Hey Guys and Gals, I have been told that I can't put liquid in my 8n front tires. I just can't believe that is correct. By the way how much liquid will a 550/16 hold? How much antifreeze should I put in , but first tell me how to do it.
Thanks
Jim

I agree with Pete and Jim B., it just ain't worth the trouble for the weight you will get added to the front. Rig some front weights would be better. Good Luck.

Jim, Sure ya could fill 'em. Use that NAPA fitting Part # 90-234, it comes with an adapter to hook to either inner tube water valves or normal air valve stems. We use winter formula windshield washer fluid and pump out if a 55 gallon drum with a submersible pump and a garden hose. Don't use the submersible if you do use calcium/water though, you'll get about one use out of it. If you are filling a tubless, make sure to stop pumping and relieve the built up air being displaced, a tubed tire will generally allow the air out around the stem on its own. Never seen an N with loaded tires, I don't imagine that it would provide enough counterweight to make it worth the hassle, and if it did, the "armstrong" power steering might not work so well without a heavy implement on the back Pete

You can go to the tractor store or a NAPA dealer and pick up a device/adapter that lets you put water in the tires. It screws on the the tube and you can connect a garden hose to the other end. I recommend that you buy the antifreeze that is not harmful to animals, mix it 50/50, put it in large bucket, get a small pump and pump it in the tires. The adapter has a little button on it that lets you release the air pressure in the tire as you fill it up. I would guess you could get several gallons per tire. I'm fixing to do it to my 4x19s.

Don't know about the fronts. My 9N has sodium-filled rears, and I had a guy with a "house call" tire service come take care of the one that was leaking. Cost about $100 here in Ma. A lot of folks have told me that "filled tires" are a real pain to handle, and given the fact that the fronts wouldn't add much weight anyway, is it worth it?

Yes you can load the front tires on an 8n. It helps to counterbalance heavy rear mounted equipment like a 3 pt disk or a brush hog when lifted.
