I would not use a shopvac as it will corrode it somthing fierce. A new tube is is cheaper than a shopvac.

I just bought an air/liquid adapter kit from Gemplers. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it should do the job and it was inexpensive. Here's the link.

Hi Walt,

I've used one of those adapters for years. They work well. You can see it in action here.

Hi Tim When you have all the fluid drained or syphoned that you can get use your shop vac, after all the air is sucked out of the tube it will of course suck out almost all of the fluid.
Just tape up a little hose that will go into the valve stem. I tried it and it works. Good luck, Harry

What Adam said is how I do it. I can also tell how not to do it. I backed over a sharp object with my Oliver 1650 which cut a 6 inch slash thru the tire and tube. The fluid came out real fast. There was not much in the tube when I positioned the tractor so the tire truck could get at it. (:^D

Here"s what I do and it works ok. Drive or move tractor so that valve stem is at very top of tire. Bleed air out enough so that removing stem core doesn"t cause air to rush out dangerously. Once core is out put several foot long piece of 3/8" fuel hose over valve stem. Put other end of hose into a barrel, drum, or some sort of catching container if you wish to reuse fluid. If you don"t want to reuse fluid then simply put the other end of the hose somewhere where it won"t damage something or kill your grass (calcium chloride make a great weed killer by-the-way). Then drive or move the tractor so that the valve stem with the hose on it is at bottom-center of rim. The fluid forces itself out through the hose and into the barrel, and it doesn"t get on the rim or leak everywhere. It takes awhile, but is effective. I"ve done it several times and typically I"m able to get all the fluid out except for a few gallons of residual that gravity won"t force out. It would also be a good idea to make sure you have an air compressor not too far away so you can replace the valve stem core and re-inflate your tires. It"s not too high class, but saves a great deal of money over hauling the tires somewhere or paying someone to come out to your farm and do it. Hope this helps.

i just turn rim so valve stem is on bottom and let it drain...i use water only so you may want to use a drain pan...when fluid quits coming out...air tire back up...will get most out so you can break tire down.
