Tires Water/anitfrz in tires

[Don87]

Would someone be kind enough to tell me HOW you put water/anitfrz in tires? I just bought a Kubota with Left tire full of ?water? and right tire empty. Think I'd better add antifreeze to left and put all new fluid in right......but HOW? Is there an adapter for a hose or a pump gizmo? thanks

First question is, are you sure it's water? Do a taste to see if is calcium chloride(salt).

You could put it in like I added my one gal of antifreeze. I took a short piece of garden hose and connected it to the adapter and put a funnel in the other end and poured it in. It takes a while no matter which method you use but just do a gallon here and there till it's done.

Yep, that is how I did mine, too. Just stopped by every now and then, burped the tire by kicking it and added more antifreeze to the funnel. Doesn't take all that long, if you don't just sit and watch it.

I don't want our turf tires filled to save the lawn, but will be filling the Ag tires when they come off in the next week or two.

My plan is to use our 35 gallon plastic barrel and mix RV antifreeze with water to get close to a 10*F freeze point. Then I will break the bead on the valve stem side of the rim and pour the mixture into the tire. When fluid flows from the schrader valve, it's full - laying flat. Then I can top off with air to about 6psi or so.

I've not done this yet, but a guy I trust swears it will be the cheapest and easiest way for me.

I've got an old RV 12v water pump that I used to fill mine. Ran it off the tractor battery. Didn't take long but I started her up to recharge between tires. (actually I turned the tractor around so I could stand in the garage out of the rain. My tractor won't fit in.)

I filled my tires the same way ModMech is diong his. The only problem with filling them laying down is getting them stood back up if you have large rear tires. Sure is a fast way to fill them though.

[I]I'm kinda embarrassed....I haven't taken the tractor up to the property yet and was planning on doing this up there. I guess after I eyedrop this fluid I need to air it up, huh? "ah don't got no air":ashamed:[/I] OK, it's now at a cousins place in Florida who has water and air....guess I need to do it BEFORE I drag it to Va. I did go to NAPA and get the adapter and I ordered a "barrel pump" to fit on/in my 55 gal barrel to mix and pump the stuff in. I'll just have to stay an extra day in Fl. to deal with this. Thanks for the wake up call.
