So I put those 9.5L-15 tires in the warm house with the beads propped open with 7" long wooden blocks for 24 hours.
Took the blocks out of the first tire, and the tire didn't move. Thought I had it made.
Went out and put the tire on the rim. FOOMP! The tire reverted back to its "squashed" shape.
There is NO WAY I'm going to get them to seat tubeless. I tried ALL the tricks.
I put on a ratchet strap and tightened it with all my strength. The strap does nothing to push the sidewalls of the tire out toward the beads of the rim. If anything, they sucked in MORE.
I tried Johnsen's premium starting fluid 50% ether, and only managed to set the tire on fire, as usual.
I don't have a bead cheetah, don't know who has one to borrow, don't know where I can buy one locally today so I can get this job done.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
