I just replaced the front tires on my Ford 8N. One was decent the other was shredded, although the tube had only one hole in it. Decided to try replacing them myself. I watched a few youtube vids but I pretty much knew how to do it.
Ordered some inexpensive ($99 for tires and tubes) in the 4.00 - 19 size off the internet. They got here in three days, I barely had the tires off the tractor. The tractor just is used on a 125 bu. manure spreader every other day to unload on a pile, no hard use, so cheapies are fine (Thailand made, tubes from Korea).
I used the front loader to break down the beads and flat bars to pry them off. The good one was good inside, looks like the last time someone was in there they cleaned it up. The other had heavy rust. I wire wheeled it and patched some small holes with JBWeld and painted both. On the good rim the tire went right back on. On the other the tube had a pin hole leak, took it off and patched it, put it on, still leaked. On the second try I probably pinched it, but had some other tiny pin holes too. Ended up using the old tube from the good old wheel for the third try.
While I had the rims off I took off the hubs and inspected and greased them the bearings and painted the hubs and lug nuts.
All in all I think it was worth while for the money saving and the experience doing it.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
