Hey FTR, what I have learned it's not about how you get the job done it's more about your willingness to get the job done. Great video on taking on a task, not taking the easy route and in end proving to yourself that you can do what others won't.
If there is a more efficient/labor/money savin' way to accomplish a task, my money will always be on Tyler. Thanks 4 sharin', Good job as always young man!!! 😊👍
Hello to Farmer Tyler Ranch , great work on all the things you getting together for that farm with all those big cows . i love your channel , keep up the good work! Everyone Stay Safe.
I love the idea of the ramp to help break the bead! Ingenious idea! A proper bead breaker would have helped take the tire off the rim though...beats hammering them off! They can be pricey, but they work from small ATV to agricultural tractor and semi tractor tires. We never use a shop for any of our tires, so it saves us money in the long run. It has been years since I’ve had to use an inner tube. These days I thought the only need for an inner tube was to float around on in the pond!😂😂
When you lanced the lump on the cows jaw. The dead tissue you had to pull out was the skin tissue pocket that was encapsulating the abscess or trying to. If it had not come out it would have formed again. Thank you for being so gentle with her.
Hey Tyler, I just recently had to do the same thing, the local tire shops couldn’t do my tires. So we did them in house. Good job adding the information on why ballast is needed. But you gave the secondary reason. The primary reason being that it helps to keep it on all four instead of flopped on the floor. 😉 You and I both know that the weight by right gives us traction and stability all at once. Others may not know the risks of not having said ballast. Keep it up. Good looking tractor.
love the break the bead part. I remember another farmer (? I think) doing lots of weird stuff like a torch and other stuff. That was a couple of years ago. Well done. Will really help me in my condo in Irvine, LOL. However, when I was young and adventuresome I actually changed my oil, my spark plugs, and, with supervision, my brakes on my 1973 VW bug. Now I have a lovely Persian family business that takes care of it for me.
Congratulations!! I have been dreading this job for you cause I knew it wasn’t going to be very easy by yourself. Well, you made it look....well... not easy, but oh so well done. Genius idea to get that tire off the rim, that was impressive. Give Mr. Tyler time enough to get things figured out and first thing you know the job is done. Great job and you do such a good job of explaining the process as you go along. Thanks for taking us along.
Nicely done Tyler. Especially by yourself. It stretches our imagination to figure out ways to get jobs done on our own, that would definitely benefit from having help. Looks great man. Glad you're able to get another tractor fit for duty. Hoping your chicks and calves are all healthy and numerous. Keep hammering bud.
I found this video really interesting. I know nothing of tractors or tractor tires and I had no idea that people use water or have wheel weights That's awesome Thank you for that information
Nice! I just now switched my wife’s front car tires out. My diesel mechanic buddy suggested these packs of self tire balancers that just go right in. So hopefully all goes well.
Great job Mr Tyler,I swear there isn't nothing that you don't know how to do! And thanks for explaining about the water in the tires. I sure was wondering the why of it when you let the water out in the old inner tube.
Great job on the new wheels but you know what would look great with the new wheels is to get some red paint and do the front loader tube frame , justa thought , thanks .
For a first try at mounting tires I would say that went extremely well. Tubeless is by far easier except for seating the bead... sometimes. Getting that old 8-N looking pretty good! A few more rattle cans and it will be too pretty for the field.
Tyler you made that look easy, but I know better. the wheels look great! Now in your spare time you can take the tractor apart an paint the rest of it! love the vids!
Great job! This is not an easy task for a car tire let alone a tractor tire! My hubby and I used to change truck and car tires this way but usually I would try to release them by standing on them and when I had no chance of helping, hubby would have me drive over the edge with another vehicle! Wow! Your way was much better! Job well done! God bless!
Kudos to you! I absolutely despise handling tires. I will avoid it in any way I can. I just ordered tires for one of my tractors yesterday. Thursday I'm hauling it over an hour one way to pay someone $90 an hour to change the tires while I have lunch across the road with my brother.
Great job mounting the tires. The tire store guy we deal said instead of the calcium some people used beet juice. I just hope that the front end of that tractor can will take the lifting of those round bales.
