ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Stiff inner tubes of the type normally used on military vehicles which are designed to run "flat" are inserted into tires using a bulky apparatus in a vehicle maintenance building. The standard tire changer already mounted on a truck or other military vehicle can readily be modified to include an inner tube insertion apparatus. The tire changer includes a base, a frame at one end of the base, a vertically movable carriage on the frame for holding the tire in a vertical position, and a horizontally slidable carriage mounted on tracks on the base for movement towards and away from the frame. The insertion apparatus includes a slide on an inclined ramp for carrying the inner tube into the tire, and a force transfer arm connecting the horizontal carriage to the slide so that movement of the horizontal carriage toward the frame is accompanied by forcing of the tube into the tire.
