How to Change the Tire on a John Deere L110 Lawn Tractor

[@robpurchia1464]

Starter fluid trick was sick! Great straight forward video. Thx bud

[@funbro1]

It is kind of fun, dangerous so be careful if you try it, but fun. Thanks for watching.

[@brianbrehmeyer3929]

Thanks. I was having problems removing the rubber cap and wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing....Finished watching to the end. That is a GREAT idea, using the grinder to make the tire removal a lot easier.

[@funbro1]

Glad it helped, Thanks for watching.

[@kennedymcgovern5413]

Now see, I have watched a few videos on how to do this, and this is the first one that is useful. Thank you. You see, as a teenager I worked in a garage. I KNOW how to change a tire. But what everyone else who made a video on this subject seems to overlook is the fact that i DO NOT HAVE a pneumatic tire press, nor a tire machine in my garage! Big ass C-Clamp and a grinder. Now those I have. Roger that, buddy. This will work. Thanks again!

[@funbro1]

Glad you found this video.

[@nickmikulak9005]

Great video but at almost 65 years old I just have to wonder why do you call a "c" clip an "e" clip but you still call a "c" clamp a "c" clamp... I'm hoping it's just to keep me from living another 24 days so I can say I made it to 65😂

[@AutomaticInc-cu5nq]

This worked quite well. Thanks. Except, the tire just deflated after a few seconds and lost the seal the first time I tried it. The second time, I hooked up the air compressor while I lit the flame, then quickly removed the strap and allowed the tire to inflate to about 7 pounds to complete the seal before mounting it back on the tractor where I finished inflating it to 10 pounds.

[@RojmaEsbog1]

Thanks for the video! One of my tires got damaged so I had to take off to go get a new tire. When I went to put back on, i noticed the small metal pin/key and was wondering what it was. The one the axle was turned it was upside down so I didn't see the slot. Your video made me realize what the metal key was for and how to properly put the tire back on.

[@funbro1]

Glad it was a help to you. Thanks for watching.

[@mikemcgown6362]

Good video! I've seated beads without the fire, just a strap around tread and adjusting tire body while adding air. Most times it works.

[@Stratsman23]

You are a champion! I tried a strap and it worked great. I came here after an hour of mucking about trying to inflate the tyre. My frustrations were solved by your comment. Thanks!

[@mikemcgown6362]

@@Stratsman23 glad I could help. The shop I used to work at had a device that would shoot a sudden burst of air between the rim and the bead to seat it, but that was only for car and light truck tires. Like an air bazooka. It was kinda dangerous to use.

[@funbro1]

That way works but it isn’t as much fun. Lol thanks for watching.

[@metalshopfantasycamp1883]

The starter fluid to explode the bead in place is amazing!

[@funbro1]

Yes, it is amazing however somewhat dangerous. Always be careful. Thanks for watching.

[@bonir01]

Thanks for video, don't have the same rider, but helps understand how to change tire

[@funbro1]

Glad it helped, Thanks for watching.

[@stevenfry3442]

Great video, thanks! My tires were severely misshapen due to being packed for shipping. To seat the beads, I had better luck leaving the strap off, then using the starter fluid.

[@funbro1]

Sounds good, for some reason I had to use the strap. Thanks for watching.

[@stevenfry3442]

funbro1 my tires came basically ‘folded’ into a box for shipping, so every time I would tighten the strap, they would collapse back into that weird shape. Couldn’t get the beads near the rim.

[@lonniecurtis3540]

hi bob i have a s130 has 20x10 rear tires,do you know if the rim is for the 20x8 -8,and if that size will fit them,thanks good video

[@funbro1]

I'm not sure?

[@lonniecurtis3540]

hi Bob I have some new tires 20x8-8,and jd said rim size is 8 inches width, should those work ,thanks

[@misterh3]

helpful, I like the idea of using the c clamp

[@funbro1]

Thanks for watching.

[@bnhamilton]

Can you tell me exactly what kind of fluid you use? I have tried small engine starter fluid, and charcoal lighter fluid so far with no success. Should they work?

[@funbro1]

In the video it was Carb cleaner but starting fluid can also be used. ALWAYS use caution if you attempt seating a bead this way. Thanks for watching.

[@donbailey6600]

I used starter fluid but all it does is set the tire on 🔥

[@JonBecker81]

So you don’t grind the new tire to make it easier to put on?? 😂

[@funbro1]

Not this time. Thanks for watching.

