Abstract: A Tire Working Apparatus and Method of Use for facilitating the mounting of a tractor tire onto a wheel while the wheel is in a vertical or mounted positioned. The tire working apparatus includes a tire iron for selectively working a bead of a tire adjacent to a rim flange of a wheel, a rotating member selectively receiving said tire iron, and a ratchet wrench. The rotating member further comprises a main cylindrical wall, which includes a lateral aperture positioned substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said rotating member and selectively receives the tire iron. The rotating member generally has a socket positioned at one end for receiving the square drive of the ratchet wrench.
