it'll seat a lot easier using a ratchet strap (or rope/stick) around the tire. Don't add too much air once it seats without removing the strap.

There are 2 ways to solve the problem with putting air into a tire that has lost its bead. Number one is take the valve core out this will allow more air volume to enter the tire faster. Number 2 is you could try a ratchet strap around the circumference of the tire and that will prevent the tire from malforming

Spending 12 min of my day watching a grown man fix a Tire. And I'm happy to do so. Educational and somewhat relaxing. Carry on good sir

I strap the center of the tire and it squeezes the bead out when I can't quite seal the bead. Hammer works good too. Excellent idea!

I worked in a tire shop for 2 years. The ratchet belt is the way to go! If you don’t have one use a belt or a rope. All work just fine. You also might think about getting a nozzle that clips on instead of holding. That way you have use of both hands.

Don't put yourself down, ths is a perfect video. Someone needed this video

Well done Wes. You were exceeding restrained in your vocalisms when the lever snapped back at you! Love your videos whatever content you cover. Take care and stay safe. Stan

Starting fluid!

Taking the valve core out will make it easier to seat the tire on the rim. Get a full blast of air quickly. Then just replace core and air up to proper psi!

Cute finishing piece showing clearing the area.

Time lapse aerial footage at the end was great.

Boy it never fails. Something you would think should be a relatively simple fix turns into a long drawn out process. I admire your determination.

A great idea I saw for "woods-proofing" a farm tractor included welding a short section of threaded pipe around the valve area, and covering it with a threaded pipe cap. This makes me want to follow through!

Glad to see you take the initiative to fix your tire yourself and show others that you don’t always have to run to the tire shop to fix your repair. Always enjoy your wholesome videos thanks for sharing them with us and God Bless

Just yesterday, I discovered that the left rear valve stem on my ‘60 Oliver 550 is leaking. If it was a front tire, I might have tackled it, but I’m a rookie, so I’m going to have to get a pro out to fix it. Love your videos!

Such a satisfying end, great video! Keep up the good work, hope you 're fine!

You dealt with this much more patiently than I. I would've been too annoyed to make a video out of it. Nice job!

Hey Wes! I'm happy that you got it fixed! Makes me feel good that I am not the only one who has that kind of stuff happen, lol. Give my best to Howard! 👍

All's well that ends well! The aerosol can trick would have probably seated that tyre but you got there in the end. Thanks for the video

Nice job. In-the-field maintenance is never any fun. Not being a "tire" guy, I appreciated all the good advice in the comments section.

Two tire seating ideas - remove the valve core and then hit it with your air - the issue is volume not pressure. The second is to remove the valve stem - take your can of starting fluid with a "straw" and give it two quick squirts into the tire - hit it with a lighter - it will go "frump" (small explosion) with enough force to seat the tire but not hurt anything. The ideas others gave to use a ratchet strap works a lot of the time.

That’s like hitting the lottery to break off that valve stem. Nothing worse than having to do a job twice. Sometimes it helps to remove the valve from the stem when seating the bead as it allows a bigger blast of air. Thanks for sharing. -Ed

Loved the drone clip at the end.

Remove the valve core when trying to seat the bead. More volume.

Love the video, nothing most people haven’t experienced. Keeps us humble. The old saying ( we learn by the school of hard knocks ) applies here. Take a small chain and position it around the centre of the tread then turn it like a tourniquet making sure we can back off the chain so it wii slide off. LOL

Good morning. As always a great video. Have a great day. God Bless.

Nice drone mowing shot again! Such a great visual. Enjoyed the video!

Not sure if anyone has suggested this. But use grease around the bead. Especially where the bubbles were coming out. Just use a screw driver pry a little and put a good layer. Then kind have some on your hands with a rubber glove on. And apply where the airs coming out. It usually works pretty well

I love the aerial view at the end cutting the field with time lapse. Yellow straps will be your friend in more than one way, remove valve core insert blowgun, the larger volume of air going in the easier it is to seat the bead

Ever heard of the Vi Air compressors? They run off of 12v...so just hook up to a battery, and compact (i keep mine under my back seat). I think they’ll get you the PSI you need. Great video again and thanks for sharing.

I've stubbed a lot of tires brush hogging. Plug and go on the rears if you have tubeless tires. I had a bunch of flats on the fronts until I upgraded to aircraft 18 plies. All you can do is go in the same direction and be careful. Once you get the woody stuff cut down the first year you are pretty much OK. Thanks for the video. I appreciate it.

A ratchet strap around the tire will reseal the bead enough to get air in it. Just make sure once it takes air to loosen the strap. I’ve used the strap method dozens of times and it has always worked. Good luck. Great vid.

Dont understand machines. But always enjoy your videos. Loved the last aerial part clearing the land.

No apologies necessary for how did you word it a proper video I thought that was a very good video and thank you for sharing your adventures with us best wishes from Wisconsin

That reseating of the tire was a pain. I thought changing out the valve would be the pain, but you made that look easy.

