How to seat the bead?

[fanman]

Hello all, i'm having a problem seating the bead on one of my tires. I recently got some 40" Ground Hawgs for cheap ($150), they have good tread and good rims. One of them was compleatly flat, and when I rolled it out of the truck the bead broke from the rim as it hit the ground. I tried to seat the bead with my compressor isn't powerfull enough (I even tried putting a ratchet strap around the tire and sinching it down to get the beads to the out side of the rim). I also tried the ether trick, but that just resulted in me catching myself and the tire on fire. Any suggestions on how to get this tire inflated...without having to pay someone? I know it would not cost that much, but I'm cheap. Thanks
