Paul - My son and I have did what you describe with loaded tires. So long as you keep the tire/wheel assembly vertical they can be handled by two guys without difficulty. We accomplished it without auxiliary threaded rod "handles" like you propose, though having them might have been helpful. Tips: - Attempt only on hard, level ground (slab or paved driveway). - Jack and securely block both rear axles before starting. - Allow plenty of work space on both sides and in back of the tractor. - Have some plywood scraps of various thickness available to shim under the tires as needed. - Wire brush/sand, then oil the outer ends of the axle shafts before starting. - Most important: BE CAREFUL! Be prepared to jump out of the way should a tire start to go over. Note it's easier - and much safer - to use a loader or backhoe and chain to handle the tires. If you have access to one, suggest you use it! Good luck, and BE SAFE!
