mounting tires

[roklogan]

im new on this site and learning , need to know if anyone has any tips for getting the 14.5 r20 tire compressed enough to get the lock ring in place on stock deuce rims ??????

Using a forklift or tractor with forks on it might put enough downward pressure in the tire to get the ring locked into place. We used to do it when mounting new NDT's that didn't want to mash down enough.

I have mounted deuce tires in the field when I was in the Army.I would drive up on the tire with the front wheel to compress it enough to get the ring seated.There are a lot of ways to skin that cat,

Stop trying!.... and start looking for M35A3 wheels. Or any other MPT style wheel, 20x11" size.
You want to learn, search for MPT wheels and/or MPT tires...

put the rim on a bucket to let the tire sag

here's a great thread that recently opened up on that very subject: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/69041-mounting-tires.html
read the thread thoroughly, I don't think you'll go wrong with it.
Good luck!

More than knowing what "can" be done you should know (or learn) what should or should not be done. I already responded to your other thread: you should NOT mount the 14.5 on a Deuce rim, for your own and others safety!

And also, you should NOT "Cross-post multiple posts or threads about the same topic." It's against the rules... sorry.
