that is all good ways but the cheata is the easiest way . and it doesnt cost alot to build  may 40 bucks   we get 75 dollar service call and 65 dollar a hour labor with one hour min

Used to work at a mechanics/tire shop. We used the cheata tank and coated the bead with a something that seemed like lard, or soap. It was made specifically for seating beads. I don't think we came across a tire we couldn't seat that way.

With tires that are somewhat flexible, it helps to get the bottom bead on first by pushing on the other side of the tire. Sometimes you can do that and sometimes it doesn't work.

Pull it off and take it to the shop  ;)

I had trouble with the front tire of my tractor. It just went flat on me,for some reason,no tube in it.  :  I took it off and took it in,$10 for labor and the price of a tube and I was out the door. He carries the tubes because it's the same size as a skid steer. My father and me use to do our own repairs on the front tires. had the spoons and all that stuff. I'm done doing all that.

I use the big IR 185 cfm compressor   .  You need more air going in than escaping .  90 psi at 185 cfm does the trick . I have a 1" hose with a ball valve necked down to 3/8 ' pipe that I push up to the stem with innards removed .

Frank...just chain it up to your tractor and drag it out of your way, bad tire and all. Then get back to work.  ;)

I agree-drag it, or take it to a shop for the repair. :new_year:

Take it to a shop,I'am too stubborn[and cheap] for that.Besides its my favorite log loader,thats why its parked where it is.Today I'll pull the wheel off clean the bead area,check for nails,put mother Murphys soap on it and do it right.I'am slow cutting now anyways.I'am sure this topic has helped outhers,even tubeless lawn tractor tires can be a bear to seat.I should build a bead blaster anyways,I do believe a 20 pounder,ball valve and a curved spreader head will do the deed.

If you build one go at least 1- 1/2 " , I found out a 1  1/4 didn't work very good.   Steve

A while back we put so much ether in a troublesome tire that after we got it to seat it spit the core out,melted the stem inside.That was a first for me.On new tires that are going to be trouble we cut 4 blocks to spread the bead out and then let it sit for a couple of days.

Deed is done,pulled the tire off, cleaned bead, murphys tire soap,ratchet strap.Pulled the core and put the male air fitting over the valve and hooked up  the air.Seated beads and checked for leaks. Frank C.
