How to change a tire on a John Deere 

It's nice to find videos that show exactly what the title says. This is just what I was looking for. Great video! Thank you.

Watched nearly the whole video before I noticed the missing hand. Kudos for your tenacity.

One handed. I can’t do this with 4!! Awesome job by a guy who knows the value of work!

Kudos for doing this kind of work with a nub! Mad respect

At 7:22 your advice on pushing the tire down as far as you can REALLY helped me on my L120 tire I was replacing. I thought I was a complete dumbf**k but it was just a trick like that that did the job. I was really fighting that tire till then. Now I’m only half a dumbf**k Great video!

Thank you very much from a real klutz (but safe) around the workshop. I literally was taking an action, coming back and viewing the video, stopping the video, taking the next action, etc. etc.. Very useful hands on video.

How you do that with only one hand amazes me

Mate, great no nonsense straight to the point video. Thanks for helping out a brother down under!!

Mannn i work at a tire shop and take almost 30 min just to do one and props to you brother you did it like nothing wow you an inspiration keep it up gee

I have a JD S120 and the rear tire went flat thanks to a piece of wire that went into the side wall. I thought about just buying a new tire with rim to make it easier, but after watching your video, i am going to buy the replacement tire only. Thanks for posting a quality well explain video, it’s appreciated! Now, its on me to get my tire off that rim, lol! Great video! Thank you.

Great job,took me forever trying to do this on a work bench,never thought of using my knee, You made this look easy,told myself I was never going to change a lawn tractor tire again,should have watch this before I did mine,,,feel like a DUH now...Thank you for the tip,I use my knee next time.....

The knee trick was the key to getting the new tore onto the rim. I spent the better part of an hour goofing around, trying to somehow hold the rim secure, and finally giving up and checking RU-vid. After sifting through a bunch of useless videos, I found this one, skipped to the part I wanted to see, then it took less than a minute to get the tire on. Thank you!

Changed my John Deere tire today using this video. Thanks again

I inherited a D110 with the property I bought. Time for new tires as Slime isn't working anymore so needed a good tutorial on swapping out tires, and this was it!! Great video shots, very good description so you don't have to guess what you mean, and overall excellent tutorial video. I'm headed out now in the 100 heat to give it a go. Thanks ahead of time. :)

After watching videos of using a Harbor Freight tire machine and tools, I’m thinking maybe I made a mistake thinking I could try on my own. After watching your video, I feel better. Plus I learned a few things I didn’t think of. Awesome video. Thank you!!!!

You made this look too easy, now I'm gonna have to do this myself. Thanks for the great video!

I was about to give up getting the new tires on until I saw this. Thanks for posting!!!

Excellent video. Great tips. You just made my tire changing job a lot easier.

I have a 7 year old 140 D John Deere and had to replace the front tire watch your video I started about at 8 p.m. and finish about 11 p.m. it was tough getting that tire out but I got it watch your videos the main thing is like you said do it on little bit at a time thanks guy I just like And subscribe keep on making good videos talk to you later!!!!

Wow, you are the best, I try other utube videos and they didn't help and I saw your video and I mount the tire on the rim in about 2 mins. Thank you, thank you. You are great.

Excellent Video ! Best I've found! I have two to replace on my 2007 JD! Thanks for posting.

You rock man! Awesome and very simple directions.

Thanks for posting this video. Just got myself a free X300 and the rear tires were shot. Not the most pleasant thing to do but thanks to your video I was able to do it myself. Thanks!

Great advice and job! About to tackle this on the rears of my D140. 2 ply coming off, 4 ply going on. Should be lots of fun. Thank you for the demonstration. Nice work.

Thank you for posting this! Huge help.

Excellent video and you’re an inspiration.

Thank you so very much, this video made my day a lot easier!

Wow, thank you for a "real world" scenario. I watched another channel where the tire almost fell off and back on, not typical at all. You are the effin man dude! Did one last night on a old L 120 and struggled to break bead. Ended up using tire iron as a chisel with a hammer to break bead. After that it was pretty gravy. Your slide hammer is bad azz. I am definitely going to make one of those.

Yup! I did em! This helped me tremendously, thank you man!

Thank you so much, buddy. This tutorial was a life-saver.

Great video.... I needed this thanks for posting

Thank you. I rolled a tire off the rim (yes, by screwing around with tight turns at speed), and this has all the info I need+.

Nice video. Honestly, I found a small tire shop in town to install my new walmart tires for $10 each. Well worth the gas and cost to let someone else wrestle with it..

I tried to get my JD front tire off the wheel for two hours (with two hands) and still couldn't get it off. Very impressive!

Thank you so much.Your instructions were clear and I just went out there and did it! I feel so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, you are so very helpful!!!

I watched your video and followed it right to the T and it worked for me thank you very much thumbs up for you for you

Thank you.very helpful video!

