Eeyore much?
Check with the tire guy before assuming they're going to charge a "zillion dollars" to pump the fluid. Ours only charged $50 extra to pump the fluid out into their service truck's tank, and put it back in when they were done with the service. You can't buy a pump suitable to put the fluid in for that, let alone hoses, the adapter, etc..
Like the others have said already, get the valve stem up on top and block up that side of the tractor so it can't squash the tire, and your fluid loss will be minimal.
The nut, by the way, only holds the valve stem against the rim so it doesn't fall in when deflated. It has nothing to do with holding air or fluid in the tire.
The valve stems on these tractor rears are 2-piece, screws into the tube, but if it's leaking around the nut your tube is shot. Otherwise it may be as simple as replacing the valve stem. You can find the replacement stems at Tractor Supply. Once you see them you'll understand how they come apart and work.

One of us would sit on the left fender (away from the clutch) and other would sit on the gas tank and hold onto the crankcase breather pipe.
