When the siege begins, the construction of the camp begins - you will see the Building Siege Camp progress bar on the screen. I bought one of the slide hammer type bead breakers, and have not been overly impressed with it, it may work on the non safety rim tires like a 16.Siege engines should be built before the attack begins. One trick on tractor tires that have badly rusted rims, and will potentially damage a new tube, after cleaning any loose rust off, use duct tape and wrap the rim to provide a smooth surface on the tube contact area, (saw our local coop do that), and it may safe having to replace a rim that is rusted, if the strength is not compromised by the rust. I had one old tire a 1953 tire that finally blew on the old 6圆 truck, I worked on that with the tractor for close to 3 hrs, finally cut the tire open and then took a grinder with a cut off blade in it to cut the bead into to release it the tire, the tire flap had rusted on to the rim, so tight that it would not compress and so I could not get the tire down to remove the ring off the rim,Īfter getting the ring off, I finally got the flap loose, and a new tire and tube on, and chained the rim up and got it seated and set, it was a mess,
On really tough tire, that were mounted 30 to 50 years ago, I have used the forks on the tractor and push them down lifting the tractor off the ground,
I also bought a bead breaker, "Bead Cheata", 5500 Bead-Cheata
I have used it many many times, some times 4 to 6 times a day, changing the rear tires on tractors is a lot more work, I just use bars, and bought a air pump off of Ebay a number of years ago, for the transfer of liquid ballast, I finally took the ballast out of the tires it was tearing up the rims more than desired, (I would just pump it into 55 gallon drums, and used a hydraulic hose for a suction hose), and when the tire was fixed would pump it back, Many years ago I bought a coats 20 20 machine, simular to this one, 2020 08 (3)doc size.jpg
