Some Advice On How To Replace Your Lawn Tractor Tires
When it is time to change your lawn tractor tires most people have companies and suppliers change them out for them. However, anyone who owns any lawn care equipment should know how to change their own tires out. Just in case those places are closed whenever you need them.
Before changing your lawn tractor tires there are a few items you need to have at your side. Equip yourself with a valve stem tool, screwdriver, soapy water, and protective pads. After you get all your tools together you can start changing out your tractor tires.
The first step is to jack up your lawn tractor and remove the axle pins. Then remove all of the air out of your old tires which can normally be done by pulling down the valve. Sometimes the tire can stick to the rim so you may have to pry it off with some leverage.
Next the protective pads have to be replaced on the rim of your lawn tractor’s tires. Take the tire irons out and place them above the tire rim. With the use of these tire irons, usually three of them, you can then make the bead free from the wheel. Remove the top and bottom bead, and then clean the tube with the soapy water in your spray bottle.
Take your newly acquired tractor tires and begin placing them back on the rim and seat all of the beads. Next you want to install the stem, inflate the new tire and then finalize the mount of your tractor’s new tire. If it is your first time replacing your own lawn tires you may want to have a friend help or enlist the help of someone who has changed their own lawn tires before.
