Thats a good idea. I've helped do that with chains and load binders on BIG tires that didn't want to seat against the rim.
Myself, I use inner tubes on anything that is not an automobile.

Can't get the dang things to seal to take air. I've contemplated using the ether and fire technique. Anyone against it? I usually try to stay away from explosive (literally) solutions, but everything I have watched on youtube and read about online appears to work great. Of course I will be safe and keep a distance. Thoughts?

:Poof:

I wouldnt try that with ether but Ronsonal lighter fluid works very well.

I tried the ratchet strap technique, but I didn't put soap or anything on the rim. I imagine that would have helped. I'll give that a try tonight prior to doing the big bang method. haha.

Thank you sir. I'll look into that if the ratchet strap with soap doesn't work tonight. My wiring harness was delivered so I MAY have a running tractor prior to going to sleep tonight. *fingers crossed*

Alright. She's running... BUT, I have to start her up with a jump starter. She runs great when on the starter, but as soon as I take the jumpers off she dies. My battery is 100% crap. BUT shouldn't it continue to run on the generator? I'm assuming I've got a bad generator. Any other possibilities?

Tec Section Library- Tractors page 4 “S/G Charge Test “ is a great place to start!

Either starter/generator or voltage regulator.
If I had to hazard a guess, it’d be voltage regulator/wiring.
