Tom, Number one, be aware that if the tire is full, or almost with cal chloride solution, it will be very heavy, (a 15.5-38 tire when full to standard capacity will add approx 500/700 pounds to the tire.) Just be carefull. You may want to get most out of the tire before removing the rim from the wheel. Be sure to capture the liquid, as it will kill grass and weeds.
I also found it easier to break the beads and repair the rear tires when still mounted on the tractor. (works as a work stand) To bread the beads, wedges and sometimes a cold chisel would be used just to start the bead/rim seperation process. Once started it usually went pretty easy, just depends on how rusty the rim was. Good luck, and have a happy new year.