You Sir.. Are the BEST!

Thanks alot buddy, you helped me with this video!

Great "How-To" presentation! THANK YOU!

Great vid, very useful. Thanks alot.

Excellent video, thanks.

Great thanks for taking the time on this

Thank you for the great video. I was going to have a pro change the tire. After watching this video, I feel like I can tackle it.

Thanks dude. Awesome instructional video.

Thank you for this video! There are very few places to get a John Deere Riding Mower serviced so we had better get good at servicing on our own.

Wow, you've got some skills!

You are the man. Thanks for your knowledge.

Thanks for the info!

I use a heat gun to take off dust caps. I know I would ruin them with a torch. Awesome video.

Great video, thanks!

Great video....and you dont even mention how much easier it would be with two hands....

Thanks for the video man

You make it look easy.

Thanks for sharing!

Excellent video. Thank you

Perfect video ! Thanks a bunch !!

I assume after you put on new tires that the deck has to be releveled? You sure make it look easy. I bought one of the Harbor Freight small tire changing stands and that works good too. Thanks.

thanks for the video one armed bandit. gained a follower

You'd BE the MAN!!!!!!! THX!!!!!!!!

Thanks this video really helped me...thank you!!!!

Bro ,thanks alot , my fat ass was doing wrong ,I be following u bro thanks again

Thanks for your help!

Heh. this is great. I have never changed a rear tire but a have definitely changed the front ones or removed them. I just break the bead while it is on the tractor before i lift it by kicking it, works every time. Of course mine are typically flat because I ran over some sharp ass tool my son left in the back 40.

You made that look easy. Ty

Nice work, thanks

Nice job

Awesome streat to the point.👍

No bubbles = No troubles.

Awesome video!

Did you just do this with one hand???? Yesterday I tried to do this and I have tools and air and am fairly handy. After denting the rim and scratching it all to heck I gave up. I feel like an idiot especially after watching this video. Good work!

Thanks that great idea 👍

Nice. Thanks

Got it thanks 👍 man

Nice job!!!

Good very good thx.

Well done!

Well Done thank you!

Thanks for the vid. I have an LA 145 and cant seem to get the front wheels off; there end of the hub is bigger than the hub it appears. And it appears it is designed this way.

I HATE those freaking caps. LOL....I get to change out tires this year on mine. I looked at just the tire vs. tire+hub, and wow, for the extra $20 for the two I'll buy the tire+hub assembly. I may change my mind when I get these wheels, but if the wheels are junk I can swap out the tires on the old ones for sure.

Thank you Sir!

Just replaced a flat. Whoever put the tire on the rim used red loctite to bond the wheel to the rim. I had to cut the tire off and spend an hour breaking the seal with a blowtorch and elbow grease. If I weren't so stubbornness, I'd have gone back to Tractor Supply and just swapped the tire for one already mounted on a rim.

What do you run your rear tires at? Thanks for a great and useful video.

A lot of women, me included, watch these "how to" videos because we haven't got a clue as to what we're doing. Your's is the first video that says to put grease on it, thank you! Off to buy some grease...

Nice thanks

You did that like you knew what you were doing. Took me 2 hours just to take the tire off the rim. Probably another 2 hours to mount a new tire.

Great video. Is there a certain type of grease to buy? Thanks!

If you have too big a gap between the rim and the new tire and are having trouble pressurizing it, a ratchet strap (or cord of some type) cinched around the tread will help push the bead toward the rim and make it easier. Sometimes you can just stand the tire up and push down on the tread while pressurizing, but that doesn't work as well.

Great Video, right to the point. Thanks! Subscription button hit!

TY

Great video. I just put tubes in both of my X300 rear tires. What do you use to grease the rear axles? I picked this mower up used and the previous owner apparently never did. Dry as a bone and nearly seized. I want to try and bring it back before it gets worse.

I could not get the golf cart tire on I am not as good and you have 1 arm Damm I suck 😒 you are awesome

Great

Enjoy your videos. Have a similar unit. How in the world did that old tire wear like that especially with yearly lube? How many hours of use?

the best quality front wheels for these entry level John Deere D, E, and S lawn tractors is to go with the one for the John deere X300 or X350 as its a much better wheel and tire assembly which has precision bearings and a multitrac C/S turf tire

Awesome

Thanks, nubby!

Are you using OEM tire or something else? Can you recommend a generic? I have a flat on my John Deere. I have never changed a tire and I'm not even sure if I can but I will give it a shot. This is my first ride on mower and I didnt even know we should be putting grease on. What kind of grease? 🤔 Also where are you located? Maybe you can help me out 😆 I know the John Deere dealer is going to charge me ridiculous prices to do anything. A couple years ago they were going to charge me $350 to do something to my Honda push mower that I did in 5 minutes for free after watching a RU-vid video.

👏👏👏
