The tire is most likely filled with calcium chloride, and should NOT leak no matter which way the valve stem is pointed when the tractor's parked. Tell him it's not your fault!

There are two ways it could have leaked.

1.) Defective valve core, or defective valve stem extension fitting.

2.) Leaky inner tube, that let the chloride get out of the tube, and BETWEEN the tube and the rim. It then leaks out AROUND the outside of the valve stem.

You need to find a tire shop with a mobile service truck that can come out and repair or replace your tube, and refill it with chloride, or pump the chloride OUT of the other tire, also. You'll definitely want to get the leaky tire apart, and wash the chloride out of the tire and off of the rim, or the rim will be rusted through in a few years.

Incidently, the chloride is tough on cement, and not good for pets, and kills vegetation, so you need to get it sopped up, and the concrete hosed off.
