Tires Tire Change 101 for BX24

I would use a 4 way lug wrench

Easy and perfect.

Folks, Thanks for all the great suggestions. I ended up borrowing a 1/2 impact wrench, purchased a 21 mil socket and the lug nuts come off easily. I used the back hoe and stablizers to raise the machine to get the tire off. I put a heavy duty jack stand under the frame for good measure while I wait for our local power equiment store to repair leak. Thanks for all the help. Kubota Rules!

Don't put jack stand under the transfer case.
I was at the dealer once getting parts and he showed me a 23 waiting for a lower case half because the owner of the tractor put a jack stand under case and it went right through when he let out rigger down.
Again this was in the center of case but be careful.

Air tools are your friend.

To a point...great for removing nuts and bolts...but never airgun nuts or bolts tight...run 'em on a bit, then use a torque wrench to tighten and torque them.

Good point...use the drawbar bracket...better yet, two jackstands under the axle.

Agree completely, I sure would hate to go back to a speed wrench or anything else.