You did really well dismounting and mounting, I see you're very strong....wait until you get a bit older...instead of taking your regular 10" to 13" bites along the tire you'll be taking 4" to 7" bites. Something to remember when it getting tough...take smaller bites. Last year I took off some 1946 mounted tractor tires (super hard rust encrusted rubber)...one I got off the normal way the next one was just way easier to cut of. Impressive wheel weights. Never seen water-coolant added to tires for weights...learned something.
Another great video Tyler! You really know your stuff! And I always wondered if you were the guitar player. I like it… a lot!! You should entertain us with a guitar video.
Tube in tires, water in tires, calcuim chloride, valve stem to hose adaptor....these are the things I need to know! Rebuilding a 53 Jubilee. Always change my own vehicle tires, wondered about the 38's........ great video tons of good info! P.S. I want you barn, tractor and basically life....Please see "What about Bob" for clarification...:)
Yes, make sure that the valve stem hole on the rim is on the correct side with the tire tread pattern so that the valve stem does not end up on the inside facing the rim when it is mounted on the tractor. and before you mount the tire/rim onto the tractor while it is still deflated, now would be a good time to cover the tire with cardboard and finish up painting the rim from the scratch marks of the tire irons. Then when the touch-up paint is dry, inflate the tire slowly so the the innertube does not twist or pinch.
Amazing what you get done without any help! I didn't have any decent tire irons, and had to go to the tire shop to get a new tire mounted for my side x side. Very nice work Tyler!
Having a bead breaker makes the job a lot easier. I have used a hydraulic jack and an IC bumper on my truck to break the bead. Back when I was a tractor mechanic we had tire mounting compound. On my farm I just use straight dish washing soap no water. Like your idea with the ramp and tractor to break the bead. I recently got a 1950 Ford 8N and the rear rims are rotted really bad. Tire is rusted to the rim. Gonna try our idea.
Nice way breaking the bead Works pretty good IF you got 2 tractors or maybe a 3rd back tire and wheel for said tractor getting the new rubbers. And don’t you love how everyone knit picks every damn thing on these videos happens to be bout my favorite part on watching em 🤣🤣
Great Job FTR!!! But you are going to have to paint those front wheels now, they just cant wait. I have changed a lot of 18 wheeler and tractor tires in my life and I loved the way you broke the trires down by driving on them with the tractor, that would have been useful a lot in the past, we always used a tire hammer and beat them until they broke loose, your way looks so much easier. Also, carrying an additional bale on the back of the tractor with a hay spear is great ballast when you need it.
Looking good! Fun to watch you work on the old tractor and explain each step of the way. We have two old tractors like that but they won't be seeing any work done as of health issues. I guess the lesson in that is don't procrastinate or priorities............LOL Funny how both words start with a P. LOL Nice looking job on those and enjoyed watching this! Take good care!
The last set I've done, I did like you - off the tractor. I remember it putting me in a bad mood. I've been told since that it's easier to do with the rim mounted to the tractor. Maybe someone with more experience can comment. Anyway, nice work. I bet you slept well that night
It’s easier imo to mount the rim on the tractor and then put the tire on the rim. That way gravity will help as you work the tire around the rim. Great how you broke the tire bead away from the rim.
Great video Tyler! You made it look easy, but I know it wasn't. You can't really tell how big those wheel weights are till you see them on the tractor. Thank you so much for sharing! Stay safe and healthy :-)
Calcium is highly corrosive and if your valve stem starts to leak you’ll rust your rim out. We use windshield washer fluid as it adds weight not corrosive and doesn’t freeze
Great explanation, great job of just using your hands and brains God gave you to get it Done! Not always easy or sometimes even possible but Always worth a try!! 🙌🇺🇸🇺🇸🙌 God Bless!
Well done! I don’t know how much editing was involved, but that was the smoothest wheel weight installation I’ve ever seen! Did I miss it, or are there no flaps on your wheels? They don’t use calcium chloride much up here anymore due to its corrosiveness. The popular liquid for loading tires here is beet juice. Love the old Ford tractors! Thanks for sharing!
You must have some extra money. Those tires have usable tread left on them. Luckily for me I have a guy close by that sand blasts my rims and such for a very good price. Duct tape some of your old tubes around your tire irons to mitigate scratching the rims.
