I bought the same one today and breaking the bead was not happening on 20 year old ranger wheels. The soap in the bead was the advice that helped!! Thank You And the stem removal and no attachment on compressor hose was epic advice for setting the bead. Thanks for that too!!
I use a different bead breaker. ESCO Manual Tire Bead Breaker - Model# 70160. Give it a look. I use it on vehicle tires as well and works great. We all have our favorites. Also use tire iron or mounting wrenches to put them on again. They also make it very easy. Thanks.
LMAO, show them how to actually do tire work!!! (I shouldn't say that, I've heard once you get out of my area, they're actually pretty good....but here, LMAO!!! My dog can do better, at least she can tell a flat one from a full one!)
@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin My question is, can you? Only kidding, I know you can, Merry Christmas neighbor!!!! This was quite entertaining. Hope the fellow making these videos doesn't get seriously injured playing around with something as dangerous as mounting tires. I got quite concerned when he didn't even have a gauge to see how much pressure he was putting in the tire while seating the bead and standing up against the tire and no eye protection, and so on. I wonder what he will do if he comes across a split rim.
@@nicklambing9268 split rims get a bad rap... It they are in good shape, not worn or cracked and cleaned up and put together properly, they are pretty much as safe as a drop rim... But, most people have no clue, so they're dangerous. Really too bad, as we have some equipment that a drop rim would t fit. Good to see you on RU-vid again Nick!! Merry Christmas Neighbor!!!
Good Morning Tyler I remember those hard days. Some guys got hurt very bad. Please be careful. You're very smart Tyler. Keep up the good work . Thanks for sharing.. Have a wonderful blessed day.
I feel the same way about setting beads! I'm glad the tool worked out. A lot of times things like that are just a waste of time/money, and bend or break the first use. Thanks for sharing bud!
Good video. A few suggestions that may be helpful. 1) The HF full size tire changer works better on ATV tires. It has a index pin that keeps the rim from rotating. 2) Inflate the tire to 5-7 psi to break the bead. This works even after one side is broken. 3) HF sells tire tools that are handy for this work. 4) HF sells a lock on air chuck that has a short air hose and pressure gauge that keeps your hand away from the tire when resetting the beads. 5) New tires are frequently compressed in shipment and difficult to expand sifficiently to get the beads to hold air. A ratchet strap around the tire tread helps expand the bead.
@@farmertylerranch4399 or just drill a hole where you have the lug nuts then put a nut and bolt tighten that will keep it in place.great video your the man.🙂
Before tire slime was available to the public we used a can of evaporated milk to seal up cactus spine punctures. You wanted to be well away from the tire guy when he let the air out of that tire and/or broke the bead. Year old evaporated milk doesn't smell good at all.
You need to weld something on to the stand that you mounted the tire changer on that has a solid pin the comes up and sticks through one of the bolt holes in the rim that way it will foul the rim in place that way it can't spin around when your breaking the bead that way you don't have to hold it in place and that will give you an free hand to hold the bead breaking tool the tire changers in tire shops has the same thing but it retracts when not in use
For a second I thought it was Thursday morning.....my bad!!! lol. I just bought a pair of tires for my Honda Foreman ATV yesterday. Not cheap...I'll be putting those babies on this weekend. Oh......and a buddy of mine saw a comment of mine on your channel and texted me " I see you are a subscriber to Farmer Tyler Ranch on RU-vid. That's one of my favorite channels to follow." :)
Haha yeah when I try to film and edit everything in the same day they get posted a little late! Good luck with your tires, I actually ordered two more for the front supposed to be here Tuesday. That’s really cool to hear about your friend! Thanks 48!
Whew, you did it! I kept wanting to help. Oh yes, I remember my daddy telling us kids to “get back”. Those old two part rims were dangerous. Good review on the tool.
