getting fluid out of my tires???

farmallday · Nov 1, 2012

Wandering if you guys know any tricks for getting fluid out of a set of 20.8-38??

TSC, NAPA and other places sell a valve that hooks to the valve stem and a garden hose to pump it out.
A small pump on a drill will work. Pump it into a barrel or two and pump it back in when done.

Here is a pic of me removing getting ready to remove fluid. Just put the stem at the bottom when ready to pump.

You keeping the fluid or just want to throw it away?? If all your doing it throwing it away you simply add air to say 25PSI have the tire jacked up and spin it so the stem is at the bottom and pull the core and let it fly. If you want to save it then you need the garden hose hook up and a pump of some sort but again over airing will push it a long ways. So fill in the blank I asked about and it will help us help you

farmallday, I have had to dewater several sets over time and I have never had to save the fluid however it would be possible just by slipping a right size hose onto my drain pipe which is just a piece of copper tubing that will just fit down thru the tube valve stem (I think tube is 1/4" copper about 18 to 20 inches long), a wood block, (1X2 3inches long) with hole drilled in center just bigger than the tube and an Oring that is snug fit to tube. After you have drained all out that wants to squirt out with the tractor jacked up and valve down, slide the copper tube into the tube, straight in should put the end pretty much in the center then slide the Oring down the tube to the valve then the block down to Oring, may need to make small bend in tube to restrict the block from floating on the tube, now myou are ready to remove drain tube and with blowgun blow up the tube and then a quick switch, stab the tube down the valve and hold down with the block, the Oring will make airtight seal. Two times of blowup and you will be down to the last cup of fluid. Takes longer to tell how than to do

I do plan on keeping the fluid. I'm not sher if i'll put it back in with the new set of tires or not ??

Ok so if your keeping it then it is bast to pump it out with a pump like ones that hook to a drill. If you have a loader tractor at hand you can also use gravity to drain the fluid by lifting it high enough in the air that is is above the barrel or what ever you plan to store the fluid in. Send me an e-mail and I can send you a page that shows a few ways of putting fluid in but if you reverse thing it can be used to remove the fluid also
