Replacing Your Lawn Tractor Tires
There are many distributors and suppliers than will replace your lawn tractor tires for you but it is always recommended that you always know how to change your own tires on your lawn care equipment in case you ever need a change when these places are closed or unavailable.
To replace your tractor tires you simply need a valve stem tool, screwdriver, protective pads and some soapy water. After you gather all the supplies you need you can get to work on changing out your tire.
Remove the axle pins on your lawn tractor tires after jacking it up, and then remove all of the air in it. Usually the tires have a valve you can simply pull to deflate the air. If your tire ends up sticking to the rim you may have to loosen it with a board or something else for leverage.
After this, you will need to change the protective pads for your lawn tractor\’s tires. Once you have taken two of the tire irons out, place them above the tire\’s rim. You will need three tire irons to help bead the tire free from the wheels. After removing the bottom and top beads you should clean the tube with your soapy water. Make sure to clean the tube thoroughly to get rid of any dirt or foreign objects.
The final step is to put your new tractor tires on. Seat all of the beads, and install the stem. After inflating your new tires, you can mount the tire to complete the tire changing process. Having a friend or professional help out with your first installation will eliminate any chances of a mistake being made. Mistakes on tire replacement could be unsafe and could put you in danger.
