many thanks for the video Eric, I am now a little bit more enlightened on the effort it takes to change a tractor tire, much respect to Scott. be sure and show us the end result.

[@mariofollowerofjesus8068]

Eric your brother Scott did an awesome job the video was automotive. Farm equipment Hope this video gives your brother business

[@FordTechMakuloco]

It's amazing how you can even make tractor repair interesting!!

[@SouthMainAuto]

Lol thanks Brian!

[@eberlyrobert]

Both of you guy's make great videos

[@oldbloke100]

@@eberlyrobert I've learnt a lot from both of these good mechanics.

[@dandahermitseals5582]

That was good. I'm a retired trucker n I've had them pull and replace the tire without removing the rim.

[@jimbos1567]

I enjoyed this one very much. Never saw a tractor tire replacement before.

[@watsonm05]

"If he can do it, you might better let him." Made me LOL!

[@CheezyDee]

"If my brother can do it, YOU can do it." Sounds insulting.

[@melarky8555]

I busted a laugh out also

[@georgeswindolljr1980]

Awesome video, your right about letting him do it!!!! Just because someone makes a job look easy, doesn’t mean it is easy!!!! I learned some hard lessons before I figured that out!!!!! LOL There’s no substitute for experience and the skills a person develops gaining that experience!!!!!!

[@erict4883]

both brothers seem like cool guys. Thumbs up man...always cool to change it up a little.

[@larryehrlich8702]

Experts always make what they due look easy. Whether you are a mechanic or a tire guy or an airline pilot.

[@satamanschmidt3428]

Eric I consider you to be a good friend and I really like these videos because your life and upbringing is so entirely different from my own. I was a scientist - about as white collar as it gets since I wore a clean room bunny suit for a good portion of the day, worked in a class 1 semiconductor clean room (1 submicron particle per cubic foot of air) with white walls and no windows at a constant 70F and exactly 50% relative humidity (because that's what Photoresist likes). I'm a city kid from Pittsburgh who never even saw a cow until he was 21 years old, and I don't think I ever saw a tractor until I took a trip on the PA turnpike where I saw a farmer plowing a field while going down the Turnpike at 80 mph on my way to Washington DC. Asphalt and concrete was what I walked on (or well manicured grass of course when I was golfing at the club) and corn was something that came from Kroger's. When I visited you it was like I was an Apollo astronaut and had gone to the Moon. I really enjoyed my stay because it was so foreign to me. I really appreciated your way of life, although it wouldn't work for me as I don't posses the skills I'd need to survive in "the wilderness." Anyway, variety is the spice of life and thanks for sharing this with us city folks.

[@Last-Varangian]

I've changed many a tractor tire like this, in fact, got one to do tomorrow. I do my own, not for a living like this guy. Hats off to him, it is hard work, even with all the correct tools, as the tires weigh over 100 pounds each!

[@jaredthisdelle5617]

Big up Scott .backbone of the world hard working men .

[@CCWSig]

I always enjoy watching someone who is good at their craft, no matter what that craft may be. They always make it look easy.

[@SouthMainAuto]

I agree. I enjoy watching any one that is good at what thy do.

[@mr.nobody9630]

Two Thumbs Up Eric. O. - I was talking with a co-worker which has a huge property and owns an old beater tractor. He was telling me how a big pain in the rear in to replace a tire in a tractor and the cost as well. This happened sometime last year. The timing in this video is just awesome he telling about the tire and you made this video about it. I am gonna share this video with him when I get to work. A +

[@dennispfeifer7788]

I'm in a state of shock! It took 4 minutes from jacking up the tractor untill the tire and tube was removed...! Great work brothers! I've gotta do one, so enjoyed your video...I bet it will take me half a day with sledge and duck bill hammer.

[@heavysnow8616]

Awesome video! Love watching any type of tradesman video. Folks that work all hours of the day and night, in any weather, dirt, grease or what have you keep the rest of the country progressing forward. I’m a retired aircraft mechanic and couldn’t be more proud of the work I accomplished. Hats off and a few beers to all who get their hands dirty to earn a buck. Great job Scott!

