- In this video, I use a modified Harbor Freight tire changer to change a tire on my dump trailer. The video focuses on tools and techniques to make tire changing easy. My wife and I enjoy learning new skills on our 160 acre homestead in northern California. Our off-grid lifestyle requires us to be responsible for our own electricity, water, sewer, roads, gardens and equipment. To that end, being able to change our tires at home means less time, fuel and money to travel into town to pay someone else to do the work for us. In addition, the tires we order online are delivered to our door! We are saving money at every step. You can do it too.

good stuff! thanks
Glad you found it helpful!
For my Kubota tire, I used a large ratchet strap (the kind you strap a car down on a trailer) and wrapped it around the tire and tightened it until the center of the tire squished inward and pushed the bead to the rim. I then put air in and simultaneously tap the sidewall of the tire with a dead blow hammer. Anyway, that worked for my small tractor tire to get the bead to seat. I like the duck bill accessory kit you have. I may buy that. Good video.
I used to use the ratchet strap. If starting fluid doesn’t get it done, I’ll go back. Still use the strap for small tires (lawnmower, log splitter, ect). Thanks for the comment!
Nicely done. The tire was nice and flexible too which always helps.
Here's another way to get beads to seat. Not as dramatic as the explosion method, but it seems to work and is safer??

Thanks for the referral. I watched the link and thought that method was pretty cool. I do enjoy the controlled explosion technique though! All the best!
What did you attach the duckbill too and can it be purchased
I built the unit myself. I traced the duckbill mount onto 1/4” steel and cut it out. I drilled holes and bolted the duckbill to the cutout. I then welded the cutout to a 2” pipe. Subscribe to our channel so you can be notified when I complete work on a video that explains how I modified the tire changer. If you search on EBay for “modified duckbill tire changer” there are several ready made models available for purchase. Thank you for watching!
You can make one out of a 2x4 as well, if you don't have metal working gear.
