Rear tire changing

When breaking them down off of the tractor, I have used a farmall fast hitch to apply down force, much like the loader idea mentioned earlier. I put a 4x4 block next to the bead, so that I was able to lift the entire rear of the 400 barely off of the ground for max. force. Sometimes it still takes a few tries.
 
i do mine w/toothbar on front of loader of my kubota using downward force--sometimes wifie has to direct the show while i sit on the kubota inching forward and patiently awaiting her command to "holt it right there"--piece o cake and she helps with mounting after tire sits in the sun or next to the wood burner to limber up--don't forget to use plenty of wd-40 for lube on rim
 
Western states have Les Schwab tire dealers allover the place. Go to one located in a small town in a rural area. Had my 9x14 tires replaced with used 14.4x24 tires that once ran on the front of a green tractor for $46, including new tubes, at Les Schwab in Mt Vernon, WA. Les passed away a few years ago. He also was a rancher and was well known for giving away free beef with purchase of tires. If you have a slow leak in a tire, they fix it for free, even if you didn't buy it there. A tire store you've got to love.
