Hope this isn't a silly question, however hoping someone on here has done this before.  I have an Allis-Chalmers model 611 LTD and one front tire has a slow leak ( it goes down in about 2 days).  Has anyone on here ever changed a front tire?  I'm assuming it needs to be replaced.  How does one replace one of these tires?  Thanks in advance!

Pretty simple job, could just be a valve stem or you could also put a tube in the tire. Air it up and spray some soapy water around the tire and where the tire seals against the rim. Look for an area that keeps producing bubbles, that shows a leak. May be able to just put a tube in it or replace the valve stem if that's the problem.

I do mine the same way that I used to do tires on my bicycle-screwdrivers-although the tractor tires require a larger pair of screwdrivers-LOL. All that it takes is a couple of screwdrivers working around the rim to get the beads off. You could probably get away with doing just 1 side to be able to slip a tube in but it would still be much easier to get both beads loose. Pull the tire bead outside the rim on 1 side and then the other side you want to push the tire bead off inside the rim. That way you could pull the tire almost off the rim and place the tube right into the tire. Then all you have to do is force the tire bead that is outside the rim back inside the rim being VERY careful to not hit the tube with your screwdrivers. Then, just air up the tube and it should reset both beads easily but be careful to not over do it to force the beads or you may pop the tube or even hurt yourself. I have done lots this way front and rear lawn tractor tires to put tubes in rather than buy new tires. It will go years yet with a tube properly installed. HTH
