Wheel installation tool

[Donystoy]

Recently fabricated up a tool to help my old body in removing and installing wheels on our vehicles and possibly the tractor if needed. Sorry it is not Kubota orange.

Thats pretty cool, how did you build it

That is one very cool tool. It is a great idea. As a side note, a motorcycle jack can also be used in a similar manner. Here is the one that I use.

Made from an implement jack that I altered, rollers and casters from Princess Auto up here. Used 1 1/2 square tubing and angle iron. The jack and roller frame are mounted to the lower castered frame via a 16” x 1” x 1” square vertical tubing welded to the outer castered frame. This 1” x 1” tubing cannot be seen as it is inside the jack with the jack screw inside it.

I have the same one I kept after selling my motorcycle.
Never thought about using it for wheels.

Nice!
Would be great to see a picture from the other side with the jack up.

These do very well without modification. They accept wide-range of wheel sizes…. and pumping the foot-pedal has the effect of elevating the wheel.

I use my motorcycle jack for several other uses besides just mounting the tractor tires. I also use it for jacking up the rear of my tractor to change the hydraulic fluid, or to jack up the front of the tractor to change the oil when my FEL happens to be off it. I also use it to jack up my Model T when working on it. I use it to jack up my travel trailer to grease the wheel bearings too. I even used it to jack up one of my sheds to put leveling blocks under it. There are many uses for that jack besides just for motorcycles. That motorcycle jack is not just a one trick pony.
