1974 Bolens HT20 - New front tyres

[@bigsonslawncare]

What a testament to quality 50yrs!!!!!!!! I definitely need a tire changer because I'm over doing it by hand😢

[@GardenTractorBoy]

The tyre changer is a life saver, you need one. I can't imagine the new tyres will last 50 years. Take care

[@MissouriOldTimer]

that tire changer sure makes that job easy,,

[@GardenTractorBoy]

The tyre changer was one of our best purchases, it is great especially on new tyres. Take care

[@santaclause2875]

Great episode, Joseph, thanks for sharing !!!! Enjoy your weekend.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thank you. Take care and I hope you are having a great week

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Good afternoon GTB !

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Hello Gary, I hope everything is good with you. Take care

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Great video fellas. Nice looking tires. But the old ones were very popular years ago. Too bad they rot out. Nice tire machine. Wheels I great shape after 50 years. Have a great week. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks. We were also surprised how good the wheels were. It is a shame about the original tyres as they still had lot of tread. Take care

[@OpenAirAdventure]

That's a dandy tire machine. I wonder will these new tires last 50 years. Good evening Joseph and dad.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Yes, it is a great machine. I would be surprised if the new tyres last as long. Take care and I hope you are having a great week

[@gravelyman]

Nice job on the tire replacement Joseph. To me your tire machine is a big time saver. Looks good with all matching tires. Take care 🔧👍

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks. You are spot on, we save a lot of time with the tyre changer. In the past we would either struggle for a long time or waste hours taking the tyre somewhere. It does look cool with a matching set of tyres. Take care

[@philhermetic]

I do like your tyre machine!! I used a short piece of angle iron and a big hammer for bead breaking! A bodge, but it works!! When you are putting the second bead over the rim, get some tyre soap on your fingers and rub it on the inside of the bead, works wonders! They went on very well, tubeless can sometimes be a pig to get seated! Another good video Joseph! Phil

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks for the tip. We bought the tyre changer when we were looking at tractors in Sussex and dragged it back to Norfolk. It is a very handy machine and saves a lot of time. The machine is a joy to use on new tyres but more of a struggle on old tyres. It took us a long time to get the hang of seating tubeless tyres but we only try on newish tyres. Take care

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Nice tire changer Joseph. Had to finish watching this on my old phone I needed this one for other projects and I can’t comment with the other one. Full watch

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks. The tyre changer is a great machine to have. Take care

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good Evening Joseph Crew 😇😇🙏🙏Ho ! Ho ! Tyre Repair needed badly 😮 No super glue will work on that old tyre Joseph 🤣🤣👍👍Nice new tyres 🧐🧐👍👍Be Well Joseph Crew and Keep Up Your OUTSTANDING Father and Son Team Work Cheers 🍻🍻

[@GardenTractorBoy]

It is a shame about the original tyres but the new ones look very good. Take care and have a great week

[@DIYVariety]

Well joseph i like your changer save time and knucles lol

[@GardenTractorBoy]

It is a great machine to have and we do not miss the bruises. Take care

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Makes jobs easier changing tyres with the proper equipment, looks good with the new tyres, small tip i seen done putting in them sort of wheel studs is getting a couple of bolts same tread cut the heads off and then you can hang the wheel on 👍👍

[@GardenTractorBoy]

The tyre changer is a very handy tool. That is a great idea to create wheel studs as these are a pain to fit, thanks. Take care

[@richardross7219]

After you've changed a few hundred tires, you'll get the hang of it. Always check the tire valve for leaks too. Nice video. Good Luck, Rick

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks. I think we are slowly getting the hang of changing tyres but you are right, we need to change a few hundred more before we really know how to do it. Thanks for the tip about the valve. Take care

[@retiredforlife63]

That looked like a tiresome job😅 Nicely done!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

LOL. Thanks, the tyre changer makes this an easy job. Take care

[@larrybl]

