I have only done one and it was not too bad of a job. The tire that I was working on farmall B. I bought a new tube and proceeded to remove the tire. The hardest part was breaking the bead. It was rusted to the tire for I don't know how long. I took a 6 ton bottle jack, put the tire under the front of the tractor and with the bottom of the bottle jack on the tire and the top of the jack on the bottom of the tractor frame (for weight). As you pump the jack, it will smush the tire and break the bead. Once this is done, its a matter of working the tire. I had to make a couple of pry bars. I took a couple lengths of 3/4in solid rod and heated and peened the end to a fanned shape. When it came time to inflate the tire, I put about 5 pounds of air and made sure the tube was not snagged under the lip of the tire. Once I was sure everything was looking good, I aired it up and got beer. I must say I felt a good sense of accomplishment. Not including making the pry bars it took about an hour to fix the tire.

Good luck, work slowly and take a break if you get angry. :)
