When do you

Cut the hole in the hood while the tires are filling. If you have time after the first hole make a couple more just for the experience
 
Might I suggest cutting a hole directly in the tires thereby allowing the tires to load easily so you can drink a beer whilst doing so.

see what works for me is let the tires fill, they'll be fine, and setting the cutting torch on low heat on top of the hood, and make a quick beer run. multitasking is the key to being a smart mechanic. when you get good at it, you can pick up the beer and have it half drunk before you need to follow the fire engines home.
 
I always cut the hole in the hood before I load the tires. Make sure and cut it plenty large or tomorrow you will be cutting a second hole twice the size of first.
 
Back in the days of sail, there was an old clipper captain retired from the sea and took up farmin', to the great amusement of his neighbors.

He was out bustin' up some ground with a team of oxen and was havin an awful time. If they'd go at all, they were apt to go in any direction. Thought he might have had the off ox on the on side and switched 'em out and things only got worse. He figured they were dumb, and went back to the barn and brought out his mule, hitched her in front of the oxen, with the idea tshe'd lead them in a straight line.

Wasn't long before he had an awful mess, worse than before. Neighbor leanin' up against the fence, takin' in the scene hollers out, "What seems to be the trouble, cappy?"

Ol' captain sez, "Not sure, but I'm thinkin' I got the larboard ox on the starboard side, and Jenny's got fouled in the riggin'."
 
Hey,laugh if you want to,but I was just noticing this morning that the Bondo is cracking on the hood of my Oliver 77 where I had to patch it because some ying yang cut it. Left tire goes soft too,but thankfully it's not loaded.
 
Silly people!

First you cut the hole in the hood.

If you don't have a hole in the hood, you can't get the hose in there to load the tires.

And the tires automatically unload after nine months!
