I have a smta. The valve stem rotted off, I drained the fluid. It appears that there is a tube in there, (maybe they all are?). I am not sure where to go from here. Can I get this tire off myself and reinstall tube and tire, any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I use a front end loader, a chain and the weight of the wheel to break it down. This works good. I put the edge of the bucket at the edge of the tire and a chain around the spoke just inside the rim. Pick it up with the loader. Some times I have to bounce it some but it usually comes right off. Be careful there is a lot of weight there!

Rear tires have a threaded valve stem opening and you have to screw in a valve stem. The plastic collar you see holds the tube onto the rim. Did you're tear out a piece of tube where the opening is? If so you will have to replace the tube. If not then you maybe your old one is broken off and if you can get out the old piece you can buy a new one and just screw it in. The hardest part of removing a rear tractor tire is breaking it away from the edge of the rim. After that you can get the tire off without too much trouble and install a new tube. You can do it and leave the rim attached to the tractor. You should also look at your rim while the tire is off and probably paint it as calcium chloride used in the tires will eventually rust holes in the rim.

Call a farm tire service guy and ask him how much he charges to replace the tube. Then call salvage yards and see what they want for a servicable rim. With those two numbers in mind you can see what you're up against. Charlie is right the hardest thing is removing the tire from rim, but he didn't say how hard that can really be - a b----- . and after you've removed it the rim may be beyond repair as well. To save time/trouble/money, I would buy a used rim haul it and the old rim and tire to a tire store and pay them to move onto a new tube. Sorry for the length. Dick Davis
