One that size is not that bad to deal with, have to figure out what you may have to break the bead with, on my ole 850 ford, if one goes flat and drains itself, LOL, I dismount it and can chock the tractor safely, use the loader to push a 4x4 onto the bead, breaks the seal, then a couple of appropriate tire spoons, taking little bites so as not to tear the bead, you can move it over the rim, inner, outer relatively easy, most tire guys leave them on the axle, break the bead there. I only do it to use the loader. I use Rim Glyde from Napa to lube the bead. You can check the tire over inside, check the rim, what have you, re-mount tire, install or stuff in the tube, use the tool for the valve(tsc sells it, gemplers too etc + any spoons you'll need) pull it through the hole in the rim. I forget, the order of things been awhile, maybe its one bead over the rim, then the tube, connect valve tool, pull it through etc. Once both beads are over, the tube situated, inflate partially, enough to expand it out, then deflate, allowing any wrinkles to straighten out.
I used to shy away from doing tires, just call the tire guy, good fellow, independent small business, but expensive. So I watched him carefully the last time, which was '04. I've had to do a couple of tire repairs since, last one was a truck size tire on one of our spreaders, I'm no expert, but am glad I learned enough to be able to do these, its really not that difficult, a 2nd hand is desirable when possible, it has saved me a fair amount of money and all the repairs are still in service. It may not be for everyone, there is a learning curve, tricks to using the tools, like the spoons, but I think its a good thing to know in a pinch and now I own the minimal tools needed for a repair, keep spare tubes etc.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
