[AT] Patching Rear Tire on Tractor?

[George Willer]

The professionals have found that it's easier with the wheel on the tractor.
Not only because of the possible trouble removing the wheel and then
reinstalling it but gravity helps hold the beads in the center well to make
mounting easier.  This only applies to the larger tires.
