What I did today.

A sawsall with a medium pitch wood blade will cut that off. Cut near the bead all the way around on both sides, then the main rubber will be off. Next use a prybar or dull chisel to drive the beads off toward the center. then pull each to the far side and into the drop center so it will come over the ril flange and work it around. Jim

great tip. I never thot about a wood blade being able to cut rubber.

They are easier to do on the tractor than off. The rim holds still while working and helps with using the weight to get it off by raising or letting it down some keep the tire more centered on the rim as you get it off. I start at the top and work down then just raise tractor to get it out from under the rim when done. New ones I start at the bottom or turn the rim/wheel as I get it on from the top. Some mounting compound helps with both on and off. A vise grip on the edge of the rim holds the tire from working back as you go putting the new tire on.

When you get to my age, I use a loader and put the tire in the truck. Then drive to my favorite tractor tire store. They do the rest of the work and put it back in my truck.

One time after they took the tire off, I took the rim home and removed all the rust from inside the rim.

Thanks to a liquid water base sealer, I had some major rust.

When you get old and crippled up it's a whole lot easier when it is laying there on the ground in front of you. gm

A duck billed tire hammer along with tire
slickum will usually get those broken down
pretty easily.

Those wheels look strange to me. I've never seen cutoffs with the spokes done like that. However, I should mention that I haven't
seen a whole lot of cutoffs anyway...
