Today I learned some new words.....words like "You @^%#@!%^&"....and "Well for *&&#$#%^% crying outloud!"...and simply "$#@%$#%$## and your horse!".....
Now, I've mounted dozens upon dozens of motorcycle tires in my day. And a few ATV tires.......But I'm here to tell ya, you haven't lived until you mount those little diameter front tractor tires. And because I didn't have the proper Schrader valves to mount them tubeless, I decided to use tubes that were in them originally. This only made it about 1000 times more difficult!
The rear tires took about 10 minutes each....The front, well over an hour each!
Not sure how you could even think about doing this without a tire changing machine.
Twice, I had my jacket on and was going to take them to Jimmy at "Dartmouth Tire".....But then I sat down and thought some more....Two pairs of vice grips and a strong back and I got them on!
Now it looks like a PROPER tractor.......
