Mike, You are working waaaay toooooo hard! I use my 580 as a bead breaker on most of my tires. Simply lift the backhoe on the loader and outrigger stabilizers, pull the rear wheel and use the hoe to pop each of the beads on the ground behind the hoe. 30 years ago I made a set of spoons with 6' lengths of pipe welded to a flat leaf spring I cut in half. Once the beads are popped some "soapy water!!!" and a pair of good spoons and a vice grip pliers it is easy pulling the tire on the ground. Start to finish and ready to go back to work, about 45 minutes. NOTE: be sure you start setting the bead on the side at tube filler stem first or you are more likely to damage the tube when putting on the tire. The pros may change a tire with the rim on the tractor with a service truck but it is much easier for one person with basic tools to do it on the ground. I did enjoy watching and feel for your struggles.....old equipment can be sooo much fun, thanks for the video!
i did consider that before i started to use the backhoe to break the bead. if i get another flat i think i will drive it flat if that doesnt work pull the tire off and use the backhoe. Good tip about starting at the valve stem. It seems like i know about that, but didnt execute well.
@@mikekisch5563 Mike, rolling it while flat is not a good way to break the bead. It can easily damage the tube and is very hard on the tire's side walls. A couple years ago I was working 2 miles down the road with my hoe and a badly cracked rear tire had the tube come through the side wall. I had just gotten a new tire and tube ready to mount but need to do the work for the neighbor and figured the old tire would get by. IT DIDN'T! I rolled 2 miles home on the flat, totally shredding the side wall and tube. NEVER BROKE THE BEAD! I was careful not to damage the rim. In hind sight would have taken less than an hour to change the tire before I left to do the job.
@@chuckinwyoming8526 i agree. i dont think i would try rolling 2 miles to break the bead, but 6 feet on dirt. i will try that for sure. my back and frustration is worth that.
Well, I learned that bead breaking trick on accident...a few times 😅. I just needed to see someone do this. I've been needing to tube a front tire on my tractor for a while. Gashed a sidewall and stuffed about 4 plugs in it. That has lasted for years now but I'm tired of having to air up every few days. Thanks!
Thank you for doing this video. I have a Case with the same size tires, 1986. Rear tires leak down after a couple of weeks. Tire shop wants $125 to install a tube. Looks quite do able! Like the comments about using the hoe to break the beads.. Thank you again!
Yep cut the old stem out and patch the hole, get a new valve stem relocation patch glue in and your in business. Tip use a lot more soapy water when braking it down. Thanks for the video!
Take the wheel off lay it flat use the stabilizer to push down and brake the bid, or drive the tractor and make sharp turn left or rite but don't destroy the tire easy
I suppose you could any of the 4 hydraulic bead breakers that come built onto a backhoe, loader, both stabilizers and the hoe but the best control is with hoe at the back end and carefully work one or two teeth in between the bead and rim then push down.
I found this out when I backed it out of the shed forgetting the tyre was flat because it was up on the stabilisers. Broke the bead while reversing out with flat tyre.
@@mikekisch5563 Hahaha. For sure! I have a slow leak on one of mine so I'm often putting air into it. Don't know if they have tubes in them or not. I always enjoy your vids! Especially first one bringing it to life.
