Used this trick on a John Deere d110 lawn tractor with a ratchet strap and it works great. Saved me a bunch of hassle.
THANK YOU! used a ratchet strap for the John deer 360, my sister learned to use it after my dad passed and it’s just been one thing after another!
DUDE. THANK YOU. So helpful. Now my kids can ride their pedal car again after the beads came undone over winter. Appreciate you!
Thank you so much! I was going to go crazy! My tractor was stuck in the creek with a tire down. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Yes! This worked. No fire needed. Thanks!!
Man this is why I love TH-cam… seen I had a flat… went right to TH-cam… and this video popped up… yes I’m a subscriber… went right outside ace went to work… didn’t work the first couple times but I kept at it… finally got it to hold air and released ratchet strap and POP!!! Fixed… thank you so much for this video very very helpful… everything you said worked…
Just found your video today because my snow thrower had a flat tire and wouldn't take air--clearly the bead was broken. I put a ratchet strap around it, similar to what you did, cranked down a little on it and turned on the air compressor. I had to put a little of my own body weight on it because it's such a small tire but it worked! Saved me time for sure, now I'm ready for any possible snow this winter. This was a great find. :-)
I’m glad it worked for you!
Ratcht strap, Worked amazing on a skid steer tire I pushed off bead from running with too little air pressure. Awesome idea, thank you!
Saved me. Works with a strap and binder too. Got my Kubota back up and running. Thanks Bro!
Lol. I tried all that with mine. No way no how, comolong, ratchet straps, block & tackle, wasted a crap load of time. The ole faithful can of either, BOOM, and we were done. Love it! Bought a few xtra cans for the shelf! 😉😛
Thanks for the great tip! Saved me a trip to town or experimenting with butane on my lawn mower.
I sure want to thank you for this tip. I had my log splitter tire come off the rim. I used a ratcheting tie down strap and it worked perfectly. You saved me half a day!
Thank you very much. Worked first try on my little Kubota front tire. Saved me so much time.
Thank you for your great video! Had same first failed attempt, tightened it up, hit with hammer and boom! Back up and running, learning from your video saved us a day of work!
Great video and definitely safer than the "other" method. I had to do this on my lawn tractor and used a double loop of 550 paracord with a 1" dowel to tighten the cord. Worked perfectly after using a rubber mallet to get the sidewall as close to seated as possible. Thanks for sharing!
This worked amazingly for my rear-tine rototiller! Used a thicker ratchet strap instead of a chain. Hat to rotate it and thump it with my fist a few times and bam! Took air and worked perfectly. Thank you very much. I live in the country as well and I would definitely put this toward the top of my list of things to know out here.
HA! ….”and I’ll do it without ether” !! While pondering around for my tire fix here on YT I came across the ‘ol ether tire fix with fire trick. I’m a retired fireman. That is nutz.
Wow, great idea and thanks for showing the troubles you had! I just lost a valve stem on a front tire; while I'll take it in to make sure there's no other damage to the tire this (and the 2" ratchet strap idea!) is _really_ great.
I'll also get a few extra valve stems to be prepared as I would hate to have a similar problem in the winter.
Great video, great tip!
You just saved me a lot of work and a trip to the tire service! I used a 1" ratchet strap and it worked like a charm! Thanks a bunch!
Awesome!
Just reseated my tractor front tire (smaller than yours) using your instructions in this video however, I did use a 2" ratchet strap as found in the comments. Glad it was on a tractor with a front end loader which picked up the front end. Thanks to both of you.
Used a ratchet strap to get the tire back on my lawn tractor. Thanks for the help
Worked first time for me. Thanks for the video. I used this trick on my yard tractor tire. I used a racket strap like you used the chain. Worked the first time. Thanks again.
This method worked like a charm! My issue was a smaller tire on a boat trailer so I only needed to use a ratchet strap. With a few taps from a small sledge hammer and some time for the rubber to relax the tire seated perfectly. Thanks very much for this.
I’m glad it worked for you!
Thanks for this post. I just did this with a ratchet strap on a little tubeless wagon tire. I also had to be mindful of releasing the ratchet. It went flying when I popped it loose! Worked like a charm though.
Used this method on an old snapper yard cart. It worked great , thanks.
Bro I owe you a beer if I ever meet you...saved my a$$ during this snowstorm
Thanks! Had not thought about hammering the center. Makes sense and worked great.
Thank you… I am up at my camp in Northern Maine ( away from any shops). Your video saved me!!!!! Thank you very much for sharing!
The tire beating actually got mine to reseat. I had almost given up on my strap. Thanks for the tip!
This is the special sauce I needed today. You’re a legend.
Yes!! Thank you. Thought I was going to have to shovel, but this fixed the flat tire on my snowblower fast!!
Awesome glad it helped!
