How to mount a rear tractor tire
Mounting Rear Tractor Tires Quickly & Easily | Farmall Super C Restoration Episode 13
Timecodes:
hi I'm p and welcome to just a few Acres
Farm today I'm installing the rear tires
on my Farmall Super C tractor and
they're going to go on like butter
nope nope these are the tires I got
they're Titan 11.2 by 36 and they have
that more traditional 45 degree lug
pattern on them which I like for old
tractors I like to install rear tractor
tires with the rims on the tractor
because it gives me a nice stable
surface to mount on and for lubricant
I'm using this Murphy's
tire lube stuff
it's important to have
good lubricant there we go makes things
easier and I'm just going to lubricate
the bead that's going on first here then
I'm going to lubricate this side of the
rim here on the tire of course you can't
use oil or grease when you mount Tire
because it softens the rubber in the
tube and the tire so this is a vegetable
based lubricant
now we're going to have to jack it up a
little bit can't damage new paint you
know
foreign
to go on is not too bad as far as
getting it to slide in
easy enough before I put the tube on and
put the tire the rest of the way on
I'm gonna Lube up the other bead and you
want to lube up this step all the way
down through here so that the tire can
slide up and seat where it's supposed to
so we'll put this goo all the way around
foreign
next you know you want to make sure
you've got a smooth surface all the way
around inside the tire and these are
brand new tires and not so worried about
them there was a little bit of rubber
leftover molding material in them that I
pulled out this stuff and here's a step
that I usually do but I figured what the
hey this is baby powder and it'll help
keep the tube
from sticking when it seats so that you
don't get wrinkles in the tube yeah Tire
goo so you sprinkle that around in the
tire it'll spread itself it'll work
around we'll put some on here too why
not you know it smells nice and this
time to put the tube in different from
car or smaller tires this valve stem is
different it's actually a two-piece
valve stem I forget the industry they
call it a number but it's got a collar
on it and these are nice tubes they got
brass collars on them instead of the
cheapy plastic ones take that collar off
because you need to take it off and get
the stem through the hole in the rim and
then of course the tube has a side so
this is the side that faces out because
the valve stem on your tire the hole for
it is right here facing this way
I usually start at the valve stem
because that way I know I'm close to the
right alignment and you just kind of
tuck it in here
unfortunately these days tubes aren't
used as much so this tube is actually
made for a 34 or a 36 inch diameter tire
so it might be a little tight going in
here's my valve stem hole
reach in here and find the valve stem
bring it through
put the collar on it
and now I'm going to lube up this bead
here I didn't lube it up before just
because I didn't want to get it all over
my arms when I was putting the tube in
no I like to be a neat mechanic stay
clean right I don't know it doesn't
really matter
when I go back inside Hillary will think
I didn't do anything if I'm not all
dirty then she'll make me go back out
and work some more
now we can go ahead and start putting
this on and you want to make sure you
don't pinch the tube when you're putting
it on
so I feel for the tube in there and push
it back with my hand if needed get this
started is the easy part
and then you'll hit a spot where you've
got one part seated in the drop center
of the rim and then you've got
some friction on the outsides because
it's reached the diameter the tire Loom
helps you push it on
for a bigger part of the diameter but
eventually you're going to kind of Hit
the end of that and that's when you got
to start working the tire onto the rim
and what I do is I take a pair of ice
grips and I hold one side of it on with
the vice grips make sure the tube's out
of the way
you're not going to be very happy if you
put a new tire on the leaks
I know I've been there
now that I got that side secured with
vice grip
I can start working this around and I
feel in here for the two
don't put the spoon in too far
and just work it in little points
foreign
there we go
now before we put any air in the tire we
want to spin it around and make sure we
haven't caught the tube any place
between the the bead here of the tire
and the rim
just take a look you know you want to be
careful
check both sides
now we can tighten up the collar that
goes on the tube here
then we could put some air in the tire
you want to watch and make sure that it
climbs up onto the
edges of the rim here
she comes
I've got it where it's starting to come
up onto the edge the tall end of the rib
and I want to just take a look so I got
to tell you story when I put the new
tires on the 504 my Farmall 504 I bought
these really cheap tires off eBay and
when they came in the mail they were all
deformed like stuff had been stacked on
top of them for a long time and I could
not get these beads to seed out no
matter what I did so what I wound up
doing is putting wood shims in around to
control how it climbed up onto the high
side of the rim to get it to seat evenly
it was a nightmare
foreign
this one looks good though
and there we go this one's seated all
the way around
to the rim onto the outside of the rim
and on the inside too
you kind of got to blow it up a little
bit get that final pop when the final
one sets in now is extra insurance to
make sure the tube's all straight in
there and not wrinkle I'm gonna take my
tire tool
for taking out valve course and I'm
going to take the valve core out of the
tube and let it deflate
and then go bolt back up again that'll
help work the wrinkles out that along
with the baby powder and getting the
tube in carefully
that's good enough it's aired down most
to the way
put the core back in we can blow her
back up
deflating the tube once also helps
remove any air that's trapped in between
the rim and the tire or in that space
there we go pop
now I'm going to blow this up to 14 PSI
because I want it to roll easy because
I'm going to be pushing it in and out of
here so 14 is plenty on it
consult your owner's manual for
recommendations for your tractor in the
cap that's the primary air seal
treater valve's just a secondary air
seal yep
hey she's on her feet one foot anyway
now we can do tire number two
same drill different side
foot doesn't hurt either to help unless
it gets stuck in there I'm not gonna
have a very good day
there we go
foreign
just to know some people say you need to
blow up the tube part way and that'll
help keep it from pinching you that I
don't I don't have a problem with not
doing it but if you want to you can

stuff and roll it back in always
remember to rotate your tractor tires
every 5 000 miles oh yeah I'll be riding
to town and style on these it really
wasn't a bad job if I weren't filming it
it probably I I think it took I didn't
keep track of time 15 20 minutes per
tire start to finish no major Hang-Ups
sir things that can happen like you
can't get the tire to seat on the bead
in that case you got to let the air out
of the tube and try and blow it up again
get it to seat or you can tap on it with
a sledgehammer on the sidewall the tire
to try and to get it to vibrate to set
there are various problems you can run
into now the reason that this work makes
sense for a farmer like me is because I
just saved a whole bunch of money if I'd
gotten the tire shop to buy the tires
and the tubes and mount the tires for me
I'd probably be in the hole about I
don't know at least two hundred dollars
more than I am now I save money by
buying the Tires Direct online I save
money by putting them in myself and it's
really not that hard I hope you enjoyed

have a great day
and I'll see you next time
