I was so excited this evening. I had it all planned out. This tire loading with windshield washer fluid was going to be easy. I got my 48 gallons of 75cent Wallymart washer fluid, a slick little adapter that hooks up to the valve stem with a relief valve and hose adapter and my drill pump all set up. I pump in the first couple of gallons with a couple of minor leaks at my connections which I tightened and things looked good. There was a little washer fluid on the floor from that, but it seemed to keep growing. Finally I crawled under the tractor and looked..... the fluid was pouring out of the inner seal. Evidently when I released the air from the tire the bead unseated. It won't hold pressure now at all, air or fluid. Any suggestions? My thought is to take both wheels in to the local tire shop and get tubes installed. I was hoping I wouldn't have to, but in this case it might be best. Anybody else have this problem?
