Mark , I agree with the other 2 postings "IF" you can get a tire changed for $20.00-$25.00. I doubt a tire company would even look at you for that kind of money in NY State. I shopped around when buying new tires for one of my tractors. Even with buying the new tires , it still cost me $100.00 per tire to get them changed. So for $20.00 , I don't think so. I had the new tires installed for the guarrantee of no leaks , which is always possible. I have changed and repaired many tractor tires of my own. Here is what you do: (1.) empty the tire. (2.) Jack the tire up off the ground. (3.)useing a digging bar about 6-8 feet long with a flat nose on it , break the beads by forcefully jabbing the bar where the tire meets the rim. (4.) use tire irons to take the tires off the rim. You may be able to use big screw drivers. If you want to load your tires with liquid , figure out how much your tire will hold. With the tire off the ground , and the valve stem up to the top , lock your tire brake. put a 55 gallon drum at a level higher than your tractor tire. Connect a hose from the drum to the valve stem. Make sure you have no loops , dipps , or kinks in the hose. Put your solution in the drum and leave. Go do something else. The next day your tire should be filled. Then do the same for the other tire. If your tire isn't filled the next day , it is because you had a loop , dipp , or kink in the hose. This is important , because the air needs to get out. If air gets trapped in the hose , the transfer of liquid is stopped. The garden hose to valve stem adaptor can be purchased at your local farm store. I bought mine at Central Tractor.

Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
