Looking for general advice-I have an old rear tire with large cracks I'm going to cut off the rim to save the work of dismounting, as it's no good anyway. I've heard of mixed success with a sawzall, I plan to use one with a fairly aggressive demolition blade and maybe some soapy water for lubricating the blade. The tire is old and very hard so I'm thinking it might cut a little better than soft rubber? ------------- 1951 WD #78283, 1918 Case 28x50 Thresher #76738, Case Centennial B 2x16 Plow |

| My grandpa and I tried cutting an old tire off a plow once with an aggressive blade on his Sawzall, and even with him holding the saw and me trying to hold the tire still, it didn't do any good. The rubber just moved back and forth with the tire. Ended up having to get the spoons out. |

Like Creston, I did it that way once. Getting through the beads was the hardest part for me. If there is an easy way to get old junk tires off of rims I am not aware of it. |

I've done one .... 1st step, broke the bead on BOTHsides of the rim 2nd step, drilled 2 holes where sidewalls meet tread 3rd step, use sawzall with new wood blade cut from hole to rim, 2nd hole to rim,hole to hole 4th step, 'peel' off tire 5th step, have a beer Jay ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

| You can't hurt the rim with a Sawzall and a fire rescue blade if you have a welder and a grinder if speed it the object. |

Don't use the agressive blade but a tungsten grit blade - no teeth - just abrasive material bonded to blade . The hard part is the bead - - now the tire could be cut with a circle saw (skillsaw) but the bead again is the problem - then if you get bead ring out of the seated area of rim - anything that will cut the wire will work ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?

have not tried it but maybe a 4 inch angle grinder or one with a bigger cutting wheel... or an old saw with carbide blade might cut a 'kerf' wide enough that it would not bind. let us know what works for you. ------------- Holding a grudge is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die |

I'd try a cutting wheel on a high speed air tool,never tried it on a tire bead but it'll go thru about everything else I've tried with it.Wear safety glasses.

X 2 on what WFMURRAY wrote. Didn't take very long to do, maybe 1 1/2hour for 2 rear tires. Could then evaluate if rims at valve stem holes were repairable. Those repairs took longer!! ------------- AC 200, CAH, AC185D bareback, AC 180D bareback, D17 III, WF. D17 Blackbar grill, NF. D15 SFW. Case 1175 CAH, Bobcat 543B, |

Thanks all, I'm thinking since this is a large rear tire and pretty hard the rubber won't move as Creston described. My plan for the bead wire I think is to cut down to it with the sawzall then use a bolt cutter to cut the wire itself. ------------- 1951 WD #78283, 1918 Case 28x50 Thresher #76738, Case Centennial B 2x16 Plow |

Charlie, I tried that once and they bent the hey out of my rim.  If i would ever have to cross that bridge again, I think I would try the chain saw act, keep old chins laying around for special occssions. |

X3 on what wfmurray said. You won't be able to get bolt cutters down deep enough to cut those wires around the bead. A good chisel and 3 or four good whacks and the bead comes of easily. I have removed several, one off a 37 U that had an original loaded tire. ------------- Maximum use of available resources! |
