Well, in theory everything should work but it don't :) Rims all painted, all the rusty areas sandblasted, primed, epoxy filled, primed and painted, gallon of Murphy's paste lube concentrate, put about a quart total on the tire beads, all the rim seating and slipping areas, new onion ring, new but wrong fu%^*ng valve stem, JD parts shows the small kubota sized stem, not the monster loader size. The paper parts book has the part number for the big bore valve stem.
So glop everything up, use the forks to coax the tire onto the rim, slide on all the other parts, o-ring and lock ring, *got the lock rings sandblasted and painted too* put everything on and hit it with the compressor. The tire starts to shift on the beads and then the air leakage equals the air input and end of show. I'd figure one of those cig lighter plug in compressors should do the job, it shows a tractor on the box.
Actually its a little 2hp shop compressor with a 20 gal tank, not anywheres near enough to do the job. I'll have the road service guys come out replace the valve stems and mount the other two tires. Have the clip on chuck for big and small bore, 10' hose gauge and valve, just not enough wind in the sails to get over the hump.
A question on the o-ring, its a fair bit smaller than the groove, I'm thinking its supposed to get jacked in place by the pressure, it only sits maybe 1/32 above the diameter of the rim. Again, that's the part number JD called for. A fatter ring would make sealing a bit better but maybe its's correct.
