You're telling me! I stood a cinder block on end and was litterally jumping on it. In the end I propped the one side up on a jack stand and just stomped on it until it came free.
Can't just retube that

Not so bad, just need to clean up the inside a bit to be smooth.

Did you use really old metal?

Yes I did. About 10 years ago I found some steel sheets in the back field. just laying there, completely grown over. No idea how long they'd been there. I hit them with the wire wheel and cleaned them up and have used them for various projects. They're a bit thicker than 1/4".

20 years or so ago I bought a manual tire changer from Homier/Harbor Freight. I made a bracket so it slipped into a receiver hitch as I didn't want to give up the floorspace permanently. That tool has paid for itself probably more times than any other tool that I own.

The old bumper jacks worked great for this.

I also made a receiver mount for my HF tire remover. I think eventually the wheel bolt hole pin broke, and I still need to repair it.
I did use it at least once on the road when I got a flat trailer tire, and discovered the spare tire rim had gone bad and wasn't holding air. Other times I could have used it, but didn't have it built yet.
I now have a shop tire changer which is much nicer to use.

You "wrassled" the old tire off of there "by hand"?? Did you cut it off? Wasn't that a heavy-ply implement tire?
Can't tell what size that rim is, but I've found them on Marketplace (sometimes with usable tires on them) for $20 - $50. You've already got $200 worth of sweat into this one. And using old metal to match the finish shows maximum attention to detail!