That sucks..ratchet strap around the tire will help setting the bead I just read the comments after posting. Been said enough.lol

Nice fix. That stem guard didn't quite work like it was supposed to. Have a productive day.

Nice job on a field expedient repair!

I had a B21 and put 1,400 Hours on it and then a GRAND L 3500 with cab and I broke everything on it in less than a year. So I sold it and bought another B21 the best machine they Ever made ! I use starting fluid and a match to remount a tier it works AWSOM !

Kind of reminds me of the old show green acres where the city folk went to the country but didn't actually have the needed skills.

That moment right before you send the tool flying. Haha. We all know it.

Lots of good advise on hear. 1. If have starting fluid and lighter I'd do that as first choice. Always keep some around. A tractor that size . push tire aside. Spray 3 seconds then light it . Ratchet strap works , but much more work.

I wish my FRONT tires had the valve stem guards on them. My rear tires do, BUT, they did not do me any good either. Had the SAME THING happen to me with my REAR tire. Stick broke off the valve when I was in the FAR BACK of my farm and tried to get as close to a road as I could. Did not get far! Bead broke and all my tire fluid blew out all over the ground and the tire almost came off of the rim! Got it fixed, but what an ordeal! Also, a couple of tips for you. There is a "cable tool" that is used for pulling new valve stems into place making it much easier! And the tire service that came out to my farm used something he called "tire soap" to seat the bead onto the rim. Never seen it before. It looks like lard, but he hand packed that "soap" on both sides of the tire and wheel and then put the air to it and it popped right onto the bead!!!! And there was a hell of a gap between tire and riim! Live and learn! Oh! And after several flat front tires due to Honeylocust thorns I went and had my front tires FOAM FILLED. No more flats.....on the fronts any way!

This is a great channel

Foam fill the tires! Best thing I did to my tractor!

Thanks I learned some new . Thanks for sharing God bless.

If you remove the stem core to reseat the bead it should work great to first seat the tire, once seated reinstall the core and continue to fill to correct psi. Hope that helps.

I learned that you can remove the core from the stem to allow for more volume of air. Increases odds of getting bead to seat. I've fought and cussed mower tires and learned. My wife said to take it to a tire shop. I must be too hard headed and tight.

If you remove the schrader valve you can put a larger volume of air into the tire to seat the bead, then you can reinstall the schrader valve

Back in 1968 at the filling station we had a device to squeeze the tire all the way around. It worked in the same manner as the ratchet strap technique. It was an inner tube like device that was only about one inch in diameter(like a bicycle tube) and long enough to go around the whole circumference of the tire. (kinda like those thin balloons they use to make animals at kids parties.) It had a fabric material encasing it and a clamping apparatus at the ends. You put the whole thing around the tire and choked it up tight and fastened the clamps. Then you put air pressure in it and it pulled down on the tire real hard all around the whole circumference. The beads were forced out to the seat point. Put a little air in the tire and it would seat pretty easy. It was fast and easy. And I am pretty sure it would clamp down harder than you could do with a ratchet strap. I looked on the internet and couldn't find one. Perhaps you could make one with a bicycle tire, cut and sealed at the ends and glued to the inside of a ratchet strap. Tighten down the ratchet strap and then put air into the bicycle tire.

Great stuff brother; we've all been there! Glad you at least have the stem guards welded on the rim. That should help a lot in the future. Love the channel man! Stop by and visit ours sometime! -JTF

Starting fluid is my go to method but just a couple squirts, not half a can like the guys in the fail videos! :-)

Cool video and nice tractor. I have an L2501 and love it. I will be adding on these valve stems to my hit and run bag for it. Btw, and I am not one to judge but at 4:28, seems like that operation would go safer and easier if you put the wood on top of the jack. Cheers

Ain't you gonna take that tire to a dealer and get it balanced? If not, you're surely gonna have some wobble or pulling when you get up to 70 or 80 MPH......😀

Great looking Boot out there. You might try a rachet strap next time.

a lil tip, remove the valve core to get the beads to seat, you can get air in faster that way , as soon as it seats put the core back in quick!!

2 ways to help get the tire to seat back on the rim: 1.) Use ratchet strap around center of tread on tire. Tighten strap until tire is slightly sunk in towards the center of rim. Inflate tire until you hear the bead snap up onto the seat. Release ratchet strap and inflate tire to proper pressure. 2.) Remove needle valve in the valve stem to allow a greater volume of air at a faster rate to force the bead up onto the rim seat. You will hear it pop up onto seat. Stop inflating and reinstall the valve as quickly as possible with air seeping out. Tighten valve stem down and inflate tire to proper pressure. Hope these suggestions help everyone.

I liked the way you fixed it your self instead of taking it to tire shop. You save lots of bucks that way. I have watched a long time and still dont know your name. Liked the end mowing.

Yup yup. Ratchet strap around the circumference. Also, if you take out the valve stem it’ll help get air in the tire faster to help seat the bead.

Thanks. Good education.

You made your road to look like the shape of Louisiana

Put a ratchet strap around circumference and tighten to force side walls to push out.