I like the tire machine. Some super glue and the old tires will be good as new.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

The tyre changer is fantastic, it was a good purchase. At some point we want to try to modify the tyre changer so we can use it on front wheels that have a small diameter centre. Take care

[@oldirongarage1962]

I was needing a new front tire for my QT17 project. I was gonna try to find a good original. But i was impressed with those BKT tires you have there and now i have a complete set in my shopping cart on eBay. 🤣 Thank you. And a job well done.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks. BKT tyres are fantastic, they are not an exact match but they look great. They are very easy to fit which is always a good sign of a quality tyre. Let us know how you get on with them. Take care

[@EverydayProjects]

Nothing like getting new Tyres! Make sure to put Winter Air in them. If you fill them with Summer Air, the tread will wear unevenly.😅

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks for the reminder, we put summer air in them :-) The tyres look great and it is lovely fitting new tyres. Take care

[@eyuptony]

Nice one Joseph. Just shows, the right too for the job makes light work. Cheers Tony

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks Tony. You are right, the tyre changer makes this an easy job. Take care

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

No shame in how long the old one lasted. Now I gotta go and look for a gnat’s whisker 😂

[@GardenTractorBoy]

LOL. I don't think the new tyres will last as long but you never know. Take care

[@kimber1958]

Great video Joseph/Great camera work DAD.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks. The tractor looks good on new tyres. Take care

[@daveshsb]

Good work Joseph! Hard to believe those old Goodyears only lasted 50 years. Go figure! Your tire changer reminds me of the one in my Grandfather Filling Station / Garage from back in the day - say 1970's. Take care!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks. We have no idea how old the tyre changer is but I would not be surprised if it was made in the 1970's. Take care

[@maintenancewithmike]

Hahaha😂. Awesome tire change Joseph. Looks like you got every penny worth out of the old ones. 🍻

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks. The old tyres did last a long time, it is a shame they rotted out as they had plenty of tread. I hope the new ones will last 50 years. Take care

[@whenworkisplay]

Hello Joseph. Nice tires. Really like the tire changer, what a labour saver. Take care, Ben

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks Ben. The tyres changer is great to have, it is a tool we use a lot. Take care

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Nice job changing the tires. Too bad they wore out and only 50 years old too!! LOL Having the tire changer sure makes this a lot more pleasant job to do!! Take 'er easy!!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks. The tyres had lots of tread but sadly they rotted out. I am expecting 50 years from the replacements :-) Take care

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Hey Joseph , I really like your tire changer . Nice job 👍🏻

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks 👍 The tyre charger is fantastic I am not sure how we could live without it now. Take care

[@gatorsworld]

Those new tires looks really good. That’s a god job and you done it very easy it looked like from here….CHEERS

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks. The job did go better than we expected and the new tyres do look cool. Take care

[@mikelastime]

Nice time machine looks like it works great

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks. It does work well but it is only a basic machine. Take care

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thank you. Take care

[@loggerjohn01]

Hello! I don't understand what was wrong with the old tires. Just a quick patch would have fixed it. lol. That tire changer is a great asset for sure. Thanks for sharing!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

LOL. Thanks, the tyre changer is great to have. Take care

[@jankotze1959]

Great video Joseph, the Bolens looking good

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks. It is a shame about the original tyres but the new ones look good. Take care

[@LewisMowersandBoats]

Very cool brother Joseph 😎 I like that tire changer....I need one like that 😀 thanks for sharing buddy 👊

[@GardenTractorBoy]

The tyre changer saves a lot of time and it is great to use on new tyres. I am sure you would make good use of one. Take care

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

Yep, I would have kept cutting grass with that tire too, especially if i was almost done.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

We were surprised the tube did not explode by continuing to cut but it didn't and I am sure it would have carried on for longer. Take care

[@WaynJul]

Tires looked passed their use.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

It is a shame the tyres rotted out as they had a lot of tread. Take care
