If you just want to add antifreeze why do you need all of the water out? Why not just remove as much water as you plan on putting in antifreeze.

I agree with this since the OP explains why he is trying to get the water out, that wasn't clear in the first post.
They are not tubed and are just filled with water. I have to either empty or add some antifreeze to them now that the tractor is back up here (Indiana).
Last night I drained the majority of the water through the valve stem but I couldnt get what was below the stem.
I have thought about using a small tube to siphon most of it out and have kicked around the idea of drilling a hole. These tires arent in the best shape anyway and I could probably just drill through one of the repair plugs that are in it already. Anyone tried that route?
I have also never fooled around with taking the valve stem off the rim and I'm not sure how those are put together. These are metal. If I unscrew them is there something that will fall back inside the tire?
You could find one close, somewhat stiff, and then wrap electrical tape to shim it. You want as little air leak as possible so you dont have to air it too many times.Thanks for the suggestions!
I will probably look for a small tube that will fit down into the bottom of the tire through the valve stem like someone mentioned earlier. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not even sure what the diameter inside the valve stem is.
Thanks again
