Changing rear tire with handyman jack?

jfharper · Apr 4, 2012

How would one tie chains around the tire to use the handyman jack method...I can"t seem to picture this?
Thanks.

Sorry, also how would I get all the fluid out of the tube? I have to remove the tire and tube to weld the rim for a repair. Thanks

OK, one last question, is it possible to repair the tube on one of these rear tires? If so, do you use rubber cement and a regular tire tube patch? OR is there a heavy duty method to use?

When our WD tube valve stem was leaking, we put the handyman jack under that side rear axle, then put cribbing under the axle for safety. We could then turn the wheel so the stem was on top, and replace the stem. I can not help with the tire and tube removal though.

Air the tire up and rotate the valve down and take the core out, the fluid will come out! You will have to clean the tube very well to make a patch stick. The tube must be clean or the glue will not stick. Buy the patches and glue from the same supplier.

Get a new tube, especially if the tires are loaded. It's cheap insurance.

here are some pics of the way i change em with a handy man. be careful so the jack doesnt slip. a bottle of soapy water helps when you start to push the bead down, squirt it in there to help lube the bead. i use a 12v sprayer pump to pump fluid in or out. you can also get a cheap drill operated pump from any big box store for about 10 dollars and the fluid adapter kit from napa to handle fluid transfer

here are pics on a cub wheel

Glennster, I place the tire/wheel combo on the floor under the drawbar of my Farmall H, and then use the handyman jack under the drawbar. The H has 2 full sets of weights plus a loader, so it is heavy. I've broken down everything from a 2-15x14 up to a 13.6x38.

i just did replaced the rear tires on my back hoe. used the bucket on the hoe to break the beads down. that worked a lot better!!!

You can also do that with the wheel still mounted to the tractor.I think its easier that way.

jfharper · Apr 5, 2012

Thanks for all the replies...that helps a lot.

I leave the wheel on the tractor. For one thing, it makes a great anchor to hold it steady.

I've either backed another implement or trailer to near the tire and use a handyman in between the two to push the tire off - or just back another tractor using the three point or such to carefully push the tire loose.

Works great for me and is really quick and easy...

Thanks. If I got a new tube instead of patching, is there a ply rating to watch for?

I've looked at prices and $50 for the tube is what I'm finding...anyway to get them cheaper? Tire is 14.9x24

almost off topic but might help someone. Those high lift jacks are made few miles from me at bloomfield indiana Repair kits are cheap and replacing climbing pins springs AND turing the long bar upside down and around will give new life to what most think is a worn out jack. Address is HARRAH MFG CO 46 WEST SPRING ST BLOOMFIELD IND 47424 PH 812 384 4441 turnning bar eliminates possible wear on slots from lifting more with jack than it was desined for. Bet youall can figgure out how I know this

A abundant dousing with WD-40 or other lubricant will solve a lot of problems also.

A tube is a tube.50 bucks is about right.Try to buy a 18.4x38,about 70 bucks.You do NOT want a 'used' tube.

jfharper · Apr 5, 2012

Thanks, why so big on the tube? Just curious.

oleclint · Jun 8, 2012

To get almost all of the fluid out try this after draining all that will come out:Get a piece of tubing that will go thru the water core opening , Reinflate the tire, position the valve at the bottom , insert the tubing. The pressure will force the fluid out thru the little tubeing.You will have to inflate the tube a few times to drain it out. A piece of radio antenna will work good as it is the rite size to go into the valve opening. clint
