Have new tube in the '46 A rear tire thanks to Les Schwab and am ready to put it back on. Is there anything that could or should be checked, lubed, or otherwise serviced before I put the tire back into place? The manuals I have are virtually worthless unless you are a tractor mechanic already so any help is appreciated.

I usually liberally apply tire talc to new tubes, then after I pump them up to set the beads I let all the air out of the tube to let it "adjust" to the tire. I don't know if it helps, but I guess it can't hurt. Then I inflate to correct pressure.

NO, you don't have to be a mechanic for the manual to be useful. You just have to be patient and willing to do some homework... No manual is going to lay it all out for you.

As for the tire, it'll be pretty obvious what needs to be done once you get it off the bead and see inside. There will probably be lots of rust and crud. Clean it out, maybe even give the inside of the rim a coat of rust-inhibiting paint? Make sure the rim is solid and there are no thin spots or holes. No point in putting a tire back on a rim that's going to collapse under its own weight...

Generous use of a thick dish soap and water solution on the rim and tire beads will help things slip back together easily.

Be careful and make sure the tires aren't "loaded," that is they don't have fluid in them. That calcium chloride really stings...

If you read carefully he already has the tire mounted to a rim
