way around the pipe. Then with lots of soapy water for lube, I could hook the tabs on the ends of the pipes onto the rim, and pry the tire right on. I don't think it took me five minutes to do the last one I did. I know I am not the world's best at explaining things, but I hope you get the gest of how I did it' Darrel |

| I put several on at the tire shop, pretty simple. A pair of vicegrips clamped on the rim, 2 of the 36" tire irons, and good tire lube. It would be a lot easier now days if you could clamp the rim in a rim clamp tire machine. |

IT IS NOT LIKE A TIRE - THE PLANTER TIRE will stretch like a TOUGH rubber band. It has to be stretched over the rim, out of curiosity where did you get the new rubber tire? ------------- When told "it's not the money,it's the principle", remember, it's always the money.. |

I don't know where this gentleman's tire came from, but a few years ago when I found the 17" tires were no longer available through AGCO I contacted Carlisle Rubber who had bought the original molds from Ohio Rubber. I needed someone with an account with Carlisle to do the deal. M. E. Miller Tire here in Ohio had an account and was willing to take on the project, so I stepped out of the deal and Ed Miller took it from there. There were two runs produced, a batch of single ribs and a batch of dual ribs. Ed is still selling them as far as I know. I bought enough for my two planters. They are same as the original but nice fresh rubber.
