Working on a way to load tires with washer fluid.

[Camo]

I'm looking for an easy way to load my tires with washer fluid. Any ideas?

There are kits for that to simplify the process

Where at?

yes just go to TSC and get the fluid fill adapter for about $10 or $12.

do a search on TBN for threads on this subject and also for links to tire capacity.

if you have a utility pump that makes it easy. Jack tractor up one side at atime, rotate tire to put stem at top,remove valve stem core attach adapter , hook up garden hoses, put WWF in a bucket (elevate if possible , will pump faster), pump in till won't take any more. DO NOT try and fill above the valve stem at top, you need space for air to provide a cushion for flexibilty and better ride.

be sure to air up to about 20=25 psi , then reduce pressure to desired, most ag tires will be in the 10-15psi range and R-4s will be 12 -20 psi. your manual will have a chart. you should have 90% of tread contact showing when driving across a smooth surface with your average load on the tractor to get best ride,traction and wear.

be sure to buy winter WWF with freeze point at -20*F, (or your ride will be very rough in cold weather !!!!)

redneck style:

needed:

- empty oil drum
- air compressor
- adapter to connect air compressor to oil drum
- adapter to connect oil drum to tire filling hose (both at the same time)

steps:

1. put washer fluid in empty oil barrel
2. attach the above mentioned hoses, and make sure that the air hose from the compressor is higher than the exit to tire filling hose. also make sure that the fluid level of the washer fluid is above the attachment port for the tire filing hose.
3. attach the filling hose to the tire
4. start blowing a gentle bit of air into the oil drum. The pressure in the drum will force out the water into the tire, because the exit opening is below the washer fluid level.

Now dont be too hasty at step #4 as oil drums start to deform at about 1.5 atmospheric pressure. I havent been in the opportunity to discover at what pressure they burst.

And you don't ever want to be!

I used my 15 gallon pull behind sprayer that has a 12v pump on it, there is a garden hose connection and I bought the Milton tire adapter from the tractor supply, short piece of garden hose and fill tank with WW fluid and pumped the fluid in and every little bit I would stop and relieve all the pressure in the tire and continue pumping again.

Take count of how many gallons you use in the first tire so you don't have to empty too much back into the gallon containers.

i dont know which tires your oading but if not to big i have taken off and laid on ground stem up pull guts out of stem and take hose ( clear) and get a siphon goin works great just tape 1 end of hose to long bar or driver and put in jug i did this w/ fronts on tc40. if you see 1 jug runnin down pull out hose put finger over to keep vac goin and stick in next one. this is a little slow but you cabn drink beer in between !

Here is what I did to fill my Cub tractor tires.
23 x 10.50 x 12

I have a vacuum pump for A/C work.
used a piece of 3/8 clear line.
removed valve core.
laid tire on its side.
pulled a vacuum. (be careful not to pull bead off rim)
when I thought I had enough or all the tire would take.
I crimped the line from the vacuum pump and removed it.
I then placed the line in the bottle of RV antifreeze. ~$4.00/gal at the time.
I kept adding to the bottle with the hose until it would not take anymore.
this was as the fluid went or was drawn into the tire by vacuum until no more vacuum in the tire.
I knew from charts that I needed about 6 gallons per tire.
So I repeated the cycle a couple of times.

All done and very happy.

Another method would be similar to some already mentioned.
would be to use your garden sprayer for a pump system.
Burp extra air occasionally and refill garden sprayer.
