I just finished replacing a rear tire, manually, including draining and reloading the liquid ballast (calcium chloride solution). I prepared a writeup with photos on how I did it and posted that here for anyone interested. This particular tire was on my Oliver 77 but I've used the same methods before on my AC-B. Such methods are not brand-specific.

nice how-to on tire replacement.
i have found that if i cut the end off a length of garden hose it will clamp right over the larger part of the valve stem without a adapter. also, if you lower the jack and flatten the tire you will get more of the fluid out. i also inflate the tire with it flattened, using a adapter used for air mattresses that came with a 12 volt pump that i have. just stick it in the end of the hose and add a small amount of pressure. when i refill the tire i use a pump also, but allow the bucket to go dry and the tire will burp itself. i then add more solution to the bucket and fill some more. i use a small submersible sump pump placed in the bucket.

Bob,

Thanks for the great tip about lowering the tire to the ground in order to get more fluid out. I'll have to remember that for the next time. I take it you put air back in the tire at that point so that it bubbles up through the fluid and either 1) forces the remaining fluid out due to air pressure if you can't get the slope to gravity drain down all the way or 2) to assist and speed up a gravity drain? That would be a good idea too. In the past, I've also used gravity to fill a tire also but it is a slow process that requires a lot of intermittent air bleeding. I put a connection in the bottom of a 50 gal drum, raised it up in a bucket loader and ran a hose down from the drum to the rear tire. It's works that way if you have a means of getting the drum elevated above the top of the tire but a pump is much faster and preferred.

Yup, but those are the only two I have - the '42 AC-B and the '51 Oliver77. I am not into "collecting" or "restoring". I am not particularly brand conscious and I didn't chose either one because of brandname. My Dad bought the B new and it is a hand-me-down. I bought the Oliver (well used) because I wanted a heavier duty tractor with a front bucket - in addition to the B. I found a decent deal on it and it was only by chance that it was an Oliver. Being the industrial diesel model, it is ideal for my needs that the B is not suited for. They both do what I want them to fairly well and neither can replace the other in their respective functions. The Oliver is my basic workhorse however. Both are used regularly for various tasks. The B is generally not used during the winter months but the Oliver serves it's purposes year round. It would be difficult for me to do without either of them. I recognize that other brands (colors) can accomplish the same things equally well given similar functional capabilities.

Yep I understand where your comeing from. I have a 1950 Oliver 77 and a 1953 77, an Oliver S88 and a few fords, case JDs, Farmalls Allises etc etc. But I do have about 30-35 tractors at this time. Most are just ones I save from the scrap man and then get up and running then pass them on to some one else