[@rbrit100]

Thank-You for this video. This is where the rubber meets the road. It is called "Realville". Great Job.

[@indianabob7166]

He was wiping sweat at the end----- that was your clue to go get him a "COLD BEVERAGE". What kind of a brother are you ?????? Before you start crying, I was just kidding.

[@cameradoctor205]

I was thinking the same as he drove away ... Geez Bro, where's the beer ;)

[@BigIsleJ]

It's cool that you've got brothers in different automotive/equipment service fields. And your closing line made me smile :) Good job Sir

[@emtscythe3782]

Hey, it's guys like your brother that keep the world turning. Stuff that you and I could probably spend 5 hours doing that he can do in an hour. We all have our crafts. Nice to see another O Bro.

I was raised on a dairy farm and grew up operating 2 Farmall H’s and an Oliver 66, this brought up memories!

I live in northern Vermont, this is farm country, we don't have a Mobil tractor guy we just take em to the regular garage or do them ourselves. Great video!

[@graymodeler]

I really like your brother, Scott. He did keep an eye on you when his back was turned though. I bet you brothers had a good time growing up.

[@jimconway3301]

I watch Jonathan W, a tow truck service owner in North Carolina and Andrew Camarata right there in upstate NY. They are great just like you and your brother.

[@motorcyclesandridingfree2899]

Them old school jacks are sweet we had them down south for anything real heavy to lift. They work amazing for what they are

[@rosscharlie5349]

I love watching a big tyre guy work, especially when they know what they are doing . Was at a tyre company years ago waiting to have delivery tyres changed to road tires on a 8 legger.The other guy I was with kept chirping in how easy the guy made it look and he could do it faster . Tyre fitter got pissed and offered him a go . The big mouth couldn't even lift the heel/breaker bar . We got back to our depot and it only seemed polite to accidently tell the other guys what a fool he made of himself. For showing us up the gaffer made him torque every truck wheel in the car park . I Seem to remember he managed 3 then keeled over with exhaustion He learnt the hard way being a big truck tyre fitter is a trade in its self

[@gerardbonus5354]

I did 14 years as a tyre fitter, several on the farm and 24hr service, I had to invent that method of fitting as it was impossible for a wee lad like myself at the time to lift the wheels with the weights. My breaker was wood or steel wedges and a sledge hammer :) I'd love to have had one of those crushers, I have broken both beads, but I do see hois point as the whole thing moves, I had a little gripper that just wedged in and held the tyre. Back in my day we were buying tractors for the cost of today's tyres :)

[@joeshmoe8912]

Eric another great video. Its always good to see family working together. You got a tight nit community up there in NY, and a family full of hardworking self employed people. Cheers my friend.

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Eric I am glad you took my advice, "if you can get someone else to do it..................."

[@jimbuford4147]

Years ago I had a Super H and the hub clamp on the right kept breaking so I traded the tractor. Thanks for your videos

Great to have a brother that can help you. Thanks for the overview.

[@michaelmclaughlin8474]

My wife was raised on a 450 acre dairy farm in Oxford, Pennsylvania. (Chester County) Her family used John Deere tractors and Massey Ferguson combines w/40 foot wide heads. They grew acres of soybeans, Feed corn, alfalfa, wheat, cobbler potatoes, and every other vegetable you possibly think up, it sure as hell ain’t,, an easy life...!!!

[@AvalancheMan]

Scott needs to have his own KZbin channel! I don't own a tractor, but it's cool watching someone work on them. Thanks.

[@paulanderson4032]

Nice change, Eric. Your brothers seem as easy going as you. Thanks.

[@rk22cc]

you are a natural at making videos, keep it up

[@Yawwee]

That was amazing on how the tire gets removed, cost of tires, stuff that breaks off, and what damages a tire on the job. Learned something today, Eric. Thank you and glad you made the video for the city dweller !!!!! Next time I drive through the country and see a farmer on his tractor - I'll blow my horn and give him a thumbs up !!!! So, when you are enjoying that big double meat burger with the ketchup and mustard and pickle ... you'll have respect for that tractor that made that lettuce, onion, and tomato possible for you to savor and enjoy !!! Farmers feed America !!!!!!!!

