I just joined. I have 3 Power Kings. They are all 1416's or 1614's. (I can never remember what order that goes in). 14 h.p. 16" rears.
First is the grandfather of my collection appropriately because he's the oldest and most mature. Serial # 23530 a 1971
14 h.p. K-321 Kohler, single 3 spd. trans., manual p.t.o., slide-in drawbar, 48" 3-spindle finish mower, 16"X8" tires in the rear,
This tractor was purchased new in 1971 by my Dad and is nearly original. Rubber, paint, engine, trans, rear-end, mower deck, all are as was in 1971. Tractor needs paint to look good, one rear rim is about shot, the other is suprisingly good. This tractor is get on ready to mow. No hydraulic, no headlights. Rear tires are both filled with cal-chlor.
Next is Serial # 47839, a 1978, 1614, K-321, single trans, manual lift, 3 point hitch, no implements. Runs excellent, tires are weathered, but lots of tread.
Finally is serial # 29231, 38030 a combination of a 1973 and 1976 put together by Pete Roman. It is the 1614, K-321, single trans., full 3-way hydraulic, front-end loader with dual cylinders for both lifting and bucket tilt, 3 pont hitch, 4' blade, tires are very recent and excellent, wheel weights in rear, tire chains, paint and overall condition very good.
So ,any way, I'm up @ 3:30 am thinking about how to pull the calcium-chloride out of all my loaded tires and replace it with rim guard or washer fluid. I'd like to know if I can fill a portable air pressure tank with the fluid and just pressure it in. I think I may have to relieve the pressure in the tires occassionally to not over pressure them before the fluid is up to the top of the rim mark. Does anybody know how to do this to tubeless tires? Is it done the same way as tubed? Would I be experimenting on my own if I tried to treat my original Economy wheels as if they are tubeless?
Thanks for reading.
