wondering if any of you fellows have built a hydraulic press to break the bead on these old tractor tires. Some of these old tractors have tires that have been on the rim for the last 50 years, and have grown to the rim. I have a front end loader that I have raised the front of the tractor off the ground and left overnight, sometimes they break but most of the time they don't. Or maybe some of you have a better solution. Thanks

A friend has a piece of tee-shaped steel, 2 ft. long, bolted to a main post in his garage. then he uses an old style bumper jack to press the tire down from the rim! Works fairly good for auto and cycle tires! A large Porto-power ram style jack would work good, too! by: RJ

A fringe benefit of being a firefighter. I use the Hurst Tool, known as the "Jaws of Life" by some, to squeeze the tire, breaking the bead.

I just did a 400 with 15.5's on an 11 inch rim. The tires were an 8 ply and they about killed me trying to get tehm off. I finally used a sawsall. I need a beat cheater too.

Having an access to a loader is a good way to break the bead.

Try concentrating the down force of your loader more by using just the corner of the bucket. I tried the full bucket width drill last week getting 25 year old 13.6 x 38s to come loose from our 460's rims with no success. Results were almost immediate when I changed over to just using the bucket's corner.

I love it when a plan comes together.

I have always used a splitting axe, wedges, soap and effort and it has worked. But, I"m getting old ;> I purchased a "Bead-Cheater" and I must say, what a wonderful tool. Calcium rusted rims on a John Deere 1530 removed in under 30 minutes total!

I* always just use a tire hammer and some dish soap, never had one I couldn't brake down yet. I do have an air powered unit but I almost never use it since it doesn't seem to do any better then the hammer

I use a tire hammer, its about 8lbs and looks sort of like a splitting hammer but the end is turn side ways instead of going with the handle. Hasn't ever let me down yet and I do some that have been on the rims for 25 plus years.

While you've got the weight on it..... as with your loader..... pour some of whatever "slickum" you use on beads around the bead/rim. It'll work its way down in there. Oil will also work, but I've never been a fan of oil on tires..... .I often just leave my tire hammer stuck between tire and rim for a few hours with resulting "crack" filled with liquid soap.
