Well, again did appreciate all the help, ended up taking off the wheel, used the loader and a 4x4 block to finish breaking the bead, was a little difficult getting off the rim, on the ground, 1 drop center and offset spoon is all I could find, seems once you get it started, theres a few tricks to learn, next time I'll put er back on the tractor to take the tire off the rim, seems to help creating that extra room you need, rim repair was easy enough too. All in all, no big deal to learn how to do these. Going to mount it this afternoon.
The question I have is, I found a small piece of the bead, inside, torn slightly, like a flap, 1/4" deep, smaller than a quarter, and would seemingly stay in place, once over the rim I can glue it with rubber cement meant for the purpose. Used care, must have missed this one or was not done by me.
Does anyone think this will chafe the tube ? What if anything can you do to repair or avoid chafing.
I definitely heeded the advice to use care to not damage the bead, especially the inside, it was a new tire 5 years ago, nothing else wrong and the dummy who put it on, obviously used a defective tube, the valve came out of the base, rest of the tube was fine, so was the rim, I thought this CACL2 leak could have gotten between the tube and rim, it did not, so it seems chafing through is the only way that would occur, puncture the tire and the tube you'll see it and it will go flat.
Good information on how to do this (link attached)
It's funny though, Gemplers has everything you need for tires, no one carries Murphy's Rim Kote, and spoons at Napa were expensive, almost $50 each, same filling/bleeder valve at TSC was $7.00, Napa gets $17.00 for it spoons at TSC, 24" were $29 and no one, and I mean no one has a 5/8" metal drill bit on the shelf, have to order it, that is kind of sad, used to be able to get them up and over 1" at the Napa Warehouse, which is still well stocked, we are lucky to have them here, otherwise most things would have to be ordered. Really need to plan ahead for things you need or will need, cause they won't be on the shelf most likely.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
