In Reply to: Using ether to seat tire beads... posted by wore out on April 14, 2021 at 08:49:18:

Just mounted two new tires. Ether was the only way to get them to seat the bead. You need to be ready to shoot the air because when the hot air cools, it can suck the beads back off! Ether with oil in it won't work, at least it wouldn't work for me. I suspect that's what causes people to us too much, because the ether with oil is hard to get to lite off. I always wear goggles. Ha. If a person is afraid, I'm thinking that you could lay a spark plug on the tire and hook it to a fence charger and stand way back and plug in the fence charger. I haven't tried this yet, but it seems like it would work.
I think it's more dangerous to air up a tire holding the air chuck. I had a truck tire blow up on me one time when I was holding the air chuck. Luckyly I heard the tire start to make a crackle noise just before it blew! I jumped back just in time before it blew. Sounded like a stick is dynamite!I now only use clip on air chucks and stand back! I have 2, one has the guts removed for seating the beads, and the other is a regular clip on chuck. If a bead doesn't seat by the time you get to normal pressure, don't use much extra pressure! Let the air out and bounce the tire to re a range the beads. Spray some wd40 around the beads. That works well for me.I've been changing my own tires for years. By the way, that hand bead breaker from harbour freight works very well! It takes me about an hour to balance and mount a tire, so I save $20 bucks. Ill work for those wages! A tire shop can probably do it in 15 minutes!

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo ... [Read Article]
