Since it's a dual, I assume it does not have fluid in, although fluid can be changed by draining it, and using air pressure in a barrel to replace the fluid. Not easy, but when bucks are tight, a little ingenuity can save some money. As far as breaking the bead loose, you can use a skid loader or loader bucket, position the bucket edge close to the rim and push after all the air is let out and the lock ring on the valve stem is removed. If that equipment is not available, push a 4x4 post against the tire with another tractor to break the bead loose. If the inside bead does not loosen easily, take the wheel off the tractor and use the same method with a bucket or post. Depending on the dual spacing, the bucket/post idea works with the wheel on the tractor for the inside bead. You'll need a couple wide, long, flat irons to peel the tire over the edge of the rim to get the tube out, and a sledge hammer comes in handy too.
