loading tires

[HCJtractor]

Ive done it two ways. Cheapest is to buy a little 12v pump from Northern, valve/hose adapter from Gemplers or TSC. Mix whatever fluid in a big trash can and using a stiff intake hose, pump it with the pump. Pretty simple. I have also used a gas Honda pump but the little 12 V works great and is a handy pump to have around. Of course have tractor on a jack stand and release the pressure with the adapter release button as you go. You may pop a bead. Mine had tubes so no problem.

I just did the tires in my 8n last month and all I used was a fullen hooked to a short hose then hooked to tire filling fitting. It took me about an hour per tireto put 30 gallons in each tire. Just keep releasing the presure.

Wingfan, Hope this is not to stupid a question, but what is a fullen?


HCJ tractor, I thought about doing that and may still.

The drill pump is working, very slow, probably will take atleast 2 to 2.5+hrs per tire{50gal of fluid each}. I do about 3 gal at a time then release the pressure and start again. These new drill pumps are not like the one I owned 20+yrs ago. That old pump would move way more fluid then these new ones.

I think diamondpilot had the best and quickest idea if you have one of those 25 gal 12 volt sprayers.

Okay I wasn't sure if there was some sort of new style pump I had not seen

Yep, works great. Used it for a couple different tractors and the good thing is if you do it in the fall it winterizes the pump for the winter layup.

Diamondpilot is one smart cookie


I have a 15 gallon plastic jug, enclosed, I may try and see if I can't make some sort of tank out of that, then just hook the garden hose to that and slowly force pressure into it.

Not sure about that. I tell the old lady every day but she just gives me that look and walks out of the room.:laughing:

You start with putting a jack under your tractor to regulate the amount of crush you get on the tire. Lower the jack till you have a good compression on the side wall but not so much that you break the bead. Hook up a flexible hose the tire valve stem and place the other end into the container with the fluid to be placed in the tire (antifreeze or washer fluid etc.) then jack the tractor back up. This wil cause a vacuum in the tire and will suck the liquid into the tire. Repeat till you have the tire filled. The valve stem should be at the top of the tire for this operation. This only requires a length of hose that will fit tightly to the valve stem.
