OK, Ironman was right. This HF rig is not a magic tool. I got the 6-12 ags on using the HF mini tire changer. But it was a BEEECH! NOT FUN. Just like the video below ended up using the tire spoons rather than the red bead tool.
The inner tube valve stem is at an angle on one. Maybe tomorrow I will let the air out and try to shift that tube not sure if that will work. But, they are on, and on the tractor. Some of the lug bolts had damaged threads and tomorrow I'll chase those with the tap and the die.
next up is the tri-rib fronts.
Here's a video that i showed my wife. It is essentially exactly what was going on in my shop.
