Snowthrower tubeless tires have gone flat!!

Please help. I am a new homeowner with a new problem for me. After storing my snowthrower for the winter the tubeless tires have gone flat and come partially off the rim. I cannot figure out how to seat them back so that they will hold air. I've tried oiling the bead and pulling a roap tightly aroung the circumferance of the tire, close but no cigar. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Tommorrow is the second heavy snowfall and I am late in getting this problem resolved. Sears wants to send the machine one state away to fix it, but I told them that it's snowing here!! My driveway is 100' long and I also have 36' plus of walkways.

Only thing I can suggest is...Take them to a local lawnmower repair shop. They can re-inflate them for you. You might also want to consider putting tubes in them. If they go flat next year, you can just re-inflate them. Jake...
That's my story...and I'm stickin' to it..

I switched the roap for an extensioncord and walla it went back on the rim. I will block up over summer from now on.

thanks for info about using an extention cord. I used one of those self ratcheting nylon strap downs and was able to do it myself. i just put the nylon strap around the center of the tire and ratched it snug and put the air in.
