He Built Tire Turner For $30 TIRES/WHEELS Miscellaneous 19-1-8 Fred Marolf of Motley, Minn., has turned more than 600 tractor tires inside out using a home-built tire turner he built for less than $30.
Inside-out tires make good cattle and hog feeders since there's no longer any place for feed or water to hide.
Marolf cut a used 38-in. tractor rim in half and fitted it with three steel pull cables. He made hold-down hooks out of a wooden wagon wheel. He cuts off the top bead and then pulls the tractor rim up through the tire using a winch mountd on the back of his home-built 4-WD tractor. The tire is held to the ground by the hold-down hooks that are anchored to the ground.
"I'm able to turn tires ranging from 26 to 38 in. dia. with the one wheel rim," says Marolf.
