I got the tire mounted

I got home yesterday and dug around in a cabinet in the basement, and sure enough, there was a part of a bottle of dish soap. Took it out and lathered up the tire and it came off in about 5 minutes. Slicked up the other tire and it slid right on. Got the tube in and pushed back from edge of rim and slicked up the outside and got it on in short order. Really helps when you have the right tools. I had asked my wife to get me a bottle of the cheapest dish soap she could find. When she got home she gave me a bottle of red soap and asked if that was what I wanted. I said that it would work, but if she had gotten green soap it would match the tractors. She didn't laugh. So tonight, I'll put the other dual on and the chisel plow and see if I can run over some cornstalks. Oh, by the way. The tire I mounted wasn't as good as I thought, some pretty good weather cracks in it. I'd best watch some sales this winter for a cheap set of 18.4x34 duals. Chris
 
Use vegetable oil out of the Mrs cooking supplies. An organic oil will not attack the compounds of the tire.

Tire lubes don't go bad if sealed each time used and a gallon of Ru-glyde doesn't cost much just to have around.
