What happens here

To begin the tire replacement, use a jack to lift the rear of the Ventrac tractor off the ground and secure it with jack stands for safety. Use an impact driver with the correct size socket to remove all lug nuts from one of the existing ag tires. Once the lug nuts are off, carefully remove the old ag tire. If present, remove any wheel spacers that were used with the old tires, as the new turf tires may not require them. Mount the new turf tire onto the axle, ensuring it's properly seated. Hand-tighten the lug nuts, then lower the tractor from the jack stands and use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specified torque. Repeat this process for the other rear tire.

Goal: Swap ag tires for turf tires on the rear axle
