Filling your tires with fluid

Recommended Posts

After searching for the easiest/best way to fill my tires, I combined a few and added something of my own. Perhaps someone has already done this....

I figured it's just like basic plumbing, fluid can't go in if air can't escape. The most major complaint I read seemed to be the agonizing time it took to fill the tires waiting for the air to bubble past the incoming fluid.

So what I did was when I removed the old tires I drilled and extra hole in the rim for a second valve stem, one to add fluid and the second to vent the air. I did this on 2 tractors, on one I put the second valve stem right beside the first and the other I put it 180 opposite, I liked the one directly beside best but they both did the job just fine. I used a basic fluid transfer pump and RV antifreeze. I slipped on side of the pump's tubing OVER the valve stem and pumped away, gallon after gallon, until the fluid came out of the "vent" valve stem, replaced both cores and called it a day.
