Rear tires both of them. Can this be done from the outside or do you need to break the bead and put it on from inside the wheel? And if you did not notice the tires are loaded.

Jack up tire then rotate tire valve stem to 12 o'clock. Remove valve core if fluid comes out tires were probably overfilled anyway because they're only supposed to be filled to 75%. Back when I was employed by a dealer I added fluid to many/many tractor tires. Easy peezy.

Hey Mow,
A few weeks ago I went out to pick up leaves and noticed rear tires looked low. They are loaded with rim guard. I get the valve stem to 12 o clock position. Go to grab the cap to remove ever so lightly and next thing I know I am being sprayed head to toe by rim guard. So I plug the the stem with my finger while trying to decided what to do. The metal core had just came right out of the rubber part. So either I could take the loaded wheel off and try to get it to dealer 30 miles away to repair or have a expensive service call. After looking around online I came across Haltec quick stems. Figured what did I have to lose and ordered two off amazon. Once they showed up my dad came over to help. I pushed it in then tapped it lightly with a hammer to make sure it was seated. Had to have my dad hold the stem with pliers while I tightened the nut down. Aired it up and picked up leaves three separate times no air leaks or rim guard leaks. They are a little pricey but well worth it in my opinion. These are all metal so hopefully I won稚 have that problem again.

Tires are filled correctly it is the valve stem cores that are corroded and stopped working. I have new cores to try tomorrow if I can get the old ones to unscrew.

May I please ask how you have determined that the rear tires on your tractor are filled correctly??? Did dealer fill them?

Yes, the dealer filled them when I bought it brand new. Whenever I have checked air I always put the Valve stem at 12 oclock with no leakage.
Do you not trust your dealer? ;o)