Use a stiff Cheater Bar Get a big weighted rubber hammer. Hit the tire while putting pressure on the tire with the Bead Breaker Bar. When you put the tire back on or a new one, make sure you get all of the rust off of the wheel, down to clean metal. Then paint over rusted area and allow to dry. Permatex makes a paint on Rust Treatment in an 8 oz bottle. It works great when can not clean rust all off to bare metal. By the way - OSHA SAYS freshly mounted tires should be aired up in a cage. If possible use a lock on air chuck with a remote valve on the hose. The Rust Treatment chemical I use is made by Permatex in a 4 oz bottle
When using the bead breaker make sure the edge toward the wheel is as close to the wheel as possible even to the extent of pounding it in between the wheel and the tire. The farther out you are the more flex in the tire sidewall will absorb the energy you are putting into pushing the bead off of the wheel You can see in your vid that the sidewall is flexing away from the wheel and your bead breaker is not pushing straight down on the bead. Watch the action of a regular tire machine the bead breaker is pushing down and in not out and away from the wheel. I would try to keep the wheel locked down as tight as you can get it as you loose force when the wheel is able to move away from the holder.
I have been doing my own tires most of my life. It is a man's job. Don't be afraid, but be careful and try to think ahead before you act. Experience will make it easier. Understanding how how the tire goes on and off really makes a difference too. Examine the rim to determine which side the tire comes off from before you start. I dealt with many split rims years ago, but you will not likely ever run across them. If you do, a tire shop won't help you. You did fine. It will be easier next time.
When you first put the tire on the changer you should tighten the center of the tool really tight. Doing this will keep the rim from turning. You were having a lot of problems trying to hold the rim from turning and that would solve that problem. If you look at the part that sits on the rim you can see that it has a concave shape. That is why you should tighten that down very tight.
I've got the full size tire changer and the process is pretty much the same except the bead breaker is on the ground, not on the center post. Being able to use the bead breaker while mounting seems like an improvement.
I bought one two years ago I made mine mount to my receiver on my pickup with 2in. square stock and had it come out past the tailgate when its open ! works killer
If you have a huge amount of compressed air that will do it. If not then use a tie down strap and crank it around the tire to force the bead to mead up with the rim and add your air. Once you get the bead set you take the strap off. Or put some gasoline in the tire and light it, seen that dome plenty of times too.
Being a guy who has changed countless numbers of tires fro skidder tractor truck tires from 10.00 20 downward I would recommend squirting some of that soapy water on the bead and valve stem to check for leaks the little white bubbles mean troubles. Great video and yeah like someone mentioned new tires new valve stems. 😁👍👍
I attached the red base to 2in square tube, and use it in hitch receiver. This way I can work on tires anywhere, just drive my gator there. For extra rigidity I put wood blocks underneath.
I'm exhausted watching you change that tire. I think I will opt to still just run to the local tire shop and let them use their machine and change it for me.
Nice being able to change your own tires. I was able to find an older Coats 30-30 tire changer on Ebay for cheap , sure makes changing tires easier . Love your videos , keep em up Thanks
I had a Coats Rim Clamp briefly and sold it and bought a HF manual. Never looked back. The Rim Clamp tore up a couple of beads and the bead setter jet system didn't work for nothin'. I'd rather get good at the manual dissmount and mount.
I don't mind the green slime, works well with non-highway tires. Fix-a-flat, or like I call it make-a-mess, is not used properly most of the time and it just makes a mess.
Thanks for the video Tyler, not many people today would not even know how to change their own tires, they take them somewhere or have a company come in to do it. It's a lost art, good job for doing it yourself!
I agree times have changed and me being around so long I have seen a lot of change. a lot of truck stops had tire men with a arm missing. the medal bead sometimes blew off while airing up. steel racks changed all that.
@@farmertylerranch4399 Best to hide behind a solid cement wall. Only fill to max pressure , no more than tire is rated for. Lock on air hose from 20 feet away and use remote valve. If it doesn't set let it sit for a time till it does. Add more soap and water. Start over.
Nice! I’ve always been a fan of harbor freight. Their pneumatic and hand tools have been pretty reliable (aside from a couple broken sockets). I stay away from any of their tools with brushed motors, been let down a few times by cheap buffers and a drill.