Had a similar experience with a B2650. Dad was driving in 4x4 mode and managed to rip the front right valve stem out in a muddy field. He didn't notice at first, and kept driving for a while. The bead filled with mud and grit. I had to take it off the tractor and drag it into a tire store to get it fixed.

That was a very unfortunate accident, and never seen a guard fitted before so good idea, but to me might have given more protection had the guard been fitted 180 degrees to how it is fixed. But that might make getting at the valve more difficult, so you can't win which ever way you do it. Thankfully it was an easy fix without costing a load, just annoying to stopped play.

Tie down straps around the middle always works for airing tire up

No need to apologize you did something to a piece of your equipment and you showed how to fix it. I would say job well done.

The first thing you do not do is use sharp edged tools anywhere near the bead of the tyre and the rim seat, damage beads and seat result in continues flat tyres. Taking the valve stem out lets a lot more volume of air in to expands the tyre more quickly to get it seated, I do not use chains or ratchet straps to belly the tyre out, I prefer to use a length of rope twisted up with a stick or such because when the tyre expands chains or ratchet straps can lock up and be impossible to release as for the rope you just unwind the stick or cut the rope, also this is very handy if you are stuck in the bush

you can remove the valve core to increase air flow into the tire while trying to seat the beads

Sur le Net, vous tapez, "gonflage méthode afrcaine" Vous verrez c'est simple et rapide.

Another trick to get the bead to seat is use a snatch em strap or just a hunk of rope ratchet the strap around the circumference or with the rope jam a bar in it and loop the rope around the bar.

Put a ratchet strap on that tire it will seat

For future reference and a great tool box supply check out Colby valves... they are a quick replacement for cars, dirt bikes tractors or whatever... very helpful for my offloading

To make it easier next time unscrew the core from the stem. Air gets in way faster and the tire will grab onto the seat way easier.

I found that if you take a ratchet strap n put it around the tire and tighten the strap until the tire rim touches the rim. then slowly fill it with air it is much easier to get the tire to seal. you will hear it go pop when the tire is sealed.

Alot they already said.. but #1- Remove the valve core and use air with a trigger gun. #2- ...make a homemade air cannon... called bead seater.. OMG.. fast/easy ..old portable 10 gal air tank.. 2 inch valve.. 2 short pipes.. its on ! basicaly blast 100 pounds instant air to the bead.. POW!!!! 5 lbs air in tire and all seated! excellent on all tires!

Take a ratchet strap around the tire , in the center and tighten it up until the bead touches.

Also grab you a couple of front axles for your tractor they break so easy

Sometimes u can wrap a ratchet strap around them to get a tire to reseat

We always use a big sledge smack the middle of the tire it pops right over the bead

Another item to keep in the ammunition box ... valve stem

Instead of soap, use grease. It's just as slick but it'll fill the bead gap and help the tire seat better. Also a rubber mallet banged around the perimeter of the tire as you air it up.

Here's hoping this was the worst emergency breakdown repair you face with the tractor. Dad's are great!

Et aussi! avec un chargeur frontal, vérins double effet, pas besoin de cric. On appuis l'outil à terr, le tracteur se lève seul. Ensuite, on met la chandelle de sécurité. Pas d'efforts inutiles. Bonne continuation.

Hey man make a habit of raising that garage door all the way!! If not one day that roll bar is going to open it for you 😀

Do you have ballast in your rear tires? If not, you should. Not only is it safer, it adds enough additional traction to make your tractor a different animal.

I think right after the 2:05 mark, we came real close to hearing Fall Line let a cuss word slip. Haha.

I agree with other commenters, rachet strap around the center of the tire will push the bead to the rim.

Great stuff enjoyed that, on my John Deere the tire value is on the inside maybe you can turn your tires around!!!

Big rachet strap around the middle of the tire will force the sidewalls out when you crank it down.

Busted out laughing when you said don't want to take it off. Rookie comment.

Good stuff...thanks

If you let a little weight down on the tire when you air it up it will help bead the tire

Oh well shit happens mate, but I did think at 02:06 you were going to throw the jack handle at the tractor. And your aerial shot is awesome but ya missed a bit! lol Take Care and be Safe.

Love Kubota but tires and valve stems seem to be the weaker link on most compact and utility tractors under 70 horse. Have had to change all of them first year or 2.

Starting spray will reseat that rim in a flash :)

I could weld a protective shroud around all of the valve stem and they will still get broke off..😵😀 On my equipment anyways. Building our new Norwood HD36 this weekend, but rain! Wish us luck!

I won't mention the use of strap around the perimeter because many others have repeated that well proven method. What I'm writing about is............. What the heck is that grinding sound when you were free spinning the tire? Wow. That sounded like a horribly worn bearing.

Those R4 tires or bad about not reseating but just put about 10 pounds of air in them go drive around for five minutes and they’re perfectly reseated and not leaking. By the way, I always carry you a cheap ratchet strap that way you can wrap it around the tire squeeze it down and make it seat up.

Kabota needs to extend their valve stem guards. They should stick out past the valve stem for protection.
