This is an excellent video demonstrating the proper use of tire spoons. The vice grip idea is something I've never thought of, but it makes perfect sense. This job was done efficiently with no unnecessary moves. Great job!
Hey Boe, I been trying to change the tire on my tractor and came across your video. That kick on the tire when prying over the lip was a real gem of a trick. Got the tube changed out and back in action fast AF. Thank you for a great video.
Well I am officially impressed with that operation. The only thing I seemed to be lacking is that hydraulic arm helper there. It's amazing how much easier it becomes when you have the right tools available. Good Job!!
no he was not, he failed!!! the first thing he did wrong when trying to get the back bead on the front flange was he should have used the Boom and pushed up on the top of the tire while baring on the last of the bead!! plus more Murphys would have helped!! all in all, very poor work!!
Yep changed many tires and my share of rusted rims. This guy did a good job for being in the field. I enjoy watching someone else doing a job I have struggle with. DEFINATELY LEARNED A LITLE MORE, ESPECIALLY REMOVING THE BACK BEAD OVER THE FRONT OF THE RIM
yes you do!!!! MORE is better! it helps cause a vacuum if placed on the edge of the front flange, so when you seat the bead, the bead will push the Murphy out and not have any extra on the inside crown, which could cause wheel slippage if not applied right!! I do that every time, and it never fails, and i have never had one OTR come back!! he just lacks the knowledge on how to utilize that boom as he should have placed the boom on the top of the tire, then bar on the last part of the rear bead onto the front flange!! hes a classic lazy tire guy with no work ethic!!! do not do what this man does, so many safety codes he broke as well!!!!
@@kspeed419 HAHA yall are hilarious.....learn to do it right and without the use of a crane and then you will really be doing something. I do large ag tires literally every single day and have never used a crane. I learned to fix and replace tires starting at 5 years old with my grandfather and have been doing it ever since and have never used a crane or anything else to assist in lifting the tire. There are multiple better ways to do it. Also....the murphys does not create any sort of vacuum....I don't know what you think that term means but it doesn't apply here that's for sure. This guy could have done it a whole lot better and probably not used any murphys if he had the proper cheetah tank that's made for this.
It's amazing how tires change the look of a machine from old to ready for work, it will be interesting to here how you feel about her push now with the new tires? I guess rubber getting hard is something we have over such a long time you just get used to tire spin instead of tire bite. Thanks for sharing Matey, Stay safe well and Blessed
Reminds me of being 16, - at the time my father owned an auto repairshop (for all kinds of vehicles), and one of my jobs was doing exactly this! - And, as with almost anything, it can quickly be learned, and in point of fact - it's not a big deal. - Still and all, watching someone doing with ease somthing yourself have never done, might seem both facinating and 'intimidating' - until you got the skillset under your own skin! . . . . . . . . ;-)
Good man at his job nothing worse than having someone standing watching you while you work bet if he wasn't there he would have used fuel to pop up them tyres !! 💥💥💥
I'm a Goodyear OTR tech. This guy is on par with time. It's really not as hard as it looks, especially with the boom truck. I always use soap as a last resort, get 19L 24s to take air all day with a cheetah tank.
Looking good for new tyres for the Backhoe, repacking a cylinder, and she can do many hours work for you Chris ✌👌 Yellow and black paint job and she is good as new 😊
Dang, that boy is impressive. I used to work for a tire shop in my younger days. We always hated those split rims, this guy puts these on without a machine. Don't want to wrestle with him.
Vise grips save lives no way to get the tire on without them and good bar work I am the tire man at my shop. 4 years of experience and from what I see you have some too
What a job. I hope he is getting paid good. Its one thing to change 1 set of tires, but to do it all day every day several times a day on many different machines for years and years... Takes a special person or some high wages to want to do it.
The more you do something like this, the better you get at it. And over time you acquire the proper tools and equipment to go along with the experience.
I like the hook on the crane. Beats wrestling with heavy tires. I still prefer the method of using starting ether to seal the bead. A good dose indeed the wheel and light with a torch the tire will jump right in place.
I remember helping people at our Country store, change tires with inner tubes, a hammer, and a crowbar, burning tube patches and glue too. Changing a car tire with a new tube was a bummer and expensive.