Yeah I stay away from that stuff too. It’s always a trade off on quality vs. price. If it’s something I use a lot or will really depend on I’ll spend the money. Otherwise HF has some good alternatives!
I had no idea you could use only the air chuck with the valve stem removed to help seat the bead. Great way to get a good volume of air into the tire...
It is good to know such work and have tools for it. The tire store is today, it is gone tomorrow. Impossible? Possible, possible... This one who did not survive that, mocks that.. Everything is ahead of you. I don't get tired at this sight. Good job. Greetings. :):):)
Great video as always (even of ya was looking at the wrong camera, just poking fun at ya). Call me lazy but I'm still going to take the tires to the tire shop. I tried changing them once and decided never again,
I work for a city municipality and years ago while the boys at the tire shop were seating a two piece rim from a garbage truck , one part of the rim came out of the cage and took a guys head off ,true story. Those are the same type rims that are used on mobile homes when you move them. Very dangerous business.If you’d like I can send you the picture. I heard a similar story that happened at a fire stone back in the 70s.
Nice. I don't mind tires that size because they fit on my bigger manual tire machine. What I HATE is the little 8 inch rims on my Grandpunk's four wheeler. I fought one of them all night this weekend and ruined one of the wheels. I mean ruined as in won't hold air and ripped one of the lug holes out. lol... I'm looking for something that will work better on tiny wheels. This looks like it might be the ticket. Thanks for sharing.
My only critique is that the piece you kept calling a valve stem is actually the "core". I've changed literally hundreds of tires, and this setup looks pretty straightforward. Also, Slime is not only nasty and rarely works long term, it also makes it extremely difficult to get a patch to adhere properly when you try to repair the tire correctly.
Nice! Lube the crap out of it. It helps... Looks like your at the max as you've said. They make a large tire changer also for the larger rim hole. I have both just incase. For $50 you can't go wrong....
Nice job for the first time you can always use a big pipe to make your job easier and allows keep the tie in the center of the rim you'll love it I think you missing other parts it's like spring axle goes to the log nuts hole this way the tire doesn't twist
Great review tyler. People tend to run down harbor frieght. But they have alot pf great tools for great prices. Plus their guarentee. Do they make one for like car and pickup tires? Sure beats some tire irons on the ground, ive done a few semi tires the old manuel way again thanks for sharing
Thanks Kory. Yes they’ve definitely got a few things that are pretty good. I have seen one they have for full size tires but never used it. Anytime I can get out of working on the ground is a good thing!
i got an esco bead breaker clone on ebay. broke the beads on my truck tires easy. i'd look into one if you want to change bigger or more tires. with a welder, you could probably make on with some scrap and bolts.
Truck tire shops use a tire cage to set beads. The old two part wheels with the removable rings were the most dangerous. The part you removed from the valve stem is the core. The stem is the part that sticks out of the wheel. Always put a new stem on with a new tire. A rookie mechanic airing up a new tire on a business jet with hi pressure nitrogen blew up a wheel and took out a wing on a jet. He was at the wing tip and the wheel went from the tip to the fuselage taking out all the structure on the way. Fortunately he was not killed. That shop went out of business.
Good review FTR !! In my book you probably did one of the most aggravating tire changes out there!! Lol Only suggestion I have that hasn't been mentioned yet in the comments, buy ya a 1 gallon bucket of tire and tube lube , it's reusable and slicker than go-jo or Wd40 ... a game changer, you know how I know this, lol... congratulations on them subs my friend!!
Thanks BTO! I think I’ve seen that stuff before, almost like a nice between jelly and play dough! Yeah I hit a big milestone recently with 15,000, so crazy! I never thought I’d make it this far!
DRILL MORE HOLES IN THE RED BEAD BREAKER AND IT WILL GIVE YOU MORE ANGLE LEVERAGE AND LENGTHEN UP YOUR BEAD BREAKER AND YOU COULD PUT A PIECE OF PIPE ON THE HANDLE AND IT MAKES QUICK WORK OUT OF IT!!
