What's the problem?
Put The. Bead. In. The.Well.

Same as every other tyre to rim install.
It is the small size that is giving me fits. Didn't make it to the co-op before they closed. Will try it again tonight. Co-op tomorrow if I am unsuccessful.

So you are using Brave as your main web browser Larry?
Yes, almost all the time. I have a few things that need chrome, or edge for work. Occasionally I have to use Firefox for some old software with outdated tls certs. Brave has no ads somehow.

Glad the owner didn't clip his ears or crop his tail as some do with a mastiff breed. The want to give that Jack Lambert intimidation look. That your dog Ryan? That somebish is blocky.
Tim, I'm having a fughin fit trying to stop a hydraulic leak on my old JD2640. Looks like it should take a square cut oring, but even that doesn't stop it. I've tried everything and am out of ideas.

Where’s it leaking from?

Pro Tip.
Secure a spindle of some sort in your vice to drop the rim on and hold it somewhat in place.

I can't say for sure Randy, unless I could see the counter bore in the valve for the fitting, and the seal area on the fitting behind the hex. But when you say it looks like it should take a square cut or D style o ring leads me to believe it may need what they call a dowty seal washer. It is a super heavy square cut washer with a bonded lip seal on the id of the washer.
Edit: Especially when I see the circular counter bore on the valve. So if it is tapered cut behind that for a round oring than all you need is a back up washer on the fitting behind the hex. Those normally don't fall off as they are almost spun on by hand over the fitting threads.

I think a trip to the John Deere parts department is in order.

The picture shows the seal being pushed out by pressure behind the hex, or is that Stihl sealant? Do you have any pics of it apart?
That's a little Dirko. I think I'll get a set of dowdy washers and try that with an oring under it.

I got them on. Thank God I didn't need to put in tubes. Put the bottom bead on the rim, used the edge of the fel bucket to hold the rim on the ground about a third of the way across. Used my tire irons to get them the rest of the way. I like the way you think Adam. I guess I achieved what you said in a different way.
