Funny how threads sort of evolve. I was looking forward to seeing everybody's workbenches, toolboxes, and workshops. Oh well. This is fun, too.:biggrin2.gif:

I have two bead-seaters. One for easy jobs, looks just like a cargo strap. In fact it is a cargo strap. Just strap it around the tire, then tighten it up real tight. Then apply air to the valve, and voila! Bead seated. Works for lawn tractor tires, dolly tires, and other small softer tires.

For bigger tires, harder tires, I have this little can of starter fluid.....Careful now, just a quick spray....stand back....toss a match at it....voila! Tire bead seated! That way is a lot more exciting.
