Depends on the age of the machine, and they're barstewards to do when they get older anyway.I thought JCB front wheels were usually split rims? You remove the collar to remove the tyre?
They are but this isn’t a JCB.I thought JCB front wheels were usually split rims? You remove the collar to remove the tyre?

@Greenbeast if your struggling better to take the wheel off and do it on some clean concrete,also clean the tyre,nothing worse than a stone in the mud to puncture it again.
How on earth is there enough give in this 40 year old rubber to go any further?
Lubrication,lots of of it ,on rim and tyre ,push tyre ito the center ,smaller bars a lttle bit at a time ,much easier off and on the concrete
This is tyre going back on, same as @milkloss, the only way I stop it moving as it is is the drop the whole machine a few inches. If it was loose on the ground I have no idea how I'd steady it.
I will have another go tomorrow by moving the tyre into the rim as suggest early on,
If you had the wheel off and washed clean you could lye it on the floor and use your feet too push the part of tyre shown by the green arrows down where the groove is for more room and lever the tyre on at same timeyou need to push the bead that still on the rim more to the centre, as the centre diameter ios smaller you get more bead to play with,
its a rights sh!t hole there get it off on some clean floor.
