New Holland TC29D
The recent discussions of filling tires got me to looking at my tires. I am relatively new to tractors, and never checked the pressure in the rear tires on my TC29D. They are turned so the valve is inward, and they don't have the valve stem sticking out that I would expect. Do they have the traditional Schrader valves, how do you check the pressure, and how do you add air? Thanks.

Yes, traditional Shrader valves. If your tires are loaded, you'll find out with what when it squirts out. The stems are safer in there, but inconvenient.

Sorry no, the two headed gauge wouldn't help. The valve doesn't stick out at all, there is a rubber piece that sticks out maybe 1/4 inch from the rim with just a 1/4 inch hole showing. No brass threaded piece sticking out.

This sounds like another EPA better idea. I've gotta see this. Is there any way you can prop a mirror in there and take a picture of this new earth planet saving device?

I know your rims are different on the TC29D because they are fixed (non-adjustable). However, I'd expect a valve stem to look like the one on my TC45D. Here's a picture of mine. I added the blue metal tips to replace the rubber one that was OEM, but otherwise this a factory stem.