Sweet! I was getting ready to go get starting fluid and did this
It worked! Snowblower tire but still I was up and runnin
I used a strap on a small dolly tire (same idea) and it worked! Thanks!
Just used this to reseat a snowblower tire. Thanks so much!
Saved me from a trip to town. You’re the man. Thanks
Dude, you're awesome. This totally worked for a narrow tire and wide rim on my polaris ranger. Used a 1 inch strap. And the hammer! Thanks!
Awesome I’m glad it worked for you!
Just used a similar method to re seat a snow blower tire for my dad thank you.
This worked like a charm. Thanks!
Thanks! Great video! Straight to the point and informative.
Thanks for the video. I was able to get my tire to seat properly it just took a little while. In addition to the Cain lock I used a come along and a long handles sledge. Worked... Thanks again.
Glad it worked for you Steve!
Thanks for this, it works. I managed to re seat my tire on the side of the road with a ratchet strap and a portable tire inflator.
I have had good luck seating the bead by taking the valve core out and putting an air nozzle with a rubber tip on the air hose and give it a quick blast. That will seat the bead then put the valve core back in and inflate the tire. Don't need to chain or strap the tire.
Thanks...That worked. Now back to mowing the grass. I used a ratchet strap like Shane suggested in your comments here.
Worked like a charm, thanks!
Worked for me . Thanks 👍👍👍
🎉. Worked beautiful and easy.
Gracias
I liked the video not sure if I'm ever going to use it but knowledge is good thank you
This worked great! Thankyou
thank you so much for this video it saved my life today when I forgot to fill up my dad's tractor tire 😅
Thank you so much my tire was out of shape the hammer truck worked like a charm
Good Video! Thank you.
Thanks, I needed that "How To" video! Tim @ Cliffside Acres
Glad you liked it Tim!
You saved my bacon last night, though I had to use a second binder and chain to get enough pressure to seat it, was the rear tire on a JD 3203.
Thanks for sharing.😊
I'll add that for a rear tire off a Kubota L45; it took two chains; one along each side 3-4" from the edge and I had to position one of the chain binders directly over an area that air was escaping to get a little more compression in that area.
If you see this man you saved my ass 💯
Got it on the first try! Thanks for the tip.
Nice! I’m glad it worked
Brilliant off to try it now 👍
Used a Ratchet strap on a new ATV Tire. Worked perfectly
today is "one day". just confirming what i've been doing the last hours wasn't for nill. back to the fight then! but just on a side note: you ever started one of those very old hand cranked tractors, then you know, you grip it with your thumb not over the handle so not to break it if there is a kick back, that way the crank can slip away out of your hand and not shatter it. that's how you have to take the chain off , for the same reason: your thumb clearly gripped it around. hope it helps brother
Ol' Hank was right, a country boy can survive.
Thank you
Thanks!! I thought well I dont have one of those but i do have a ratchet strap. And yes worked first try! Sweet.
Glad it worked!
i have found that if you take out the valve stem and use a blow gun to add air it tends to seat the bead quite well
Yes you’re absolutely right. I would have done that in the video but I didn’t have a valve stem remover. Thanks Bill good tip!
What? This is more than common. You just haven’t seated a real tire
This is absolutely genius
Thanks!
Worked perfect with a ratchet on my lawn tractor.
Howdy F. Tyler!
I have done the chain and binder trick as well when in a pinch. Much safer way is with a good 2" ratchet strap. You can release it easily without the momentum of the binder handle risk. Releasing the strap still makes a good pop and makes me jump. On smaller soft tires (e.g.: lawn tractor, ATV) you can get away with using smaller 1" straps. The 2" straps don't work well on small diameter tires.
Thanks Gregory!
Thanks gregory! i tried the 1inch strap trick for a lawn tractor but I wasnt able to get it to seat properly. any recomemndations? @gregorycross
There are several more tricks I can describe for you. Is it a small front or larger rear tire? What type of air source are you using to inflate the tire?
1) The biggest catch is fast air volume is needed.
2). Jack up the tractor so that there is no weight on tire, or remove tire and wheel so that you can place them flat on concrete, sheet of plywood or some cardboard etc.. If flat on dirt, these tricks can get you dirty quick.
3). If your compressor has a 1/4 turn ball valve (shut off handle with a 90 degree operating range) on the discharge hose:
3a) Remove valve core from wheel.
3b) attach as short of a hose as possible (4 to 6 foot of 1/2" hose for larger tires, 3/8 may work on small tire) to air compressor discharge valve and put it directly over the valve stem. You can secure it with a small hose clamp if needed. (No quick couplers or fittings that will cause restrictions to slow down the blast of air into the tire.)
3c) Charge up the compressor and then open valve to inflate tire. Be ready to close valve as soon as the tire pops up on the bead of the rim.
