Some Information On How To Replace Your Lawn Tractor Tires

When you need to change your lawn tractor tires you can choose to do it yourself or have a supplier or company do it. It is always a good idea to know how to change them yourself just in case those places are close or unavailable when you need a new tire put on.

To change and replace your lawn mower and tractor tires yourself you will need a screwdriver, valve stem tool, protective padding and some soapy water, preferably in a spray bottle. Once you have your supplies you can begin to jack up your piece of lawn care equipment.

After jacking up your equipment, remove the axle pins and deflate your lawn tractor’s tires. Most lawn care equipment will have a valve to easily and quickly deflate the tires. Sometimes the tire can stick to rims so you may need to use some leverage to get them apart.

After this, you will need to change the protective pads for your lawn tractor’s tires. Once you have taken two of the tire irons out, place them above the tire’s rim. You will need three tire irons to help bead the tire free from the wheels. After removing the bottom and top beads you should clean the tube with your soapy water. Make sure to clean the tube thoroughly to get rid of any dirt or foreign objects.

Take your newly acquired tractor tires and begin placing them back on the rim and seat all of the beads. Next you want to install the stem, inflate the new tire and then finalize the mount of your tractor’s new tire. If it is your first time replacing your own lawn tires you may want to have a friend help or enlist the help of someone who has changed their own lawn tires before.
