I just don't drink anything with alcohol in it when I work or drive so not very good with the advice there. I do sure enjoy a Jenney lite from time to time. Our local beer.

Can't say no to some fine Hunter Valley Reds , or Heathcote Reds or Pokolben Reds, after clean up

As for the tyre change. I find it easier to do one side on the ground, on top of the old tyre and the other on the mower as there is one less thing to wiggle around.

I use a breezer tyre tool with a big mallet, and I am talking 3 pounds here.
FWIW a Breezer looks like this

The edge of the rim goes in the groove and you hod it 90 deg to the wheel and smack it around the rim to install the tyre.
To remove you hold it as flat against the rim as you can and smack it.
Dumpy hammers, large deadblow hammers or big mallets work best.
This is designed to do tubeless tyres on motorcycle alloy rims so i will be making some modified ones for mower tyres ( shallower, thinner grove).