How many Brothers do you have, a brother for every job that has wheels👍👍👍

[@joecoleman7666]

[@StarTrekforever3698]

Nice i have never seen a tractor tire being fixed before. Wow your brother has been doing that for about 22 years awesome job! I wish you both the best keep up the good work.

[@gunnutmike]

I had to change the tires on my 1945 Case SC, so I looked at all the KZbin videos I could find on the subject. This one and the follow up remounting video were the best, hands down. Of course, Scott made it look easier than it was for me, but I was able to change them thanks to them.

[@stevejones8665]

Good to see your Brother Scottie coming to the rescue...Most youngsters these days can't even pull a tyre of a pushbike which is sad to see...wish the schools would teach them how it's done.

[@jimzivny1554]

Great video. Your dad raised you guys right, not afraid to work hard but your families are provided for. As a heavy truck mechanic I've done some big tires, that's hard work and sometimes dangerous. Hope we see Scott again.

[@SouthMainAuto]

Yes my parents did well, they gave us every thing we needed to live but if you wanted any thing more than that guess what, GET A JOB!

[@jimzivny1554]

[@lukestratton1533]

Never saw a tractor tire pulled down before, just goes to show there's a job for everyone if ya choose to do it. I miss being able to do the stuff I used to do all the time. Glad I found your channel it takes me back and I can relive the golden days through video. haha Your a good man bud.

[@ecleveland1]

I learned to drive an old Farmall like that when I was 10. My Papaw took me with him that morning and first showed my how to repair the brakes and afterward taught me to drive the tractor and disc a field. Little did I know how much I would drive a tractor after that day.

[@SuperDave21]

Woah..... I've got a lot of respect for your brother Scott, Eric... I had a really good friend that did a farm tire service business for 20 years or so... I went on several runs with him. That's a whole lot of hard work right there. Everything is way bigger and heavier than you are and it fights you most of the way.... Nice to have family in that business when you have a tractor! Cool video, I loved it....

[@mikechiodetti6737]

Mobile guys work hard and in all kinds of weather! My hat's off to him! Interesting way to disassemble a tractor tire. My Dad had a Farmall Cub. Not the Cub Cadet. Similiar in height to yours, except the seat and controls were offset to the right side. Old enough, it was a 6 volt system with a magneto. Nice machine!

Scott's bead breaker is a wonderful thing.

[@acarl-lo5tg]

This is a very informative video and explains the "how to" on tractor tires. It is interesting that 3 brothers are self employed entrepreneurs and own and operate business that are automotive related. I think that says something about an inner desire to work hard and do an excellent job for customers. Well DONE!

You are lucky to have such a good brother. Happy to help you and knows what he is doing. Mines an officer in the Army and is bloody useless and so full of himself. If I asked for help he would just tell me to get a man in to do it! Oh,and he drives an Audi,would not be seen dead in jeans or a shirt without a collar and refers to himself in the third party in conversation!

[@bartz118]

Last year my dad popped the tube on his international 674, his mud chains came loose and wrapped around the axle and pinched the tube. Luckily for him it wasn't that bad to fix it. I think with service call it was under 300 dollars.

[@MatHelm]

Most people don't realize just how many tractor owners there are. They're infinity useful on even the smallest plot of land. And they're designed to be completely rebuilt with simple tools out in the middle of a field somewhere. The only tool you need add to your collection is a high torque impact gun (800ft lb or better), else you give yourself a hernia. Ask me how I know. And a diesel will sit for years and still start on the first crank. If you look, there are many great deals out there, and implements are cheap as well. Several years ago I picked up a 63 MF35 diesel for $3k. It came with a 5' Bush hog, a 8" post hole digger, a 5' Box scrape, a Big 2 disc plow, a 4 axle disc, a 4 prong cultivator, and a 6' crane arm. Then a couple years back my uncle died, and I bought his 74 MF135 Diesel for $4k.
