re yesterdays post about draining a fluid filled tire. heres an eazy peazey inexpensive gadget i put together. a pipe tee, 2 sillclocks (spelling changed for naughty filter), a schrader valve and a fill adapter. jack the trator up so the tire spins free. put valve to 12 oclock position and remove valve, let air out. hook up fill adapter and garden hose attached to home made valve. rotate valve to 6 oclock position. close valve on drain side. open valve on tire side. add about 15 psi air to the schrader valve. then open drain side valve and drain into your favorite container. it will remove all but a few gallons. heres a couple pics.

pic of the valve set up. any hardware storeshould have the schrader valve in the plumbing section and the bushing to size to the pipe tee.
