Went to Harbor Freight a couple of weeks ago to get tire changer. I had heard that they had one for $69. I must have got there at the right time. They were on sale for $39. It works great and I highly recommend it. I've changed tires for my Jimmy (15") and EZGO golf cart (8") with no problems. I'm anxious to try a rear tractor tire just to see if it will break the bead on one that big. Ron

I just went thru getting some rear 12.4 x 24 off the rims. I had used all the farmer tricks of driving on the side of tire with another tractor and used lots of soap tire soap on them and one just would not come off the rim. I wound up after two days (one weekend) of sweat and effort taking a wheel to Goodyear commercial tire store. This was early in the morning and the guy, he was a older salesman and not the regular service kid. He climb up on the back of the pickup ,I had to help him up, with a slid hammer bead breaker and some soap solution and it about three minutes had the bead loose. Long story short I went home and ordered a slide hammer bead breaker from Northern Tool. like $110. But when your down on a weekend that's what you need along with somme good tire spoons. Buy the tire spoons from some place like Gemplers and get the Kent Moore Brand, they are stronger and won't bend. I bought some from Northern that bent the first time I used them. Get some of the tire mounting compound, it's some kind of soap I think, I use Murphy's, from Gemplers also. I have the HF manual tire machine also and that's good for pickups and cars, but need the right stuff for the tractos. I would really like to get one of them screw type scissor looking bead breaker tools but that'll have to wait for the finance's to build back up. bjr

I'll post pictures when I get a decent camera. Its very similar to those used in service stations except it is manually operated not pneumatic. It has a long bar for leverage and will break a bead immediately. And then the same bar installs the new tire on the wheel simply by using pulling leverage. Only problem is I had to install it on my concrete barn floor with 4 concrete bolts to prevent it from rocking. For $39, I don't think it can be beat...Thanks for the post...Ron
