Lock Ring Wheel Advice

[M92PV4U]

I'm going to start working on changing these tires right now, I have no cage. Would it be better to changing these on the fork lift or remove them?

Dont you have like a bajillion feet of pipe laying around? weld up a cage real quick.

50 yards with a large caliber not an option? I'd let the air out while on the lift. Then change tire, reinstall and fill from a distance? Although it looks like it's still holding air so why fuck with it?

 

[Boss]

Video of the task please.

Remove them and wrap chain trough the center of the rim and over the tire. Bolt the chain together before inflating. Do Not lay flat.

Dibs on your stuff!

Use a clip on chuck and don't stand in front of it when you air it up.

Basically just don't act like some dumbass working in a tire shop circa 1970 and you'll be fine.

Sometimes it's just better to just pay a shop

That's a weird fucking fork lift. I've never seen one with a sprung axle, beyond some shit that was cobbled together out of old trucks 80yr ago.

I'm guessing it's 80 years old and a hyster.

Gonna swap out those nasty rusty wheels while you're at it ?

At least blast the wheels and paint them, or maybe its safer to keep them as they are with the rust holding everything together.

Looks like a

It appears none get your stuff Lol

Just lay the wheels down under your forks and use a clip on chuck. Instant tire cage.

I've done a few sets of these like that, didn't die.

Old school split lock ring shit like 99.99% of heavy machinery uses is super hard to fuck up.

The problems are all those 1940s-60s "we're gonna try and improve on shit that already worked to maybe save a little bit of material or labor" designs for OTR trucks.

Cleaning them up now, then I will assemble them.

In the pictures it doesn't look fully seated, but it is. It's just a trick on your eyes because we wire wheeled the rim and ring so you are seeing clean rim, not gap.

 

[Grnd93]

I would try everything in my power not to reuse that. The ring is fucked

Too late. That is the worst one, it is in the picture above.
