Tire removal

I dicovered that my rear tire was flat on my JD 1250 Tractor (14.9 X 28). Attempting to add air to the tire, discovered that the bead had seperated from the rim on the outside of the rim (about 18").
Questions,
1. Is there a way to reseat the bead so that I can add air to investigate what caused the flat in the first place?
2. If I need to remove the tire to have the tire service at the garage, should I remove the tire/rim but leave the metal wheel still connected to the hub? Or would it be simpler to remove the entire wheel assembly (more weight involved)?

I have had tubeless tires leaking at the bead and I smeared RTV on tire and rim bead...works for me. Fred OH

As Paul said and I don't trust tubeless offroad tires either. Check for anything protruding through the carcess, apply a plug through the hole, put a patch on the inside and install a tube

And get your mustache trimmed at the same time. I've seen it done but never had the guts to do it myself.:)

As mentioned, just getting the weight off of it might let it reseat. I often use a soapy water solution to lube up the beads on tires that I remount and I do everythign from 14,15, and 16 inch up too 15.5 X 38 rear tractor tires. Paid $50.00 to have a flat fixed one time and said I'll never do that again for no more work than it really is. Biggest problem is getting the bead broke down and thats not really a big problem as long as you leave the wheel on the tractor too do it.

In addition to rwk post, build your compressor up as high as it goes and give it a quick blast of air. You might also try a subtance they sell to seal the open area. I do not what it is called but it is very sticky and fibrous and can be cleaned off and reused. The key, like rwk said, is to get the weight off of the wheel.

Look at the link below. Since the bead is broken just jack and block the axle ans remove the tire. Gemplers has a lub called no rim rust, never dries making future dismounts a piece of cake also a valve stem puller [3.00] is handy. At the Gempler site click ties and acc on left and page2 at the bottom center. Good luck

From your description of the tire off the rim bead it sounds like you have tubless tires. I have had good luck seating or reseating tubeless tires by :
!. jacking up the tractor to take all weight off the tire
2. take a ratchet style load binder and run the strap around the center of the tire tread.
3. lubricating the bead area where tire is to seat with a soap soulution
4. ratchet the strap tighter to push the tire beads close to the rim
5. add air to the tire to seat the bead
6. remove the ratchet strap ( you may have to release some air )
7. put air into tire to desired preasure

If you have to take tire to a dealer I would take only the outter rim with the tire and leave the disk on tire.

In the event you have a tube in the tire. Just lubricate the tire at the rim and put aire in the tube.

I hope this helps you.

If you need to have the tire repaired or replaced, think about putting a tube in it - money well spent.

Many tire places have a service truck & will come out & do the work on the tractor, no need to remove anything. You might want to check.

Paul, that is what I do. After taking the bead off on the outside of the rim, take a rag and wipe the inside of the tire slowly, while feeling for a nail, or other inside protrusions, that would puncture the tube. A great mother n law job, and she can work off some weight while she is at it. Been eating too many TV dinners, and causing my disk harrow to be hard to pull. Yours truly, goof
