Thanks for checking out the video! I have a tire change video too if that’s why you’re taking the wheel off in the first place.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Even my wife that grew up on a farm was getting frustrated.
Thank you MrSuburban Acreage for this video and saving me hours of frustration…your steps were simple and straight to the point. My wheel came right off and went back on 🤗
Thanks for the comment Allen! I made that video a few years ago and I’m so glad it’s STILL helping people today! It’s simple once you see how it’s done, but just looking at it it’s not immediately obvious.
Thanks for the info man. Saved me a bunch of time. Good video for sure.
Thanks so much for the info! A great help!
Taking a John Deere tire off s so satisfying, especially when removing the clip. Our L-110 has been with us for 16 years, and we are just replacing her tires now, plus she needs a new seat, and a fresh coat of paint. John Deere's are the best, and the saying is indeed true, "Nothing runs like a Deere".
Thanks for the help, excellent explanation, loved the "light tapping" too.
Thank you from a John Deere rookie !
I’m a rookie too, I just made videos of myself figuring things out. Glad it helped you get things done!
Great video. A few hacks I needed to do:
1) I used a regular car jack as I didn’t have a floor jack. I put it under the tie rod of each wheel (one side at a time), which left the tractor more stable. Worked fine.
2) 20 y.o. Dust caps were bear to get off. I had to warm them with a hair dryer to make the plastic more flexible. Recommend you replace caps when wheels replaced.
3) Surprise! This is a messy job as when you take off the dust caps they are filled with grease (if you have the kind of wheels with the grease nub). Gloves recommended
4) Old tires came off easy, but new ones did not just slide on. Suggest you grease axle heavily as well as wheel bearings. I had to pound the wheel on with a mallet pressed up against small piece of 2x4 held up against center of wheel
5) If you don’t have needle nose pliers to remove the c-clip, regular pliers will work (just a little harder to grab), or even tip of screwdriver gently pushing it off.
Thought these tips might help.
What a comment Bob! Thanks for adding your tips and if I ever make another video about this I’d include all of them.
Yes cause I was surprised when he took the cap off because mine was covered in grease too! Lots of it!!!
Thanks for the head's up. I have a heat gun that I may have to use to get off mine. It's a 325.
I also ended up cutting the caps off with a razor knife since the old caps were 10 years old, and would not budge.
I’m guessing replacement caps are cheap enough, but knowing John Deere lately, maybe not? Glad you got them off!
Thank you for this video - straight to the point!
Saved me a ton of frustration, thank you!
Awesome video 👍 thanks man, GOD bless you.
Hey thanks! I thought it was simple, but wasn't sure if I could just pop that cap off.
Thanks, man - just what I needed!
Thanks for the video, helped me out tremendously.
I absolutely LOVE the puck! GO BLACKHAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks very useful great explanation
Thanks for the explanation. Very simple it seems. I currently have to change mine as it’s not holding air. Did you lube the axle when you put the wheel on?
Always a good idea!
Thanks man..
I crashed my mower in frustration jk but I wanted to
Thank you!
Thank you.
Very useful
For repairing your outer wall on the tire, use a product called "Right Stuff" (Napa), which is for making gaskets. Very durable, flexible, heat resistant.
Also, consider Flex Seal. I actually repaired a compact tractor tire with multiple punctures from mesquite thorns. I did a double coating on the inside of the tire. First coat, let dry and cure, then apply the second coat. The tire is still holding air after 6 years, no refilling of air. It was better to try than fork out $800 for a tire.
The mower isn't going on the road. I believe my suggestions maybe more economically beneficial. If it works, great. If not, you only spent the cost of the Right Stuff, or Flex Seal. These can be used for something else.
Great comment and I agree with the no risk attempt. With the low speeds and non road use of a lawn tractor, there’s little safety concern if the repair didn’t last.
How do you install weights on these wheels?
Thanks!!!
You should've greased the wheel hub before reinstalling the tire.
That would have been a good idea. I’ll definitely hit it next time.
Once-wheel was removed,the axle shaft should be cleaned and put some never seize on it. Now you’re ready for next removal.👍
Great tip Ron, thanks for the reply.
This is probably a silly question, but is this the same process for the rear tires?
Not silly at all because it’s totally different! The rear wheels are much more “traditional” in that they are held on with lug bolts. I have a video for the rear wheels you can check out here:

@@suburbanacreage thank you! I did it! First time ever!
Clean the axle shaft and bearings put fresh grease
might just make it much easier next time
Great point!
I want to replace the bearing
Wow no nut ! Amazing it stays on 😂👍
If my valve stem is facing on the inside instead of the outside like yours, am I okay to just invert when putting my wheel back on?
I’d totally do that, not sure why it would be facing the other way. I’d think you’d always want it on the outside so you have better access to it for filling, checking pressure, or topping off.
@@suburbanacreage yeah I didn’t understand that and thought maybe it was for a reason. I went ahead and switched them around and all is good! Thanks for the reply!
Can you put a Tube in a TUBELESS TIRE (E-170)
Oh heck yeah! Adding a tube can be a great way to extend the life of the tire. Tires can crack and dry rot and start to leak air before the tread is worn out.
I can't find my needle nose plier at the moment. What else can I use to get the clip locked back in place?
And we got it on. Man, these clips can be tuff little fuckers.
How do you put a tire on a lawn mower rim?

What if the tire goes all the way in but doesnt leave space to place the clip back on whats the problem here. ???? Why wont it stick out enought to place the washer and the clip.
If you replaced tire on a new rim most of the aftermarket rims are 1/4 inch bigger so the washer won’t fit.
i had that problem to but if you dont out the washer back on there really no change
