Ross you are always a pleasure to watch with your knowledge of equipment and tidbits of laughter, nothing bad to say from Illinois

[@rosstheoliverman]

Thanks Doug!

[@danielwinger7382]

Ross, the first thing that came to my mind while watching you dance with that tire was...going to a dr. and him saying that we need more exercise. We are your Hoosier neighbors up north and also have a plot of sadness we live on. That lets us relate to all of your vids. When you put the tire back on Mighty Whitey, please invite your dr. to help. lol

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

The Indian dance had me laughing! It was offensively hilarious!

[@rosstheoliverman]

It’s also quite historically accurate as it is the oldest known recorded footage of Indian dancing. I did my research. 🤣

[@terrynoland487]

Excellent video again more progress thanks for sharing

[@johnbender1596]

Thanks Ross, we enjoy watching you work! Even changing tires! Now on to working with the large heavy parts while replacing the seal. Thanks

[@rosstheoliverman]

Thanks John!

[@Don_ECHOguy]

I feel your pain when struggling with the big tractor tires... it's not fun and no easy task. I too have three antique tractors that need this done. Two tractors will need the fluid removed and rim repairs and the third likely just new tubes. Be interesting to see the seal replaced. Good vid.

[@martymurphy7477]

Cool Barley pops video

[@justinblain928]

No barley pop here but coffee was good while watching the struggle. lol. I can’t help myself but I enjoy the crap out of watching you and part of me is wanting to visit and help.

[@rosstheoliverman]

🤣 thanks Justin!

[@justinblain928]

@@rosstheoliverman any time. Seriously though I would love to help out. I love working on old equipment. Which is why I have no parking space anymore because of tractors and equipment

[@spro9639]

Mr Ross as many tires that you mess with you should get a bucket of Murphys tire soap it would make your life so much better. 😊

[@rosstheoliverman]

I know, other people have mentioned that stuff I need to order some.

[@marijanvidic1715]

Thanks Ross for interesting videos and great work You done and share to us. One idea. Try to use rost converter on rims (inside tyre surfance). I done and it was realy nice. One again thanks for sharing Your expiriance. Keep going on.

[@user-kl3tt7ly9o]

I think Samta will bring you some Oliver stuff

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

I had to chuckle when you hit that with the wire wheel,😂,rust dust went all over the place, lol. I am interested in watching the video on repairing the seal. I've not seen one changed on one of those yet. See you soon.

[@shawnhagen6871]

Ross the KZbin channel Territorial Trading has acquired an Oliver 2655 and it looks real similar to your 4-180. I wish you could get one, that would be an awesome project to watch!

[@rosstheoliverman]

I’d love to have one but they’re usually never close by or affordable.

[@tomharrington1393]

I read all of the comments on every video and it’s obvious when people comment before watching the entire video. Oh well! At least it’s a comment. Biggest tire I have changed was a bicycle tire. Saving big $ usually means hard work. Sure hope you solve the issues with your white Ford peecup without it costing a lot. 👍👍

[@rosstheoliverman]

Thanks Tom!!

[@DonWelter]

Big ag tires are no small potatoes to handle. One project on your farm leads to another. No shortage of job security!!!

[@jasonandholliehuffman8291]

Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks, will do!

Another nice video Ross. You truly are a busy man. I hope you can make that other rim work. That might be quite a chore. Thank you for sharing.

Good wood blocks are always undervalued. Every farm sale l go to l always walk the sheds/barns as l know unless the person you're talking to directly isn't the farmer, they won't give them a second thought. Usually offer a buck or two and they think l'm doing them a favour by taking an old oil and grease soaked chunk of useless wood off their hands.

[@rosstheoliverman]

I’ve been getting the ends that they saw off of making railroad ties at the sawmill. They really work great and they’re perfectly square.

[@johnziegler3695]

Good job on the rim ross Buddy had faith in you cause he left. Lol

[@rosstheoliverman]

🤣🤣🤣

[@koreymartinson7238]

A clean rim is a happy rim!

