Cheap dish soap around the bead is your best friend. And won’t hurt the tire like oil will

For future tire dismounting/mounting adventure try a heavy mixture of water and dish soap (heavy on the dish soap) around tire bead, makes it a lot easier. Been there, done that, a bunch.

Hey, I didn’t know HF carried bead breakers? I guess it’s time to go buy one!

Bought one identical to it about 3 years ago before HF carried them.. mine is made from the same chinesium though. Have probably changed a dozen tires with it from 18.4x42” down to 15” auger tires. Works every time, no more using the backhoe bucket or pallet forks to try and tear the bead off of the rim.

That little toy has eluded my radar. Might have to keep that in mind for future problems. I have become aware of the importance of studying the profile of a rim before putting a tire on. Knowing what way to press on the tire to get it to seat when putting air in is a game changer in itself.

Thanks for the review of the bead breaker, I've been looking at it.

Harbor Freight has gotten a lot better in the past 5 years or so. I'm there all the time now. Glad you had luck with this tool.

Cool seeing farmers working on tractor tires, all I ever see is new pickup and at tire shop waiting on mechanic to finish

I bought one of those tools last year, but I got mine online (not from Harbor Freight). I bought the one I did because it was designed to be used with an electric or air ratchet, which is nice. They certainly are a great tool and save a lot of work.

1 3/16 inches is only about half a percent bigger than 30mm, which is probably the "official" size of that bolt head, though harbor freight chinesium isn't known for its precision ;)

You'll find it works just fine with a standard 1/2 drive ratchet.. 8.8 is next to the lowest grade metric bolt, there are also 10.9 and 12.9. 10.9 is roughly equivalent to a Grade 8 SAE bolt.. and a squirt bottle of water with dish soap helps a lot breaking them down...

I'm sure you don't have tire stores calling you constantly trying to hire you to change tires but you got the job done. That's all that matters. 🤣The bead breaker was a handy tool.

Great video showing the bead breaker can't wait to receive mine

This has to be better exercise than paying for a gym membership 😂😂

To the most cynical, driest sense of humor on a farming channel. Great video. Harbor Freight used to be the tool store one would avoid and laugh at people who bought there. Now? It is a delight to go there and spend some time with my crafty woman as we drool over all the tools we really don't need but want all the more.

Doing tractor tires are never easy.

My guess is 6610?

Nice, I would say it go onto the Ford 6610, 👌👌👌

Use an air ratchet but DO NOT use an impact. Keep the threads oiled. I’ve used mine a lot and haven’t broke it yet.

30 mm Socket is quite common in the metric large fasteners. Nice tool review.

Neat tool. This is what I love about farmers. It aint just milking cows! Thanks dude.

Lots of fun. Have a good day.

Auto parts store has tire soap. Mix with water or use straight to block air leaks when mounting. 8.8 is equivalent to grade 5

Show us more! Thats amazing!

I'm digging the Arkansas Razorbacks hoodie. I may be a bit biased though lol

I puchased one a couple years ago. Used my Milwaukee 1/2 inch drive impact 4 10.00x20 tires and 2 tractor tires it was desroyed.

Looks great 👍

A little Dawn soap and water going back together so much simpler as always enjoy your videos keep up the hard

Next time use some liquid laundry detergent. Mixed with maybe a little bit of water in a spray bottle.

Well shit. 80$ tool compared to 300$ x 4 Well worth the money. Plus. Tool still in great shape to work another day

You will mess up the thread if you use an impact. Hand tools only

huh thats pretty handy! yknow harbor freight actually has some pretty good tools. now there are some things you have to avoid. most of them can be avoided with some common sense. their welders are also pretty nice. i have one and i much prefer it over my hobart

FYI next time try driving the skid steer up on the bead of the tire, or use a jack under the counter weight and on the bead of the tire to force it down

One of my most hated jobs on the farm. Couple that with 95 degree July/August heat. Horrible job! I have to say though, that bead breaker is definitely worth the money. Got that on my shopping list. Next time I go to HF 😃

i broke one using an impact on it. welded and added some steel up on it after that happened. worked great for a long time after that! where its at today. ive not idea.

6610

You break the tab off the pushing bolt. I broke one and went and found a bead breaker that can take an impact.

I was wondering if it would work or not Thank You for video

The TC on 38s 🤣😆😀👍

If you break it they will replace it at hf

Spray it all the way around the rim seal. Both sides. The tire will come off a lot easier

Jack-all off tractor drawbar works

I might have tried backing the New Holland up on the side of the tire

I did not know hf made a bead breaker. I'll have to get one.

I was wondering if the HF will stand up ????

The air over hydraulic ones work better if you can find them but is better than beating them off

What were them dual rims for ?? They've got quite the dish to them the set of 9s I got for my 8050 Allis I can't even turn side ways to slide between them

Another ford in the Fleet? 💭💭

What ever became of the 2x2?

Get a gallon of tire lube, or use dish soap. Lube the beads up to save Alot of effort.

Try working on a Dayton wheel/tire inflating without a steel cage and watch the ring blow through your body. Wow.

i thought you had 4 to do to be honest if it was me i would have taken them to the tyre shop

So. That converts to a 30mm. Your tire iron technique to get the rim the rest of the way out is wrong(your using the wrong end of the tool). You also need to be mindful of the drop point of the rim.

Where is 2 +2 is it sold and I think that tire is dual from him

Just dry on it with your front steer tire breaks the bead don't hurt the tire

A powerful tool made in 🇨🇳 snd designed by 🇺🇸

👍👌❤🇨🇦

radial???😂

You need soap!! Big life saver

Jesus christ this is painful to watch. Can you sling that hammer any slower

Where’s is the bandit farmer. Your old buddy.

Horrible Freight for the win.
