Engine hoists can tip over, if the wheel is not balanced right, at least mine will. I remove the rims, then the wheel. More work, but safer. Simpler if there are two people doing it.

Agree with CNKS its best to make sure the rim clamp bolts and nuts are in good shape before turning wheels around. After you have a flat is not the time to find out your clamp bolts are rusted tight if you leave them turned to inside. Jack up one side at a time and if you have a air wrench its easy to take rim off and turn wheel around on same side and finish it before going to other side. Makes it easier getting to wheel clamp bolts with rim out of the way. May be overkill but I always remove wheel clamp bolts and wire brush rust and dirt from threads before going back.

If you have concrete floor and a cherry picker or another tractor with boom pole unloaded tires and wheels are easy AFTER you get the 8 bolts broke loose. Make sure tractor is securly blocked up and not just setting on jacks or stands. If they are loaded I would not do it and even unloaded tire and wheel can be dangerous.

Tractors can be very dangerous if you are not always alert and carefull. Had a 66 year old friend that cut his teeth on tractor steering wheel break one of the first rules the first of this week. Got off tractor and left 3 point tiller running and somehow it ripped his leg off to about 12 inches above knee.

like george said, be careful if they are loaded, they are real heavy. they are heavy even if not loaded. i have flipped a few sets on my m, dished out is to wide for my trailer. i block the tractor up good on jack stands, spray the olts up good with penetrating oil, wipe some grease on the axle shafts too. slide the tire and rim off as an asem, roll it around to the opposite side, slide em back on. have a helper with the cast hub on, once it starts to fall over, you cant stop it.a loader is definately the way to go if there is one around

If you mean slide them in it is a simple chore. I loosen the 4 wedge block bolts jack tractor up just enough to get a iron digger(spud bar) under tire lift up taking a little weight of axle and push on top side of tire. You can also rock back and forth a little walking them up.If you mean turning dish and all be sure not to let it turn over on you, if loaded with fluid you should have help or a loader as they are quite heavy and will have to be completely removed from tractor to turn around. I can do this in a few minutes, but if you have never done it I assume it will take longer. It is not that big a job. This is just how I do it others may have different method.

I have swapped complete assemblies from one tractor to another, and did it all by myself, but I also knew that if it started to get away, there was no way that I could stop it, and I would just let go, get out of the way, and let it drop. Fortunately, I have never dropped one, but if you have no experience doing such a thing, please don't try it by yourself. Get at least two buddies to help.

Rusty I do it all by myself to, but I thought someone that has never done it might need a little help. I have been doing this on a regular basis for nearly 40 years.

Yep, that's why I recommended getting a couple of buddies to help. If one of those assemblies happened to fall on him, he would need at least two people to get it off him.
