Breaking the bead will be by far the hardest part. They really hang on if the rim is rusted. At my age, (66), I sometimes take them to a tire shop just to get them broke loose. That little runt is an artist with the wedge shaped hammer. He lubricates the bead with a product called "Skid" before he starts. He does it for $10 per tire, if they are really stuck bad...free if they aren't.

You can do a much better job of cleaning the calcium residue out of the tire and protecting the paint than any tire shop will. Wash the tire out well...with a power washer if you can. The tube will be easy...use a new one, it won't have any calcium. Mounting is easy if you do it with the rim on the tractor. Gravity is a really good helper. I did the same thing on 12 rear tractor tires in 2000. I only took the ones in I couldn't break loose.