You are good but that is like on Bob villa everything goes just right. I have never changed a tractor tire that had no rust in it and broke off the bead even close to that easy. I did a front tire that same size 2days ago and had to use a hydraulic bead breaker on it on both sides. Then clean the rim with a grinder for about 30 min. That's the real world tire fixes.
I always thought a landscaper wanted bald tires. At least low profile threads. Now some of those customers are going to be pissed at the marks left on their lawn and fields. I guess the trade off is you don't get yourself stuck on that hill or in that MUD. Nice JOB. Made it look easy.
I’ve been doing tires for a long time but I still watch and learn from others I was taught that someone does something some way that might make it easier
I'm the guy who never is too big on safety.....flipflops and welding....but I think I'd have a hard hat on at 7:32. This guy makes this look easy would love to see a novice try this.....
I need to change the back tires on my Case 570. Was planning on blocking up the back end of the tractor and pulling the wheels and trailer to the tire shop. A mobile guy would certainly save some grief.
Depends what you are willing to spend, my company charges 105 an hour to come to you and change them, less than 105 to change all 4 of you bring to us lol and the hourly charge includes drive time to u and back home
Me and my buddy had to break down and remount 4 30.5x32 R2 logging tires by hand. We had a 5 gallon bucket of that tire soap and did just what this guy did to re-seat the bead. You get about 95% of the soap back after the tire seats. cool thing is it's actually soap, you just wash your hands with water and your hands will never be cleaner.
I’ve seen these guys in action several times growing up on a farm, one thing I have noticed....none of them are old. I’ve also seen them use locking pliers like that too, you’d think Vise Grip or some other tool manufacturer would have created a specialized tool for this job.
those pry bars are nice too... i bent a crowbar once... wasn't long enough and i was too cheap to go buy two longer ones to use for a few minutes... should have just borrowed somebody's
1001ewaste... yep, as a buyer... 15-20 mph wind, it's raining 1/2" per hour, pulling the tire truck 1/2 mile through mud to and from the machine with a dozer...and oh, the lovely invoice arriving in the mail later, the good old days, glad they're behind me! Those men earn (and deserve) every dollar they get paid.
Heh, Thats pretty sweet. Didn't even have to unbolt th wheels from the beoiatch. Hope that dude trains some help. He's gonna be done for by years 40 or 45.
Done for by 40 or 45? Hell I started when I was 16, I just turned 48 last month, I can still do this shit all day every day, I might be a tick slower than I used to be but no where near done for, and these tires be small potatoes, judging but what I could see of that boom he does much larger, personally the largest loader tires I've changed are 45/65r45 largest haul truck 27.00r49, and not done for 😄👍
Just a helpful hint. Being that you're doing it on the machine, if you take a long enough 2x4 and place it against the tire and a contact point on the machine....you could just turn the wheel to break the inside bead. might be worth a try, next time
hey chris I live down in Delaware and we have a case excavator and that frigging thing has no power so we went and tested a Volvo and now we have a Volvo and its the best excavator we owned thanks for the advice from the vids on volvo
Good idea especially when the tires are over 10 years old and are rusted to the rim. Reduce pressure until the rim is close to the ground and roll around on some grassy area, not concrete. Concrete might bend the rim. This will probably ruin the tube if it has one but if it's that old it should go back new anyway. Flexing the sidewalls will facilitate remounting too.
Id give him a 5 out of ten. Next time use a motorcycle bar for the BackBeat of the 19.5 24. Use a ratchet strap instead of bead soap. You have some learning to do my friend but your ok.
if you place a 4x4 block under the axle vertical, it makes it a lot easier. figure out the right length you need to keep it up in the air, and it's not going up and down so much... I liked doing that, but it's just a suggestion...
You should have put a block of wood between the back of the tire and the frame of the backhoeinsted and turn your steering wheel hitting the rim like that will eventually start leaking air
I Just spent the past three months looking for a used backhoe, and I am pretty sure you are only supposed to change one tire at a time and give it plenty of wear before you change another one.
Thomas R. Miller Your right, but he used the soap gue, and didn't have to pray! I used to change semi tires back in the seventies, remember the old split rims they called them! Many a man died or lost limbs changing them! once knew a man who was killed instantly, by the ring blowing off, and slamming him to crush him to the shop ceiling. another friend of mine lost his wrist from the explosion! Work safe, not dangerous. This man here is a professional, and got the job done. Hats off to him!
