35.5-32

Correct year. Wrong make and model. Mazda was a close guess.

Thank you very much. Appreciate it very much

I still have my job and will post videos from that as well. My thought was to add something different to the channel and hopefully broaden the viewership.

Thanks for the comment and for watching. The rims are 5 piece and all components are extremely heavy. I had installed 2 new tires on one of the two loaders and that little adventure broke 3 of my bead breakers, gave me 6 stitches in my hand and took 16 hrs over 2 days to complete. Remembering how miserable and time consuming that previous job was I decided that unbolting the wheels and rotating them was going to be the most efficient way to complete the job. Cheers

@@mr.manipulator hey that’s fair mate I couldn’t deal with working in the snow 🥶 😂 it’s all desert here. Love the videos too keep them coming it’s a great inspiration to watch 🤟

Thank you very much. That wonderful set up came with the truck. It’s a hydraulic pressure intensifier made by American Eagle accessories (not the clothing).

Thanks. As much as I would like to say that everything goes easy someday’s I still get my butt kicked.

Thank you very much for the sub. Sounds like you have the majority of what you need to get started. There is always a demand for good tire guys that won’t give up on a job and those that will work the longer hours to get the unit back working.

@mr.manipulator I have been the broke one, on the broke down end of things. I know how painful it is and how people will let you down when you are in a bind.

@timberslasher4899 its never good when a machine is done for any amount of time.

Thank you. Heavy ply tires can be a tire bar bending fight especially in colder temperatures. I try to repair every tire but sometimes they are beyond repair. I carry some very large patches on the truck so that the customer doesn’t have to spend thousands of dollars on a new tire unless it’s absolutely necessary.

@mr.manipulator I understand. I just wasn't sure what all it took to get set up to boot or vulcanize. GCR has always sent mine off and it takes forever to get them back. Bought a set of Nokian once and they stayed snagged and they were 22 ply. Firestone is hard to beat on a skidder.

@timberslasher4899 you should be able to buy everything you need to patch/boot tires from the same supplier that sells lubricants/valve stems etc. Vulcanizing is a much more in depth process and requires more advanced equipment.

@mr.manipulator I figured because they would boot them there at McCarthy Tire or GCR but when they were sent offvto be vulcanized they were gone a while. We are in the mountains of North Carolina so we ran 24.5×32 on everything, good ground clearance and we have hard ground that narrow tires bite well, so I always had plenty of spares. Except when they used to disappear from the tire store, even our brand new 24.5s and floats for the trucks were pretty bad to go missing there...😡 But like I was saying there are no heavy tire alternatives around here..

Im glad you got to see it used. The scissor breaker is a very handy tool when working on duals but it can be dangerous also if it kicks out from between the tires.

kicks out as in it gets cock eyed and gets thrown out but the force of the tire?@@mr.manipulator

Yes if it slips on the tire or gets cock eyed.

The tire on the front of the combine had been sent away to get a section repair. A section repair is replacing the cords in the tire and reinforcing it to the original integrity. And the rear tire on the combine needed to be replaced the match the other side. I was told original tire was not repairable so a spare was installed to get harvest completed. In the future I will try and explain the reasoning more.

@@mr.manipulator thank you Clint. I bet it's not only me that wants to know and maybe see the culprit!

I will try my best to show the damages more

Thank you!

I’m still here. Just took a while to get a video edited and uploaded. I have fought with a few rims that haven’t had a drop center. Those are always a fight. I don’t know why the manufacturers and engineers can’t seem to figure it out. A simple solution.. have a conversation with a few tire guys

I am doing well. Thank you.

Thank you! Happy to hear you are enjoying the videos. Thank you for watching

Thank you!!

They are remote controlled 55 ton hydraulic jack(s).

@@mr.manipulatorunmounting tyre levers I mean 😅

Oh lol. I misread what you said. They are standard tire bars used for commercial truck tires and agriculture tires.

Thank you! I have been told that my new company truck has been ordered and fingers crossed it will be ready to work in the next 6 months, when I get the new truck I will be doing a truck/tool tour again.

Honestly some days I am riding that same bus haha. Sometimes the tires fall apart and go back together like a hot knife thru butter. And other days it feels like it’s my first day and I am using plastic knives as tire bars.

Doing well. Having some issues with my video editing program so haven’t been able to get any new vids up yet. Think I have it figured out now.

The yellow bead breaker is a couple hundred dollars. The truck is a few hundred thousand dollars.

You are a little early but I’ll take it hahaha Merry Christmas to you as well.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much. I appreciate the very kind words.

Yes I have had good luck and success patching sidewalls without installing a tube. Tubeless sidewall repairs tend to be better on heavier ply tires and dual setups due to less flexing of the tire which causes less stress on the patch.

Thank you for the kind words and for watching.

Thank you Jon.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it! I agree that there are very few that post about tire work and that is why I started the channel.

Doing well. Insanely busy. Haven’t had hardly any spare time for editing but there is more videos coming soon

Just over 800 Km to and from the job site.

@@mr.manipulator Very far job. ...

Yes this one is different and I understand this video might not be for everyone. Thought I would try something different. More of the usual content coming in the future.

Pretty country though! How's the UK doing?

Like Canada very much win the lottery will move there in a flash The UK is just a law less country run by do gooders and people who get off the boats

Still nice though I enjoyed the scenery even and trip through your perspective to and from the job even if it was only a fraction of the glory that it is in person would love to be there myself for sure!

Depends on how big the tire is?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! The next video I will have is very scenic. Stay tuned!

Thank you!

That is a remote for my hydraulic jack(s). One of my favorite features of the truck.

Thanks. Yes despite all the fancy tools that do make the job easier there is still quite a bit of grunt work involved. It’s hard not to have longer videos when a short/quick job is 2 hrs.

Thank you very much!!

Thank you! Just another day and another tractor but a lot less travel for this job.

Thank you. Yes he does appreciate it.

Or “the valve stem is leaking” when the tire is tubed. Cracks me up every time.

Thank you!

Yes I am quite tall.

The truck hasn’t been very busy over the last 6 weeks so haven’t been able to record many jobs. Looks like its picking up again.

Thank you!! Trying to add more info and explain the process more.

Thank you!!

Some still refer to it as a tube fishing tool. Most call it a tube chain or tube valve now.

It can be a tough job. Before I operated the manipulator I would do a lot of the same work but with much aches and pains. It is a very physically demanding job. Quite often it would require 2 people to complete some of the bigger jobs

Thank you for the suggestion. Many viewers like yourself have suggested using a bead hook to dismount. I have tried several times and have got my butt kicked every single time I have attempted to use a bead hook. I don’t know why but I have yet to have success trying.
