putting tube in tractor tire

[Captn. J]

how hard would it be ?  never had done one  and how much would a tube be for a 18.4  26?   who does it?

It's pretty easy once you get it off the bead. Try tractor supply or an agricultural store.

easy? then come over and le me watch u do it

[Merc09]

Lol. I'm saying one you get it off the bead. Use a sledge hammer and beat it off the rim. Just on one side then push the tube through the crack between the rim and tire and line up the valve stem with the hole in the rim. The hard part is getting it off the bead.

Use a sledge hammer and beat it off the rim.

These are big tires.

The real way you have to break the beads is use another truck and a ramp to drive on the tire or used another tractor or a loader and bucket to break the bead. I've done both and they can get time consuming!

Honestly, the last time I had to deal with a rear tractor tire, I took my 14.9-38" Farmall H tire and rim to the farm bearu co-op and let them put a tube in it. Best $106 I ever spent. The tube will cost you enough alone as it is.

what  u mean by this?

[BIG DOG]

some tires are loaded  with   like a clorifoam     solution   its like weight in the tire  it stays in the bottom as you drive       

[Captn. J]

i have no idea if they have load or air

tractor tires are easy with the right tools, the bigger the tire the easier it is, but yes aldermans or steiners dont go to tsc

I took my tractors tires to tci in saginaw off outer drive. i believe it was 50 bucks for a tube, 2 patches and an install. I have done them myself and they come off fairly easy with a sledge. Thats how they broke em down too. It helps if ya got a hefty friend to stand on the tire and walk around it as you put the tube in lol

I pulled my tractor tires off of the rims for new tubes and rec enter them, they were not easy at all! It was a major pain in my  .
Had to use the tire spoon to get the tube off as well.
You might have to drill new holes for the tube valve stem as they might not line up where the valve stem normally goes. They are off set a lil differently from what I was told by the guy I got mine from.

Did this to a combine tire, nothing easy about it! Used 6 x 6 post to drive on the tire and break the bead with a pretty big tractor, while someone held the tire at the right angle. Getting the old tube out was tough, and took three people to wrestle the rim and new tube back in. It's doable, but I would pay someone.