[@williwonti]

Sometimes these rubber caps get hardened up a bit and it helps to warm them up before you take them off. A hair dryer or heat gun on low.

[@funbro1]

Good tip, thanks for the view.

[@bearbearjames]

What size C-clamp are you using?

[@funbro1]

I’d say about a 16 inch? Thanks for watching.

[@ToddField-cq3zj]

How do you put a tire on a lawn mower rim?

[@funbro1]

Watch the video?

[@codyjensen1773]

Thanks, I got a 1970 John deere 110 and I’m restoring it and I got new tires but I’m only 13 so I’m not sure how to get it off thanks so much.

[@funbro1]

Glad I could help, Thanks for watching.

[@RFNY315]

Stupid question but what does it mean to set the bead and what is the bead

[@funbro1]

The tire bead is considered the edge of the tire that sits on the wheel. to seat the bead means to "seal" or 'Lock" it into its correct position. Hope this helps, Thanks for watching.

[@RFNY315]

@@funbro1 the correct position just means flush against the rim, all the way around, right? Welcome. And thanks for the info. Both of my tires have those dry cracks all over and are flat. I think I need new ones. They weren’t even that old lol

[@funbro1]

Yes up against the wheel. You should hear a bit of a pop when it seats.

[@brianbrehmeyer3929]

There are no stupid questions. (Not that you'd get that understanding from most KZbin comments.)

[@RFNY315]

@@brianbrehmeyer3929 true. I ended up completing this. And damn it was hard to switch those out lol.

[@zeroturn7091]

Are you using JD OEM replacements? I’m looking for a third party new set due to winter rot.

[@funbro1]

This tire was not an OEM. It was purchased online. Thanks for watching.

[@TheOregonOutlaw]

Just got 2 from Amazon - $60

[@kennedymcgovern5413]

Now for everyone: Be careful when you use this beading method. I used a strap to bead up a tire on a dolly recently. It WORKS. But...when you go to let loose that strap...it's going to pop back at you. It caught me in the thump and it was very painful. Just wear some thick gloves when you get to that part.

[@funbro1]

Oh no, caution must always to be used with tires. Hope you’re OK, thanks for watching.

[@jameschanda8743]

Yeees it worked boom!! Be safe all . Tie or anchor it to be safe

[@funbro1]

Yes, definitely be safe. Thanks for watching.

[@kerns05jk]

Yea i dont remove the rim i just deflate the tire then drive the tractor to break the beed and the tire comes right off with the correct tire iron and the other one slides right over the rim with dish soap..use the weight of the lawn mower to take tire off rim...easy 5 minutes. Thats to much messing around with the rim. Work smarter not harder.

[@funbro1]

Sounds good, thanks for view.

[@apathetic25]

I drove around my backyard, then to my front, then up and down my driveway, and then back to my backyard, and then in circles. Nothing. I ended up just having my 350lb renter stand on the sides of the tire while it laid flat (after taking it off)

[@glenwagaman9103]

There's always one.

[@TheOregonOutlaw]

Antifreeze to make rubber slide like fresh ice!

[@funbro1]

Nice, thanks for the tip and thanks for watching.

[@michaeldiggs3009]

E clip is hard to get back on

[@funbro1]

It can be difficult at times. Thanks for watching.

[@momoniu2689]

any way to set the beed without igniting it on fire?

[@funbro1]

Large tire irons or a tire machine would work. Thanks for watching.

[@poppyshoessp]

I was with you until you set it on fire. I'll leave that to the fellas. Thanks!

[@funbro1]

That was just the fun part of the tire change. Thanks for watching.

[@MrKenmai51]

You shoud use spray more soap lube so tire can go easy

[@funbro1]

As explained in the video, I like to use Windex because it lubricates enough but doesn’t leave a soapy film. Thanks for watching

[@mightymightymightyman199]

Good video. Please, for the love of Jesus, do an update video where you clean the mower deck. That thing is DIRTY. No way to treat a John Deere...

No reason. Thanks for watching.

[@miguelangelvalderrama1808]

Noooooooooooo😱😱😱😱man, how are you going to cut the old tire?????? That old tire should work as a spare, or for a go kart.

I am going to cut the tire as it had non repairable damage to it. Better to get a new one for the kart anyway. Thanks for watching.

For $20 more you can buy one already on a rim.
