Stopped by Don Beckwith's house to see what project he was into this week. He discovered a crack on winter wheels. So he did what any other 84 year old truck mechanic would do. He took the tire off the rim. In his garage, with bare hands, a hammer and crowbar. And he'll remount it himself as soon as his old time skilled welder friend fixes the crack for him. So all you young guys who can't find a tire shop to remove or mount tires on these Budd lock ring wheels, the do it yourself in the field technique is always an option.
