Almost looking forward to the next flat tire!

That looks like an interesting tool. For around $60 or so, it would pay for itself with the first flat while out in the field. Especially if you have tubes...

thanks for the info about the bead cheata, I could have used one awhile back, looks like a good buy.

These sound useful. Is there anywhere to get them for $60.00 now, or has everyone hiked the price to $150.00 or more? Sloan express is asking that now, too.

As I mentioned, I ended up with one for $59 and change, "cash & carry" at the National Farm Machinery Show. No freight involved. That was a year and a half ago. I have no clue as to the prices and/or availability through any source. Bottom line, after using it several times, I'd give $150 or even more than that, if I DIDN'T have one. They're that handy.

I owe FWJ another big thanks!

I ordered one from Shoup and got it last week. I haven't used it yet but it looks like a good tool to have for my next flat. I have a flat on my pressure washer so I'll try it on that first which should be pretty easy!

Add me to the list of guys with tool envy!

I have changed tons of auto tires while working summers in my stepdads tire shop but I have never tackled a tractor tire. So far I have had two flats, both on the back and at the same time. I admit I wussed out and took them to the local tire shop. They fixed both and put a tube in one for $69.00 total. I considered it a bargain.
