Breaking the bead is the biggest problem; since that's already outa the
way it should be pretty simple.  I changed one a few years ago; don't
recall doing "anything special" once it was jacked up to get the tire
off the rim & the new one on.  Just be sure to block it up good so it
don't roll off the stand, jack OT whatever is holding it up off the
ground.

Hello,

Had a great weekend with my WD. Made some extra $ mowing a field with
the bush mower. Its nice when the tractor I spend so much time and money
on can help me make some extra $$$. 

Decided to tarp the tractor this morning and noticed that my left rear
tire was flat. 

I had just fixed this tire about a year ago. 

Considering an attempt to remove the tube while the rim is still on the
tractor? Has anyone done this? I know that professional tire services do
repair tractor tires while the rim is on because my father had it done
on his tractor.....

I do not have special tools, just tire irons and my small backhoe to
break the bead. In this case the tire has already come off the bead. 

How do others repair their rear tires? 

Regards,

Will Powell
