The left rear tire on my 1010 Utility has a slow leak.
My guess is that the wheel has not been off the axle in 30 (!) years..... been pumping her up because I look at those big FROZEN nuts/studs and wonder at the halacious aggravation involved in getting the wheel off. And no, changing the tire valve did not help.

So, anyone have any ideas on how to remove that wheel? I have the type of wheels that slide on the axle and they are at the farthest apart setting. Don't want to apply a lot of heat as I had the old girl painted up a little while ago. But if I hafta , I hafta, I do have some touch up paint.....

Appreciate any and ALL suggestions. Getting tired of the bicycle pump and 150 pushes to get rolling!

I've had a couple sets changed on different tractors and I've concluded from watching the fellow from the tire store beat and bash, that its worth the price of watching him do it. Often it takes a hydraulic bead breaker to get an old tire debeaded, no amount of tire iron and sledge hammer work will get there. And they always work tractor rear tires with the rim on the tractor. Makes it a lot less work than to have to manhandle 500 pounds of rim and 150 pounds or more of tire laying flat on the ground!

Gemplers sells a mechanical bead breaker for about $279 the price of at least 6 tractor tire repairs.

suggestion 1 forget about unbolting the tire, fix it right on the tractor. Is it loaded with either calcium or anti freeze? If not you should be able to break it down repair tube and air back up in 15 minutes or less. All you need are 2 tire irons alege hammer abottle of dishwasher soap and a strong right arm. Drive the tire iron betwween the bead and the rim.Put the other iron 1/2 inch away and repeat driving until you feel it hit rim. Repeat this prcess several times until you have the bead backed off edge of rim 10-12 inches, then sledge hammer into tire as close off rim as you can swing. If this doesnt move tire open your rim/ gap more, always sledge hammering center point of opening. It's not as difficult as it sounds; I change 12 to 15 hundred of them a year. E mail me back for further help if you need it. Mike
