Ballast want get rid of calcium in tires

[LouNY]

I have a manual bead buster;
Esco Dual Agricultural Tractor Manual Tire Bead Breaker – All Tire Supply

And a couple of 30 inch tire spoons.

We break down our tires with the rims still mounted on the tractors,
jack it up to get the weight of the tire, break the bead outside and inside.
Most tires with have a small section of the sidewall next to the bead that is shaped for a bead breaker it's kind of a notch,
that's were we start breaking the bead then just work your way around the tire.
Lots of soapy water and lots of work.
Bring the outer bead off the rim slide the tire halfway off, pull the tube out,
slide the tire over to the outside of the rim and bar it off,
raising and lowering your tractor as you go to make it easier.

Putting them back on hook the top of the tire bead over the rim raise the tractor use your irons if needed to get the inside tire bead on the rim,
install your tube, shove everything as far in as possible and carefully iron your outside bead onto the rim being carefull not to pinch your tube with the tire or irons.
Otherwise you will get more practice removing the tube and patching it and reinstalling it.

You could also have a mobile tire repair unit come out pump out the calcium and pull the tires and tubes off the rims.
Set them aside while you spend a few days wire brushing priming and painting your wheel then you could have them come back out and remount them.

Go to YouTube and search "removing a tractor tire from a rim by hand" and pick a video that has the approximate size of tire you are working on. There are several ways of doing the job so view a few videos. Once you feel comfortable doing the job, buy or make or borrow the tools and remove your tires. I've done it several times. It's not a fun job. The cheapest way to get it done is to remove your tires and take rims and all to a good tire shop.

That's what I would do for the removal of the tires. After you have the rims painted they really aren't that hard to install. Lots of soapy water!

Any suggestions on how to get tires off the rims and back on?

Find a local tire store. Tractor tires are not for the inexperienced.

If nothing else, have them remove the tires from the rims so you can do the rust removal and restoration of the rims, then have them remount the tires.

Your NH 3045 should have R-1's in the rear. They are listed as - 14.9x24. Holding some 46 gallons of fluid - weighing ~ 400# +/-. That does not include the weight of the rim. Unless you have experience with tires this heavy - go to a reputable tire dealer. This is not a DIY job for the inexperienced!!

Well it's not that hard of a job and if you don't do it you will never get any experience.
This is a half way decent video of using a bead breaker;

Also if you pump the liquid fill out before working on the tire you do not have that weight to work with,
then if you do not remove the wheel before breaking the tire down the only weight is the tire carcass.

I didn't even try to patch the old tubes in my old tires. I took them to a tire shop when I had a leak. I'm too old to deal with breaking down tires. Even car tires. The last tires I got for the little Kubota was work enough. I still have one that leaks around the rim.

After I saved a few bucks, I bought two new rears off Ebay. (13.9x28) They came mounted on new rims with new tubes. I haven't looked back since. I did keep one of the old tires as a spare. I did the same with the fronts about a year later except neither was good for a spare. They too came mounted on new rims.

What about emptying the fluid and use some tire sealer?

When I purchased new tires I went to a major truck tire shop.
They have all the HD tools for the job.
Was in and out in one hour C/W new tires, rim guard installed and they sanded and painted my rims as well.
My total outlay was under $ 1k, new tires and tubes, rim guard and labor and taxes.
They had huge machine to remove tires, like for cars but very HD.
All pumps to remove old juice and another to pump in rim guard.

No way I'd have even contemplated that as a DIY project.

Man I am getting old, I completely forgot having had a Tire company come and replace rear tires on my old Harvester, couldn't believe how reasonable it was too, must be twenty years ago, lol. One of the great things about a forum like this is to be reminded of what you have forgot, lol. Still, keep those ideas coming as this will be a spring type job and I may see something else I have forgot, lol. Will be fully pensioned at 65 this spring so money saving tips are welcomed too.

Interesting, that someone that does this regularly had a pile of challenges. Youtube, go figure. Great ideas here thanks.
