Just mounted two new tires. Ether was the only way to get them to seat the bead. You need to be ready to shoot the air because when the hot air cools, it can suck the beads back off! Ether with oil in it won't work, at least it wouldn't work for me. I suspect that's what causes people to us too much, because the ether with oil is hard to get to lite off. I always wear goggles. Ha. If a person is afraid, I'm thinking that you could lay a spark plug on the tire and hook it to a fence charger and stand way back and plug in the fence charger. I haven't tried this yet, but it seems like it would work. I think it's more dangerous to air up a tire holding the air chuck. I had a truck tire blow up on me one time when I was holding the air chuck. Luckyly I heard the tire start to make a crackle noise just before it blew! I jumped back just in time before it blew. Sounded like a stick is dynamite!I now only use clip on air chucks and stand back! I have 2, one has the guts removed for seating the beads, and the other is a regular clip on chuck. If a bead doesn't seat by the time you get to normal pressure, don't use much extra pressure! Let the air out and bounce the tire to re a range the beads. Spray some wd40 around the beads. That works well for me.I've been changing my own tires for years. By the way, that hand bead breaker from harbour freight works very well! It takes me about an hour to balance and mount a tire, so I save $20 bucks. Ill work for those wages! A tire shop can probably do it in 15 minutes!

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
