Is it easier (better) to mount 11.2 X 24 rear tires on the rim before putting the rim on tractor or after? Tim

put the rim on the tractor the install the tire. you wont be chasing the rim all over. also when done on the tractor you can use the weight of the tire to help you install it.

It's much easier to mount the tire on the rim if the rim is already on the tractor.

I wish I had read this about ten tires ago. But i have had great luck breaking beads by using a 12 ton hydraulic jack. With the tire/rim flat on the floor, put the base of the jack close to the rim edge, using the tractor drawbar to provide a vertical weight for the top of the jack to work against. It's good to hear that noise of the tire bead coming free from the rim. Saves a lot of hammering and swearing. Bob@allisdowmeast

I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not sure.

After cleaning and painting the rim I always coat the rim and tire bead with old rancid lard that was used for baking or deep frying doughnuts. I keep it in the shop for wood screws, tires or whatever. It makes mounting easier and prevents the tire from sticking to the fresh dried paint and if you don't paint the rim it makes tire removal easier the next time. You can't put too much on. I always change my 4020 rear tires on the tractor. Take a front end loader and break the bead with the bucket or the skid steer Bobcat. This is the easiest way I have found for the job. If you have liquid in the tire run a pump off of the pto to suck it out and pump it back in.
