Tires water out of rear tires

[fotoman]

I just went to fill my rear tires of my ck25 and found water in them i bought this tractor used so no idea about someone putting water in them how can I remove the water in them i also have a backhoe on it as well could i use the legs to jack the rear tires to drain or use a shop vac to suck the water out thru the stem

The tires were most likely loaded for additional traction. Here's a recent discussion.

Jack the tractor (jackstands under the axle), pull the valve cores and rotate the valve stems to 6 O'Clock. Let it set...it's going to take a while.
However, there's no way to vent those tires unless you break the bead.

Well,now since you're into it,you need to get them refilled with something that won't freeze,really helps in several ways.

i was draining the tires to get the water out since i have a backhoe for weight why would i refill the tires

I almost hate to tell you this, and I have never done it. but You-tube is full of how to reseat the bead on tires. it involves a small squirt of wd-40 and light it from a distance.. POP/Bang, it is reseated.. in 2 seconds total time.Then air it up. I am sure if you put too much wd-40 in, you are in danger of losing your head or something else important. Use at your own risk.

Well,if you're going to leave the backhoe on...all the time,,maybe you won't need to worry,,,but loaded tires also help side stability,,say you're on a little sideways type slope moving,you move your boom maybe in downhill direction,that uphill loaded tire might be nice,,,there,thats two reasons.

You're sure it was pure water and not calcium chloride/water?

The reason I ask is I have seen people inquire how to tell the difference.
