The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Big Bolt spare tire

I didn't find anything in a search for big bolt spare, 22.5" tire/wheel combo is too heavy for me to lift into the rack. Original carrier hangs from the frame rails behind the rear axle, large wing nuts to snug the tire against the frame. How in the world did they manhandle the tire up into the rack, I think it takes two men and a boy. I'm working on a winch to lift it but it's still gonna' be a bear to position the tire in the front rack and swing the rear rack under, anyone with experience on this set-up?
