I found another use for my Monarch CK12 lathe ( listed as a 12" but 14.5 over the bed )
Bead breaker
It actually worked very well. The original front tires on my 1968 Cub Cadet 125 needed to be replaced and the local lawn and garden shop wanted too much money so I'm doing it myself. The tire size is 4.00/4.80 -8
I turned a 1" shank tool around in the BXA holder and used that to press right next to the bead. Push, turn and repeat while prying with the the claw on my framing hammer. The rims are 3/4" axle so I put a piece of 3/4" stock in the collet chuck. Once the beads were broken, the correct tire spoons were used to remove the tire.
I will wire brush, then sand the rims and repaint before installing the new tires.
I picked up the tri ribs and tubes from Miller Tire when they were out at Rough and Tumble's Threshermans Reunion in August.
