Mounting a large earth mover tyre with fire

YouTube description:

Dad and I changed out 3 tires on the Clark 290M Earth Mover that were slick. Usually to get the tire to seat on the rim and hold air we have to pack grease/tire soap on the rim until it pushes out and seals. We decided to try a new way that we use on some of the smaller tires around the farm. This has to be the largest Tire I have ever seen this done on and we were not sure it would work. Of course I had to have it on video! It takes lots of fluid to expand the tire properly. The Tire is a 29- 5- 29. I believe and it either weighs 2,000lbs or around 1,300lbs. The numbers are sketchy. I said 2,000 in the video because that is what the guy told us when we bought them. It is huge, that is all I know, I am 6 feet tall for a reference. Enjoy and thanks for watching! Weston