[@rosstheoliverman]

So true 🤣

[@johnkissack5295]

The wheel really looks n good shape. F your looking for square wooden blocks go to your closest County Maintenance shop or DOT shop they could have some laying around. I worked for the SDDOT for 40 years and when Guard Rail gets upgraded or some get deleted they end up with a huge amount of wooden blocks that go between the guard rail and posts which we gave away to many guys.

[@rosstheoliverman]

I never thought of that! I was thinking that their guard rail was all steel I beam, even the part in the ground.

[@darweb3417]

Hard work, but critical.

[@rosstheoliverman]

Yes it is!

[@MikeJensen-wo7oh]

Where's Allen when you need him? Oh wait, that's that other Oliver guy's helper!

[@neilkratzer3182]

I need to ask everyone a question. Why is it on most tractor videos everyone leaves the rim on the tractor to change tires. My dad, uncle , and myself gave changed bunches of rear tires but we just took the rims off and layed them flat. Big slide breaker to bust the bead and just peel it off. From the north when we run calcium chloride. Never had an issue but always keep a check on stems.

[@rosstheoliverman]

I do it because usually it’s easier to rotate it and hold the thing solid with it still on the tractor. On the ground do you have to do a lot of pulling up especially on the last bead. But to each his own.

[@neilkratzer3182]

@rosstheoliverman Thanks we just never had that problem but I could see why .

[@brianhartley4534]

I'm impressed you got that tire off by yourself that's a lot of lugging dude gonna make an old man out of ya quick goes to show ya anybody who says farming is easy ain't never done any of it

[@rosstheoliverman]

🤣 thanks Brian!!

[@Ham68229]

Ross, my grand dad, when I was a kid, would go out in the pasture, find a tree that "didn't need to be there", cut it down, chunk it, then cut his own blocks out of it. Only need 2 sides that are flat, he'd do that with the chain saw. Just an old timers trick. I hope you drop the rim off, makes things easier to get to the seal. I thought you said that's what you were going to do in the last video on the 4-180. Just how prone were the articulating 4wds to having these seals go bad? I knew a guy who had the old Case 4wd, always had an issue with the planetaries, didn't matter if he used the crab steer or not, in turn those planetaries destroyed the seals. Great video as always, cheers :)

[@rosstheoliverman]

I don’t know that these ever really had an issue with seals. It’s just probably time because they’re probably the originals. Thanks!!

[@bigun447]

Sie brauchen eine gute, starke deutsche Frau, die für Sie die Reifen wechseln kann. Ich habe deinen Schmerz beim Reifenwechsel gespürt. Die Versiegelung wird eine anspruchsvollere Aufgabe sein. Tolles Video

[@rosstheoliverman]

Danke, Gary! Ich brauche eine gute starke Frau und vielleicht kann sie den Pflug ziehen und dem Traktor eine Pause geben

You keep calling yourself a fat guy, but your jeans are falling down to the point where it hobbles your stance. You have the same problem I had: A round face. Everyone called me fat, even when I had lost enough weight to be under the recommended height/weight ratio of the time. So I gave up and really did get fat. I'm losing it now, and this time it's coming out of my face as well (I'm old now: 66) and everyone is now noticing I've lost weight. So, get a new pair of smaller-sized jeans (if you need to, get gusseted jeans like the Firehose jeans from Duluth Trading Company. Expensive, but will wear much longer than FleetFarm jeans). 2 cut a couple more notches in your belt so things don't slip. 3. Stop putting yourself down about your size. The lifting and wrenching you do is going to give you larger lungs and muscles in your chest, so again you'll look huge compared to a computer programmer, but for what you do, it's a healthy size.

[@user-kl3tt7ly9o]

Hi, great work on removing that tire. I got tired out watching you and had to take a few breaks. Can't wait to see you replace the seal. Jack from western canada.

[@petepeeff5807]

You might check with the combine salvage yards as that is a popular size. But being harvest is over the used ones may be mostly gone by now.

[@petepeeff5807]

Find you a pole barn building buddy for the 6×6 blocks they usually are flush with scrap. I usually cut them to 18" length so you can stack em like linclon logs to build a stable base.
