DC FRONT TIRE

[KENIND]

Hello, I have a 1950 Case DC that I need to have a new tire tube installed. Where do I jack the tractor up at. And the tire looks like it would be very heavy. Like a cast rim with only 3 bolts holding it on. I would like any HELP with any knowledge on what to do.....Thanks, Kenny

Drive the other tire up on a block of wood if it's a narrow front. Find help with the rim they're as heavy as they look.

Jack under the axle, or if narrow, follow RFDMN's advice. However, don't remove the rim from the tractor. Much easier to leave rim on the
wheel and replace the tube, the same as the professionals do replacing or servicing a rear tire.

I usually leave the wheel on the tractor and remove the tire from the wheel.

Casecollectorsc describes what I do for my DC front tire problems. With narrow front tractor drive good tire up on a block, then
remove the tire and tube without taking the rim off. Wide front, jack up axle and remove tire and tube leaving rim on the hub. I
removed the tire and rim(heavy) to replace the bearings, it was a bit tough, used the cherry picker made it doable. gobble

It is not like a cast rim . it is a cast rim.

Drive good wheel up on a block..two by six or eight.
Heavy cast iron.
Real devil to put back on. Get one bolt threaded in, rotate wheel and good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did run it up in a block and had the tire guy come out and put a new tube in it and we are back in business. Again THANKS..... Kenny
