We have generally succeeded in getting the tubeless tires back on the
rims even without an air compressor. The trick seems to be to remove
the tire from the tractor and have one person pump with an ordinary
hand tire pump while another tries to get the tire to seal in the
places that the air is leaking out. Pushing on the tread to widen the
space between the edges of the rubber seems to help.
