You might be a redneck if...

After fighting a loader tire that had popped off the bead for about a hour this ended up being the solution.

Two ratchet straps, a chain, and my 96 cummins truck is all it took lol.


Anybody else did anything crazy when proper tools aren't available?

That is to safe to be the redneck way. Add starting fluid a match and a 50/50 chance of blowing up the loader now your talking

Doesn't everybody use ether? At 40 below (no shorts and T-shirts) a tire of any size is uhhh... stiff.

I've also used a tube stuffed between tire bead and wheel lip... inflate tube to take up the void, inflate tire to seat, cut the pinched tube. Crude, dangerous and effective.

You can't use either with that style of bead. It has a thin rubber band deal that goes between the tire and the rim to help seal it. (It's a stupid design) either just blows it out of the way and it won't bead up. Or it will set it on fire and then your really screwed.

At first glance, I thought the hydraulic jack was one of those foot operated bicycle air pumps
I could only imagine the work it would take to seat a tire like that with one of those foot pumps.
