Hank. All good suggestions, but I have done it alone the way Steve LA did it and it works very good as long as you take your time and don't try to force anything.Just kind of lean the tire against the tractor and let your jack do the work of aligning the holes. Good luck. Ron

I blocked my tractor up high enough to roll my tire up onto the saddle of my floor jack, then jacked the tire up to the height of the lugs, and rolled the floor jack forward and put the tire straight onto the lugs. My tires were not loaded, so I don't know how good this would work with a loaded tire.

When removing the tire, jack just high enough to center the bolts in the bolt holes when the nuts are removed. Lean the tire off the bolts and wiggle/walk it away. To mount, never lift the tire, not even with a bar, lower the tractor to the tire using the jack,(a helper comes in handy here) then wiggle-walk the tire close to the hub and lean the tire onto the bolts. If the bolts and holes don't line up, turn the hub whichever til they do. I lean the tire to me just enough to reach behind with a socket breaker bar to turn the hub. Make sure other wheels are blocked and tranny in neutral. Be careful, no matter how you chose to do it. Tires are heavy even if not loaded. If it starts to fall, let it go, then get some help to stand it up. Steve 8N I69302

Don't lay that wheel down. You can't get the wheel under there unless the lugs are a little high. Get a pry bar or tire iron and with one hand you can lift the wheel to match the lugs. (The other hand is holding that bad boy.) You get tricky with the bar you can turn the wheel just some to match the lugs. Patience and you won't hurt yourself or break a sweat.

Hank, after reading others on this board I have learned, never lay down the wheel. Keep it standing up & leaning against something. Jack tractor to as close to lug height as possible. Roll tire on a 2x4 etc. if you need to raise it slightly.
Hope this helps, mostly BE CAREFUL.
