Should try letting some air out of the tires - that would give you better traction. Bring along a lil 12volt air pump to air em up for traveling.
I picked up one of those ' slime ' repair kits for under $15 years ago - it came with a small air compressor- its not enough to pop beads back on, but enough to put air in.

You can pop the beads back on using that compressor and a hand held sledge hammer. While you have the air going to the tire, hit the on the tread and usually you can get the bead to set.

ive tried that and they usually dont pump enough air fast enough to pop the bead back on. the only way ive had it work with those small compressors is to use a rathet strap and tightening it around the tire and... yah but they are nice to just have on the trails

Prancstaman I think I'm actually gonna rob the twin barrel intake and carb and snorkel set up I have on the 4x4 since this is an 18hp and the 4x4 is a 16hp
i got the 820 back together and locked i used an air fitting in the neutral safety switch hole for a vent tube because i forgot to thread and tap the hole in the rear of the case so i plugged that

Why as a matter of a fact Mathewd I do have an update she is coming along I got most everything painted it didn't turn out too bad for quick rub down with 60 grit and painting in 20 degree weather I'm not going for show finish I got this for my 12th birthday and have been beating the hell out of it ever since this year would be ten years and strong for it so I'm just trying to preserve it for as long as possible, I got the motor mounted and the new idler pulleys under her and she's coming along, I did find out that the drain plug area of the 18 hp had a piece missing out so I plugged it and jb welded it
I made new tranny supports out of some 1/4 inch angle
I also took some skate board bearings and made my Clutch have no play in it