Yes, "lots-O-Soapy water" and get some Murphys tire mounting compound (probably from a online store). I'd used the larger tire stand that HF sells if it would fit. Get some tire spoons and real tire bars. Doin' your on tire work is the best money saving thing a farmer can do, just for the reason you gave,"Time". I bought the big slide hammer bead breaker for my tractor tires. Keep some assorted stems and cores and core removing and the stem inserting tool (it's a stem cap on a small cable string thing) to fish the stem up thru the hole. I even bought a Bead Cheata air tank to help set beads. Good Luck to ya!
Setting the bead. Lol. If you worry about setting the bead. You would really freak out on a old split rim. They were dangerous. Seen a few sping. They were known for taking heads off, top of head off and inbedding into heads. Every uncage springing I knew of resulted in death All I needed was to see one spring in a cage. It dented the cage. After that, I would not do one without a cage. Some people would wrap a chain around the tire. But I seen that fail also. All I'm saying is on a scale 1 to 10. The pucker factor on a split rim is 1000. Thanks for the video. I was thinking of getting one. But after seeing it desided not to. Looks as hard as using a pick and spoons. I'LL just do it that old way. BTW. If you have a tire that just won't set the bead; the following are good ways. GAA grease Lard There is a soap that's as thick as GAA. Have used it but don't know where you get it. And then there is the pyro method. Spray inside tire with an arousal. Throw a match at it and back up QUICK. makes a loud POP. Oh and some flameage. The pop puts out the flame. Now this one also has a high pucker factor. Because the pop sounds like a 12 gauge. I only used this one when tire is extremely hard to sit. Its a last resort.
Btw. I said that I will use a pick and spoons. For someon not experienced in that method That tire changer would be a good idea. So, what I'm saying is, if you don't have the experience with pick and spoons. This tool looks good. Both methods look to be just as hard.
Hey Farmer Tyler... Harbor Freight is great as long as you don't use the tools daily for working. I've bought a buffer and orbital sander and a lot of other things that I use once in a while. You can't get parts for them if they break. (such a bearings and motors) I was wondering in real time how long it took, but if you can get er done in just 30 min. that's a good thing ....
It's not bring a baby Tyler it's hsveing good reflectses ....against danger n things that can really blow up cause of pressuer n send those tools flying out of control is too much sir ,even if it happens rarely. It dies happen !!! N being on the alert is what has save many a man n women I've know that worked with these very machines daily as part of their job or business you did good my man ...n I've been around for over 7 decades !!! Been there n done that !!!
looks like it could be a handy tool, i think you picked one of the most stiff atv tires on the market lol I had a set of those executioners, they're a pain to work with but they wear decent and hold crap do they dig. i'm going to be in a bigger town tomorrow night with a harbor freight, I might have to swing by and check one of them out. Good video sir, its fun seeing how some of the cheaper tools on the market work .
Thanks Brenton yeah those Executioners are no joke! Sometimes you don’t even know they’re flat the sidewall is so stiff! I got them because they resemble tractor tires and you’re right, they can definitely dig!!
@@farmertylerranch4399 exactly right, i had them on a 4 wheeler and i had one flat and i didn't know it until i hooked up a trailer and made it squat lol
LOL....bought the same thing for the same reason from the same place......Oh ya....same results....Good video. PS went back and bought a couple of their flat bar tire irons...I too needed the cheater bar...
@@farmertylerranch4399 There is significant validity to that. Segway, I took an RTV tire to a shop in Auburn, I was given a litany of reasons they couldn't put a boot in the side wall. It made no difference this vehicle will never get out of my pastures much less out of four wheel drive. I stopped at Harbor Freight on the way back to the ranch. The tire has a boot in it now!
I have change a lot of tires in my life and dealt with slime (a cellulose based product?). Never heard anyone say it eats the tire... The most complaints I have heard are about fixaflat, that I am thinking people said was corrosive.
When mounting the tire on the rim make sure the opposite side stays down in the center of the rim, the whole time, while mounting it with the bar. Not just in one spot like you did but about 45 degrees around the rim. When you force a tire with the mounting bar you can break the cords in the bead of the tire. The piece you removed from the valve stem is the valve core. Thanks for the video.
