I am looking to add weight to my JD G for plowing. Don't want to use calcium chloride, thinking of using window washer -20 fluid. Has anyone done this? What type of pump is needed, and how to go about this? Thanks, Mark.

mine are full of WW fluid, works fine, the coop has it by the drum.

Here they are using an alcohol for that purpose.

Darn waste of alcohol.

I think that is the ingredient in WW fluid that keeps it from freezing.

I used Citrastar 50 in my 420U tires when I put new ones on several years ago. The local Firestone dealer recommended it and I have been very happy.

I loaded the 16.9's on my 60 pulling tractor w/ WW fluid. I only added about 350 lbs to avoid having to throw so many weights to get to 7500lbs. I used a submersible pump from Northern Tool in a five gallon bucket, just kept pouring in the fluid as the level in the bucket dropped. I also used an adapter from Tractor supply that threaded on the valve stem and incorporates a bleeder. If you put a shutoff valve in front of it, you can bleed off the air pressure occasionally as you add the fluid. I couldn't find WW fluid in bulk, had to by gallons.
