Back when many pickups had rubber gaskets around windshields, I pulled the new glass into the trucks with a small diameter rope. I wiped brake fluid on the rubber and they slid in very nicely. Didn`t hurt the rubber and was super slippy.

I need to charge more. I charge 60 an hour from the time I show up till I'm done. I charge minimum one hour regardless if I'm there for only half hour. I do not charge milage either.

The best way to keep from pinching a tube.........
Put one side of the tire on the rim
Insert and arrange the tube in the tire and get the valve stem in place.
Now put SOME air into the tube. Enough to make it the same size as the tire.
Take the valve stem out and let the air out. Put the valve stem back in. Now put just a LITTLE air in the tube. Enough to inflate it about half way. This will help to keep the inner tube away and keep you from poking holes in it, or pinching it.
Now put the other side of the tire on the rim (being careful of course).
Just inflate to the correct pressure.
VERY simple and easy.
Just takes a little practice......

I find that removing rear tractor tires is simple when you have the correct tools to do the job. Are used to fight all afternoon to get a tractor tire off, but when I got the correct tools know it's a cakewalk.

also, if the hole for your valve stem is rusted 3 inches round, duct tape ain't gonna fix it!! the d14 I bought was like that. it also had a 11/12.? x28 tube in a 13.?x26 tire?

Clever idea with Jack and chains to break bead!! However I do tire while still mounted on tractor, so may not work for me. I agree with WFOwner that it's not fun to pinch tube and redo all work to fix (been there, done that) but I disagree about bead breaking... that definitely is the worst part.. Dan

agree with ya, once the bead was broke the tires came off easy. I took my tire, tube and wheel to my dads garage to have them put it on. they had to inflate and deflate it 4-5 times and put lots of rim guard on to get the tire to seat right, it didn't want to center the rim on the tire? glad I took it to him...lol the last tire that was a @#$# to get off the rim, I used the jack and chain method to get a gap started at the bead, then used an air chisel to get the tire uncorroded (not sure that's a word) from the wheel. don't think the jack and chain method would work for ya, gonna be hard to hold all that stuff in place.

forgot to mention. if tires are still on the tractor. for the inside bead use a bottle jack and put against the tractor (what ever lines up that'll handle the load, I wouldn't use the pto or anything). then just pump up the jack against the bead, might use a board between the jack and tire if it's a good tire. for the outside I'd just take the wheel off and turn the wheel around so the other bead is on the inside of the tractor and repeat the above. hope this helps dt...

Several years ago my dad and I replaced both rear tires and tubes on his JD 4440. Got it finished and went back to the house for the night with a job well done. Next day went to the barn and the tractor was leaning to the right. It wasn't nearly as much fun to take the tire back off and patch a brand new tube. Lots of words to be said about that one.
A year or two later we did the tires on his 4430, they had been on the tractor for more than 20 years if I'm not mistaken. The steel belts were showing in places. It was July 4, a hot, humid, rainy day, with no air moving through the barn. I ran his slide hammer bead breaker for half the morning trying to get the first bead on the first tire started. It made for a really fun day. I can't wait to see what the tires on my WD 45 have in store for me. But I'm thinking about saving up to have it done now. Especially after remembering the stories I just told.
Later,
Brad
