Austin at Marathon Industries demonstrates
the tire basics so that you can keep your equipment rolling! Whether
you need to change a bearing or a tube, get a measurement or install
a new tire, Austin will walk you through the easiest (and most efficient!)
step-by-step procedure so that you can be on your way!
Tire Terminology
What's the difference between a rim
and a hub? A tire and a wheel? A bearing and a grease zerk? Tire-Lingo
can be confusing and make a seemingly simple task such as replacing
a wheelbarrow tire, seem like a burden. In this video, Austin identifies
the different parts of a tire so you can speak like a pro and find
the exact tire you need.
How To Measure a Tire
Looking for a replacement tire? You've
probably been asked questions such as "What's your hub length?",
"What's the bearing size", "Are you replacing the tire, rim, or
both?" What do these things mean?! Austin at Marathon Industries
has the answers! In order to replace a tire, you will need to get
proper measurements of your old tire. In this video, Austin identifies
the four main tire measurements needed and how to accurately get
them. You will need the width of the tire, the diameter of the tire,
the hub length, and the bearing size. With these four measurements
on hand, you can find the perfect replacement tire for your equipment!
All bearings eventually wear down
over time and at some point, may need to be replaced. Should you
need to replace a bearing or swap one out for a different bearing
size, Austin will give you the "How To" so you can change out your
tire bearings efficiently. Please note that Austin uses a screwdriver to remove the bearings because that is a common household tool. Screwdrivers are not intended as “striking” tools and a steel rod or other strong metal rod may be more effective. Use a screwdriver at your own risk.
