[AT] How to seat the bead on lawn tractor tires?

[pga2 at hot1.net]

I had to replace a front tire on my lawn "tractor" Saturday.
It was more trouble to remove the old tire and get the new
one on than to inflate it. That was a piece of cake. Just
stuck the air chuck on the valve and it seated both beads
without a bit of struggle. Guess I just got lucky! :o)
