It has been a lot of years, but I put myself through college working in a tire store. First, we were told to never put any kind of oil on tires to mount them, especially car on truck tires, the tire might slip on the rim and lose the seal between bead and the rim, soapy water is fine...even recommended. Next, tire "spoons" are a great help, these are the specialized bars to pry the tire off or on. "Duck-billed" tire hammers are good for hammering the bead on, you can also use the hammer to break the bead loose from the rim, that's how I do all of mine here at home. As far as the tire-tube, make sure the rim is clean and rust free, pry or hammer on the first or back bead of the tire, insert the tube, put some air in the tube...just enough to take the slack out of the rubber with the valve fastened in the valve hole. Then carefully pry the front bead on. When airing the tire up, watch the beads and make sure they are seating against the rim correctly...if not, let it part way back down and try again. After the tire is fully inflated and seated, we were told to let the tire completely deflate to lessen the chance of the tube being wrinkled and pinching itself. Tire and wheel mounting is a very dangerous operation, if you can afford it, take it to the experts. I could tell hundreds of stories about guys getting injured working on wheels and tires. This not a complete or exact step by step explanation, and I get concerned when I hear of guys, no matter how mechanical or adept at doing things by and for themselves, tackle tire changing. Good luck. Mike

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
