fixing flats on bronco

[Pa PITT]

ok had a flat on one tire on my Bronco that I have a tube in this tire. I'd ruined one tire & since I DON'T GET OFF THE FARM with my Bronco. I could but I just don't. So I'm running a turd tire until I find a good tire or buy myself a new set ..
.... But I've miss placed my tire tool .. The long bar that you put the tire on & off the rim with.. Does anyone have a bar that you can take a picture off .. I need a picture of the end that's opposite the Ball end. It's the end with a curve up & one down . I have a hand operated tire machine.
.. I was thinking I could make myself a new bar. or buy one off ebay.

Harbor Freight sales them if you have one close. I've never used one but my buddy use's one with his manual machine. I think he has a couple, and not because he broke one either. They're cheap enough to have a spare.

Do you need to remove the tire? Just get a plug kit. If the hole is big, just use more plugs. Ah, wait you have a tube in the tire? Just how old is that tire?

our nearest harbor freights are 70 & 95 miles away... I've seen that one at Harbor before. & was planning on buying it if I can get to a harbor.

... I did find some on E-Bay but would like a more close up shot of that hook. I'd kind of like to have one of the Coats ones that fits over the center stud. But cut it off & weld the cut off back onto a joint of pipe .

OK I found my tire tool. I was in the back of my Bronco . Wow guess I needed a longer persuader .. pry-bar.
.. So here's a couple of pictures of it .. But do any of your have one that works better than mine. This one will slide off the the tire to easy.
.. These 2 curves are for one too push the bottom rim onto the tire while the top curve rides against the top rubber rim to the tire .. It's supposed to help push the tire over the rim.. But to me it needs to be longer in order to keep a better grip on the top rim giving me more push ..
.. Any of you guys modify any of yours.
..........
... OK in that 2nd picture .. the top hook is the one that pushes the tire over the rim.. & the bottom bump is the one I don't think is long enough...
... Also the original one fit through that slot in the center post . I'd love to have one that would fit back in the slot. That slot spins around the machine ..
