Stupid Green Tractor! Everything on the farm is broken!

What happens here

Start the TYM tractor and use its front loader forks to lift the front tires off the ground. Visually inspect the tires. Note that both front tires have come off the rim due to cold weather or being driven while flat. Prepare a solution of soapy water in a spray bottle. Spray the tire bead and rim seal with soapy water to identify air leaks (look for bubbles). Re-seat the tire bead by applying pressure, or by pushing the tire against the rim while adding air. Fill the tire with air using the DeWalt pancake air compressor until the tire is properly inflated and the leak is sealed. Repeat the process for the second flat tire. After both tires are re-inflated, lower the tractor and move it out of the way.

Goal: This step involves lifting the front of the TYM tractor using its front loader, inspecting the flat tires for leaks, resealing them using soapy water and an air compressor, and then moving the tractor.
