Always use the proper tools
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.

I put the tires/rims on the cement floor,stand on tires @ the rim, with the heals of my work boots and put the tire iron between my heals and hit it with an #8 sledge with one hand while holding the bar with my other hand.
about 2 hits in 3 different positions around the rim and it is broken down, flip rim & repeat. Then use the long handled spoons to remove the tire from the rim. Easy peasy, been doing it that way for 65 years. tire soap helps for the rusted ones.

Well that's thinking out of the box for sure! I once had a steering wheel off a NF that got bent and used the lathe to straighten it. Slipped it on a mandrel and just pushed against the "high spot".
Small tires can be a pain. I bought a Harbor Freight tire changer a while back and it works great for breaking beads. Don't know how well it works on tires that small though. You want some real fun, change the tires on a pedal tractor--you have to boil them.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
