Blew a tire out

Today I had a flat in a area that was not accessible to remove the tire and rim assy. Figured I would try to take the tire off the rim, leaving the rim still bolted in place. I was surprised how easy it was to remove and replace the tire and tube. Only major problem was rolling a tire up and down the creek and toting 4 air tanks of air down a 1000 ft trail.
 
I've had a couple of those little ($12-15) 12V air compressors for years. They'e slow, but better than lugging an air tank around by hand. Just add a couple of 'alligator' clips so they can be used anywhere you have 12 volts.
 
i keep one of them 12v compressors in my truck tool box. handy as heck. yup they are a little slow, but like you say, way better than lugging air tanks around!!
 
We had a tire go out on our Dodge pickup a while back. We hauled some junk to the scrap yard and a metal water faucet knob got stuck in the tire. I noticed it when we were filling the truck with gas. We forgot to put the spare wheel in the pickup, so we drove to Tires Plus and got it patched. Those were new tires and then that had to happen :(
 
I don't change many tires, but it sure is easier to do with the wheel bolted up to the tractor. You don't have to chase it around, you can work standing up, and gravity helps you. The only time I will unbolt the wheel is if there is no other way to break the inside bead than to lay the wheel down and attack it with the loader bucket.
 
I have a tire hammer, put it up to the bead and hit the tire hammer with a sledge hammer. I had help to get the tire off but putting it back on was all me and about 2 and a half hours of my time. Biggest problem was I was on a dry creek bank.
