[AT] Cutting Tractor Tires

Sat Jun 10 11:50:32 PDT 2006

Dave,

 Rubber cuts much .... MUCH... easier when it is wet.
I haven't tried it but if I were going to cut a tire with a sawzall I think 
I'd try spraying a little water on the tire as I went.

Subject: [AT] Cutting Tractor Tires

Has anyone on this great list had experience cutting tractor tires? I have 
an IH 10-20 and I've removed the steel lugs from the rear as they tear up 
the trailer during transport and some shows wont let you ride around with 
steel lugs. I want to trim the side walls off of some old rubber tractor 
tires and carriage bolt them to the steel rims. I remember cutting an old 
tractor tire with a sawzall to get it off the rim and that sawzall shook me 
to hell and back. Is there an easier way to slice a tire? Thanks for your 
help!
