I'm new to the small tractor world and have purchased a used Hinomoto E25 to use for mowing. I have a slow leak in the left front tire and thought it would be easy for me to fix like one on a car. I thought it would be as easy as removing the lug nuts and removing the tire for repair but this does not appear to be the case because after removing the lug nuts I still cannot remove the tire. Is it necessary to pull the cotter pin and bearings to remove the rim fromn the axle? What am I missing short of loading it up and taking it to a shop?

Sounds like the wheel is rusted tight to the centering hole on the hub. A few good blows with a 3lb. hammer on the tire might break the rust bond. Ernie ....

Try loosening the lugs and driving a short distance - this has worked for me. ....
