I was going to mount the 16.9X28's on these this weekend. Wheels are 133 lbs. each , tires are 156 lbs. I'd like to think I could do it, but maybe I'll load em up and have a pro do it.

Thats the way to handle that stuff for sure.
I lost a carrier bearing on one of my Oliver 1850's when i was farming and used one just about like that to remove and put back a loaded 18.4 34 loaded tire, rim and center. I got it done but it caused me to buy a heaver engine lift. The lighter one has sway back feet now. Like the lumber carts. It has six wheels but if you hold it just right you can move it around in just two. (:^D

If you let the pros do it, it might protect your paint job a bit. The couple that I have mounted and dismounted, it does seem the easiest to have the rim mounted onto the tractor for stability and then work the tire on. I have found that the bigger the tires, the easier they are to get on and off. If it were me, I would put some masking tape on them and lube the beads really good and give her a whirl. The last time I took them in, they got me 75 bucks to dismount and mount them. I like keeping those greens in my pocket for other AC stuff. ------------- 1955 WD45 diesel 203322 was my dad's tractor, 1966 D15 23530, 1961 HD3 Crawler 1918, 1966 D17 IV 83495, 1937 WC 41255, 1962 D19 6221 |

Gary, are you building a puller. I wouldn't have thought F&H made a 15 inch wide rim but it looks like those are wide. I did my 14.9-24's for Lena on the floor of the garage. Next time, I'll try working with them bolted to the tractor.

| They are only 12"wide, I intended them for 14.9 but I only have 16.9's. My 16.9s were on 12" spinouts at one time , then 15s, !5's are ideal, but these will work. |

I mounted the 16.9's on my D17 at home with a couple crow bars. Some liquid dish soap for lube and it really wasn't all that hard. Didn't skin up the wheel either. I'm just an average strength/size guy. $25 ea to dismount the old tires was $$ well spent. One tube didn't survive due to the rust on the wheel. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."

| If the tires are new its a pieeeeeeece of cake. Shouldn't even require tools. If they are older and a little age hardened then it might take some steel persuasion but still very doable for anyone. |

| I always install tires with a hammer instead of irons. Fewer tube pinches. I have done dozens that way. Bob |

Just lay the rim on the floor and let gravity help you out. Putting tires on is easy....getting the old ones off is work. ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |

Well , they are mounted. Only took a couple hours, a few beers. Luckily a buddy stopped by and got sucked into the job. Should look O.K. on the WC-C11 project.

Very, very nice. I saved your entire string of beginning to end rim modification pics, and that is beautiful workmanship. ------------- "The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." - Mark Twain |
