I'm thinking about adding fluid to rear tires. I have a 4200 with 14.00-17.5 R4 tires. From searching the forums this sounds like a do it yourself job. I only have two questions.
Which is best washer fluid or RV anti-freeze? Also my tires are mounted with the valve stems on the inside. Is there a reason for this or should I rotate the tires to get the valve stems on the outside to make filling them a little easier? Any suggestions much appreciated.

/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gifI used wwaf in my 4300 a coupla years back. No problems to minus 35C. Its not as heavy as calcium but a lot simpler. Also a lot cheaper than RV af. I also have my valves on the inside as this gives me an extra inch of clearance when I add the chains, plus a bit wider stance on the sidehills. Have to remove the tires to add the antifreeze though. Not a big job if you have some means of getting them back up should they fall over. Good luck Pat

Without an implement on the back of my tractor, I had no trouble putting the water in my tires with the valve stems on the inside.
