What happened here to my tire?

[Rapp@BlueRidge]

My Kubota M5140 has been sitting for about a week and this afternoon I notice the tire just popped off the rim.
It was fine this morning and this afternoon off the rim. Not just flat - completely off the rim. No holes observed yet. Vandalism highly unlikely, weather had been mild (in the fifties last few days). Anyone seen this before?

Lost all its’ air and then lost the bead?

Low air pressure when was the last time you checked it...

Sure have. Tire went flat and popped of the rim. Been there done that.

you may be lucky enough to reair it up by pulling wheel off of tractor and laying it on a bucket, adding air while jockying around tire on rim. Sometimes works without lubing rim up . If not, trip to les schaub.

So here’s what you do to fix it for free.

1. Jack up the front of the tractor so wheel & tire are off the ground.
2. Grab yourself a pretty beefy ratchet strap and wrap it around the tire.
3. Ratchet it down until the bead pops out to the rim while filling with air.

Might get lucky and not have to remove it, if you can reach it with air. Pick the front end up with the loader and pull the valve core, then use a chuck with the valve removed to get extra air in to seat the bead. I've got one of the HF clip on chucks with the guts out for seating beads, then put the core in and use the gauged chuck for filling. Since it wasn't moving, there shouldn't be much dirt or stuff on the bead seat, but something caused it to go flat to begin with, so a spray bottle of soapy water is in order when it's aired up again.

This. It works. I did exactly the same on my 35hp tractor with front tire similar to yours. It’s pretty easy actually.

Probably intuitive, but you need an air compressor to fill the tire which very much helps seal the tire to the rim.

You really need an air compressor with the type of adapter that clips to the tire valve, not the ones you press down. I forgot about the strap idea….i did try that in the past also.

This works really well.
