1940 b wake up

Wispitfiremike wrote: Time for an update, we were looking for some tires and go figure but they were attached to  a couple of tractors. After they followed us home we started contemplating how we were going to scramble around the rims and tires we wanted. Question for the experienced from those who are unfamiliar with best practices for this job. Is it possible to get the rim off without removing it with the wheel weight or does it all come together? If at all possible it seems best to try to change on the tractor with out removing the rim? What kinds of fun can we expect and as always we appreciate the help. If I can figure out how I will load video of tractor now. Fun part is one of the two we picked up is a running 1938 B , and a loose mid 40s B. Already decided the 38 is staying but gotta sell probably mid 40s B,  as we are plum out of shed space.

A picture would help, always nice to have when you go to put things back together too. The rim is typically clamped to the wheel center. Two of the four bolts on the perimeter of the wheel center are cam locks. They typically have a cruciform stamped on the head. Loosen all the nuts and turn the long side of the cruciform toward center to unclamp. It's just removing parts after that.

If I'm reading you other question right, my preference for changing tires is leaving the rim on the tractor. Less bending over and I don't have to waste energy taking it off. Energy I know I'm going to need...

Assuming compatibility, swapping rims is typically easier than swapping tires, especially if the tires have been mounted for an extended period of time. Takes time and effort to break the bead manually. If tire changing is a new venture for you, rear ag tires are not the place to start. Let the pros handle it. If you know your way around a bead breaker, grab it and give 'em hell!
