Fought with this wheel/tire for several hours, truck/ramp, beat with sledge, etc w/o sucess then saw Ryan's method, and this is the result after about 15 min's. Ryan is da' man!  ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

| Glad it worked out for you Lou! I can't take credit for it though, I think I read about it on "the other site" a few years ago. |

| Grew up with them but it still amazes me sometimes what you can do with one of those jacks. We have several on the place and they get used/abused quite often. |

I basically did the same thing, but I used the tractor frame and the draw bar. I think the draw bar is the safest way. Yep I agree, quite a handy tool.

A picture really is worth 1,000 words !!!
I bet a 20ton bottle jack in the same setup would work Ok ?? ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

| I do basically the same thing, but using an old car bumper jack (hard to find one of those any more) under the receiver hitch of my pickup truck instead of using a chain. |

 Protrucker,
Broke many, many beads back in the 50s and 60s using a bumper jack under the car bumper.
Then, I found one of these little harbor freight bead breakers at a garage sale for $2.00.
Greatest thing since sliced bread but not quite big enuf for the larger tractor rear tires.
Tremendous leverage there!
Been thinking about building one a bit bigger for that job; not a complicated tool to make.
The last one I did, I used a heavy piece of channel iron across the top of a 20T bottle jack with chains around the tire and hooked to the ends of the channel. It was a little tricky to keep everything balanced. LOL
Same idea as the jack shown in Lou's post..

Might be a little tougher to keep the chain on the jack without adding something to it. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

the tire maul, the truck and ramp, and all the other trick were better when i was younger but now i only used them if the tire was loaded now i used a vacuum pump i made from a frig compressor and put enough vacuum to suck the side down a bit and tap it down a bit on both side because the pump will only take the easy-is (spelling ) side down as we get older we have to work smarter B:-) Dnoym |

Good old handyman/farmjack. Can be used for anything.
I bought a guy one for a gift one time. He hadn't had one before. This guy was a real good mechanic. His son made fun of it when he opened it. Saw him using that jack all the time, I'd just say that jack ain't good for nothing is it. ------------- If it ain't orange it ain't worth ownin' |

I bought my Handy Man at an auction about 12 year ago and paid $30 for it. It was an older one that looked like new. The guy next to me thought I was crazy "cause you can almost buy a new one for that". Well I have the notion that my time driving to the store is worth something along with gas used AND, the old stuff seems to be of better quality than what you get now days. Sure comes in Handy a lot!! ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

That is the way I brake down tires. You have to be carefull when working on a good tire, I have put a hole in one. Do you take the tire off the rim with the skidloader?

| Any front end loader with down pressure should do the trick; trouble is, not everybody has one! |

Around here we call them DeadMan Jacks. Never know when they are going to stick on you and drop whatever you have lifted up to the ground. Every one I have seen hangs sometimes even when lubed good. I had a old 7.5' Lilliston mower jacked up one day....did realize it didn't fully click the last time.....handle flew up and hit me right in the jaw and knocked me to the ground....I have a scar from it. I don't know how it didn't break my jaw...I was in the back by myself so I'm glad it ended up not being real bad....had to eat soft food a couple days. |

Kid down the road has a neat bead breaker.. dont know what its called but it clamps to rim and expands as you tighten a bolt on it with a socket wrench. works quite well but when I went to buy one for myself it was very expensive. ------------- God made man.Sam colt made man equal. |

| I broke 2 grader tires down today with a handyman jack and chain. They have been on the wc for at least 40 years and probably more. They were quite stiff and didn't come off the rim easy either. I feel like I got second place in a 2 man ass kickin contest. |

Thad, maybe you were the one that had one leg tied up? I know how you feel, BTDT.
