I have been using a handy man jack. I always keep the tire/rim on the tractor. Put the foot of the jack parallel to the rim on the tire bead. Run a decent size log chain around the tire and rim and hook it into a circle. Obviously the jacks lifting point is hooked under the chain. Start jacking. May have to steady or hold up the end of the jack. Probably best done with two people although I use this process myself all of the time. This is the best thing I have found to break tractor tire beads without buying the the hydraulic or screw type bead breaker. I have a screw type bead breaker which really doesn't work all that well. As you are jacking allow time for the tire to begin moving. Liquid soap or WD40 helps lubicate things. Push back in one place and then you might have to move a foot or so and do it again. Once the front side is off do the same to the back side. Most of the time I do not chain the back side. I still put the base of the jack on the tire, but push off of the drawbar with the lifting point of the jack. It is important that the foot of the jack be as close to the rim as possible. Pushing in the middle of the sidewall does nothing. Anytime you use a handy man jack take precautions, but I have never thought of this useage being all that dangerous compared to other tire bead breaking methods.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
