Oops, I forgot about the tires! Yes, those would be tubes in the
tires. They do have a little nut on the valve stem to hold it in
place. The old ones were metal, the newer were plastic. It"s only
been more recently that they have been putting tubless tires on
modern tractors, and they even put solution in those, which
goes right on the rim! However, you"d never put a tubless tire on
an old tractor rim meant for tubes, especially if there"s any rust
on the bead area. A new tube will probably cost $25- $40. The
easiest way to change it is to hire the tire guys to come out to
the farm with the tire truck to pump the fluid and change the
tube. You can do it yourself, but you need a few special tools
and a little bit of know how and skill- except for pumping out
the old fluid. You still need someone with the right stuff for that.
My tire guy recommends 18 psi in rears and the ag magazines
recommend 10-14 psi to reduce soil compaction and increase
traction. I would tend to go with Hugh and use 14- 16 psi.
