I screwed up.

A couple of years back my 766's rear tire was leaking fluid. I drained the fluid, got a new tube cleaned the rim and sprayed the rim with rust check and put the tube and tire back together.Everything was great until today. I went to break down the bead to put a new tire on and no way will my slide hammer break it down. The other tire broke down with a little hard work like they ususlly do.

What can i use to get that sucker broke down. Tha rustcheck spray must have glued the tire and rim together. Any surgestions woulld be appreciated. Thanks Kent
 
I would SLIGHTY heat the bead all the way around! May bee a BIG wattage heat gun,or REAL carefull with a flame torch,(R E A L carefull!!!!)
 
lay the tire flat on the ground outside. pour a cup full of gasoline around the bead at the rim edge and leave it sit. do not light it. the gasoline will soak in between the bead and loosen things up.
 
I'll give it a try tomorrow. I put lots of PB Blaster on the bead today with no luck. thanks guys. Kent
 
My uncle used to lay the deflated tire and rim flat on the ground, then slowly lower a plow point onto the tire about half an inch from the rim. It worked every time.

We always use a two point on a 450 to break tires loose. Put a 4x4 about a 14-18 inches long under the hitch and push down. It works really well.
 
Put a bottle jack next to the rim on the bead with the ram of the jack "lifting" on a drawbar or other tough to lift object. Restrain the top of the jack so it can't slip off, and jack it down off the bead. Jim
 
Wow! My knees are knocking! I have been working on medium and heavy duty trucks for two decades and have never seen or heard of this. I have certainly set myself up for this before, but thankfully never had one explode!

I am changing my practices RIGHT NOW!!!! Thank goodness most of the old BUDD wheels are gone! LOL!

A 48" Farm Jack is your best friend in this case. I have been helping Dad change rear tractor tires for 30 years, and have not yet come across a rear tractor tire that the farm jack cannot break loose.

A farm jack is like an old 1970's bumper jack, only heavy-duty. Really, a necessity for any farm. If you don't have one, you NEED one.

Leave the tire and rim on the tractor.

To break the inside bead, you hook the jack head on the drawbar, and put the jack's foot against the tire right at the bead. Jack away!

To break the outside bead, you need a log chain and a helper to hold the jack. You run the chain around the tire, and hook to the drawbar. Jack against the chain. It's takes a little fiddling to get the right angle, but once you get it...
