cmbb, First go buy a spring loaded air gauge. It will automaticly return to 0 when you take it off the valve.
Drive the tractor forward or reverse to get the valve to the T.D.C. position. then check the air pressure as usual. On my ol M I run 18 lbs on full loaded tires with 2 sets of cast wt.
If you can't get a spring loaded guage use a regular one, when you get finished , immerse in clean water moveing the center porition back and forth like a syringe to draw water into it then expelling it. Turn upside down in the sun till dry. Will help it to last longer. In time it will fail also. But gauges are cheap even if you get one/yr.
Hope this helps,
John A.