3d). Remove the hose, and reinstall the valve stem core asap
trick # 3: Portable volume chamber (accumulator).
If you have an old portable air tank that has factory valve body and Schrader valve stem for filling that are worn out:
1) Remove entire valve assembly.
2) Get a 1/2" NPT pipe T and add 3 short nipples.
3) On the run (arms) of the T add 1/2" NPT ball valves.
4) Add bushing and adapter to match your compressors quick coupling style to one valve.
5) install short run of 1/2" air hose to the other valve using hose barb and hose clamps.
**6). For safety** you can use a 4-way cross or add another T between the valves and re-use the pop-off valve and pressure gauge from the original tank manifold.
7) Remove valve stem core and secure loose hose end over the valve stem with hose clamp.
8) Charge tank (Do not exceed original tank specifications!)
9) Close supply/fill valve and prepare compressor hose with your air chuck.
**You can also use this at the end of a long hose to get maximum use of your impact tools.**
Thank you sir
Thanks dude. Much better than trying to set my mower on fire with the carb cleaner trick.
Haha!
Will a simple ratchet strap work for a smaller tire on let’s say, a lawnmower tire? I need to reseat one of the small front swivel tires on a zero turn mower. Thanks.
A large ratchet strap works also
LVF Northern Wisconsin Farming
Yes you are right. I’ve even used a come-along once! Thank you for checking out the channel, I hope you enjoy it!
@@farmertylerranch4399 looks like you have a good start to a great channel... What part of the country you from? You have mud and we have snow! Lol
I’m in Northern California, no snow in this area! The mud is getting bad hopefully I can get most the cows over to the winter pasture next week and get them out of the dang stuff!
Farmers are some of the smartest people around.
I need to do this today, so came back just to review. I'm using a big ol' ratchet strap though.
Two ratchets straps this morning did me well. Soapy water shows the bubbles and wiggle in that area.
zac brown band also changes tires?
Does this work on a snowblower
Amazing video, thanks for saving my butt.
Bout to use it here in 5 min, thanks.
How’d it go?
Awesome, ty sir :)
New sub saw your channel on vessel cattle shoutout. Nice trick. Have a good one

Thanks for checking out the channel! Hope you stick around!
Farmer Tyler Ranch when you get a min check out our channel. We raise cows and produce hay. I planning on do a live tomorrow from a farm auction.
I’ll do it right now. When is the livestream?
Farmer Tyler Ranch I’m doing a live at 9:30 in the morning. I do one every Sunday night7:30 pm
I’m looking for a safe way I’m sitting in hospital because of this method
Don't forget your lube!😘. Not only does it help the bead slip onto the shoulders of the rim without binding but it also acts as a temporary seal to allow you to get enough air pressure in that the tyre will start to slip onto the rim.
I tried this method no luck, took it to shop , I think bead sealer did the trick
I was missing smakkng it with a hammer 😂😂
Will it work with the large rear tires
Hmm. Not sure I mean the principle is the same but it would be tough I’m sure
I did this with a ratchet strap on my mini bike thank you
Ibtried a ratchet i may try a chain before starter fluid
Ya must have a slow leaking tire there ,been there done that lol .... pretty sure my problem started by mowing around field borders mowing off little locus tree's. Seemed like every 2 weeks I was airing up a tire or seating it again, couldn't find anything in the tire so ended up putting a set of new one's on .
Yeah the tire or the rim, not sure which. Same one has done that twice before in the ten years I’ve owned it, only at critical times when I really needed the tractor of course! But once I reseat it and fill it up it seems to hold for awhile...weird.
@@farmertylerranch4399 Ain't that the truth only when ya need it , I wouldn't notice mine flat until I loaded something in the loader . Nice looking tractor for 10 years old !!
Thank you! Letting it live in a barn certainly helps. Those stiff sidewalls make it impossible to tell it’s losing air until like you say, you put a load on it. Nice thing though I was able to drive it a short way to my dads shop with the tire off the bead and not hurt anything
If you ordered your tires on eBay and you're reading this, this method will not work for you. The way they ship them zip tied together makes them wayyy bent out of shape. You gotta use the starter fluid method.
Ether go boom
Haha the safe way 👍
Well....safe-ish? Safer than ether and a match right?? Haha! Thanks for watching and subscribing I hope you enjoy the channel!
Ether and a match is still the best method ..
Tried to like the vid... But the button won't work for some reason.
also you need to take out the valve stem first
sadly doesn't work for my motorcycle :(
New sub Been sent me over
Welcome and thank you
Hammer therapy = Good😅
I use a bigger Hammer
CAN OF STARTER FLUID WORKS BETTER . I DO 14 X17 SKID STEER TIRES ALL THE TIME.
