Bad things can happen. Maybe the owner got arrested and sent to prison or had a terrible car accident and died. If the person had no close relatives then nobody would know about the equipment that was in the estate.

That’s a nice little loader. That’s the perfect size for general contractors and small material handling operations.

Thank you for that

[@davida.p.9911]

I think it has to be higher off the ground. The tire might even have to be remounted, which would require a mobile tire service. It might be off the back of the rim too. Good job guys! Thanks for sharing, Wily!

Take you some vice grips and clamp to the outside ring on the tire. Jack it up all the way. And pull on the pliers while putting air in. I drive a loader and we could get one to air up and a tire shop come and showed us how to do it. Hope this helps. It worked for us. 😊

That’s a nice loader to abandon! Need to run something like that through the creeks and rivers up here to get all the rock out after the flood. If you need river rock we got em 😅. Great job !

[@Silverrodo8104]

Those tires you have to get tye wait off the tire . Usually you have to change the seal in behind the ring. Wally I operate a 2022 front loader. There great loaders. You might have to get a tire guy out there to help fix it but it can be aired up have a great a blessed one my friend.

[@helmichaouech9698]

Good job guys!

[@swallowinn4410]

Take 2 pieces of 4x6 widerthan the tire by at least 6 inches on each side of the rim.raise & Rotate tire place blocks on either side of flat spot. Lower and put pressure on the blocks. You may have to raise and lower several time It should help reshape tire working the flat spot out. The idea is to get the rubber flexing. Use your tire soap and start with reasonably low pressure to let the tire start to reshape and seat on bead. Once tire is reshaped if id does not seat on bead try a quick high pressure shot. Getting the flat spot out is a big step in reseating. Good luck.

[@allenmoore4400]

Your doing it right need more volume of air probably to get the bead to seat

[@petahdickinson1782]

Your little compressor just ain’t doing it the tyre guys have massive compressors on their trucks to force more air into the tyre sometimes it has to come apart to replace the o ring

[@DontbeWily]

I told property owner the same thing about tire man lol.

[@lonniethomas9351]

Try taking the valve core out of the stem. It will get a lot more air. Sometimes it works and other times it don't. Just do the best you can.

[@aussiedirtmover]

❤❤❤ great vid trick is soap acts as a temporary seal take core out of valve stem screw on a quick release air fitting wait for your air comp to be at max then clip the air fitting on it's the sudden high volume rush that pushs the walls out once you lose the rush of air you have to repeat if it fails dont just let the comp blow a lower volume in as it escapes to fast... You may need to lower the jack to apply some pressure on the tyre to force its wall out real bad ones I use a chain an dog around tyre to push the sidewalls out.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 some tryes take many tricks 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 also bang on the rim as you rush the air in the vibration often helps IF THE ABOVE FAILS KNEEL DOWN AND PRAY ❤❤❤❤❤

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for the Tips. lol

[@aussiedirtmover]

@DontbeWily your welcome 👍👍👍👍

[@Fatamus]

I use to be a tire man eons ago. Jack tire up off the ground. Pull valve core. Take two 2' er 4" ratchet straps and wrap them around the outside of the tread. With the ratchets at ten and two tighten the straps somewhat equally. A warm tire should start to round out, cold tires will need a lot more persuasion. There are some other great ideas here a combination of them should work . CAUTION when the tire starts to take air release the straps immediately or the straps will burst. Try to avoid using starting fluid.

There is a front end loader just sitting on a lot in my home town I don’t think it’s moved in 3 years. Crazy how people will just leave equipment laying.

[@jackrichards1863]

There very solid reasons why. Never to presume it is forgotten can save a lot of heartache. However what you tell us is very interesting. Although moving those machines costs such a lot even if you own a suitable rig they commonly sit until further use is found. If it doesn't pay. It doesn't move. 👍

[@DontbeWily]

It really is. Thanks for sharing

Hello my friend

[@DontbeWily]

Hello

[@TheIronDuke502]

Hello Wily, Here I mentioned a Komatsu Front End Loader and you have one in this video. The bucket is like the ones that we had on our loaders for loading rock salt. The tires that were on our John Deere loaders had a 1-4 inch to 3/8 inch rubber o ring that would break and the tires absolutely would not hold air - I am not sure if the Komatsu loaders had the rubber o rings like the John Deere loaders had or not. I would definitely say that the rim has a lot of rust & crud buildup on the beads. You need one of the tire inflators for your air hose with a longer hose and the locking collar that locks onto the threaded end of the tire valve so that you don’t have to be so close to the ring on the tire - Those tire rings are very deadly.

[@DontbeWily]

I would say it’s the setup on your JD Thanks for sharing

[@George-i7p]

No they're not! 😂😂😂😂

[@glennjukes5581]

Ah-old Myers Tire Goop--been around forever.

[@galeschmidt3016]

I believe that tire soap is a lubricant for putting tires on and off the rim. Dont think its going to hold any air in.

[@bobtucker8875]

Sure would like to hear the back story on that loader.

[@PapaJ5667]

I used to to otr tires if you jack ot up and get the tire off the ground of you dont have soap spray some wd 40 on the o ring and it should air up but the rim flange needs to be pulled to the oring i have been able to push the back of tire to make it seal ...looks like Michelin tires so it should sesl easy they have very flexible sidewalls

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you for sharing

[@bobbeals1509]

Try using some expanding foam to develop a temporary seal for the tire!!

[@larrybolhuis1049]

It seems logical that the tire is 'bent' and doesn't want to fit to the rim. You need to try the old starting fluid trick, spray it in and light it to see if that will pop the tire back out to meet the wheel. If nothing else it may warm up the tire a bit.

[@DontbeWily]

Thought about it but..

You need to take the inner core out of the valve and that lets the air in faster, you need a big bore valve connector on the compressor dont use a valve reducer. Dont worry about the tyre it will be ok once you blow it up to about 40psi.

[@malcolmmclellan-k8d]

put a big ratchet strap around the outside of the tire and tighten, this will help the tire to seal

Hey young fella got suggestion for you watch a flash that tire leave it up for a few days late I guess natural shape back in a little bit and then put some kind of a gasoline or starter fluid or something around the bead and light it no ask somebody to tire store how to do that before you do it I don't want to blow yourself up but the whole time trucker trick is a flashlight tire

Thanks for another awesome video Wiley and Jacob. It was most interesting. Wow. That appears to be a pretty nice unit yet. Hard to believe someone just left it be and never came back after it. It appeared to start and run good. Nice tin work yet. I would believe with some TLC and touch up, someone will have a nice heavy duty unit. As far as that tire goes can’t help you there.
