Hi All

I'm very new to this "heavy equipment thing" I just bought a 82 580 super e to work around my house. Well so far I have some issues, new one today is my rear tire has a lot of air coming out around the valve stem @ the rim? are these tires tubless or tubed?

Thanks in advance.

I think this forum will be visited alot by me for abit.:notworthy

Ok so I found out it has a tube! now do you guys think I might be able to remove the tube at home? maybe break the bead with the front loader? Oh yeah what is the proper tire pressure?

I've changed them using the loader bucket to break the bead. I think I used a couple of 4x4's on either side, close to the rim. I remember having to put the hoe down and push to get more weight up front. Run just enough air to keep the tire from bulging out, I think around 25, just a common sense thing. I had an E with radials on it once, that's a little different. Phil:)
